Back when I still had a desktop system with an NVidia GPU, I never had these problems. On my gaming laptop with an onboard intel + nvidia gpu, I also didn't have these problems. But....I'm very experienced with linux, so most noob problems are not an issue for me. That being said, POP_OS supported GPU switchting out of the box, without having to faff around. YMMV.

Big surprise here.

Do you have a NAS at home with enough storage? You could use wireguard to setup a vpn tunnel, then mount your NAS's storage on your vps via nfs and using cachefilesd. If your upload speed is sufficient, this can work pretty well without too much waiting for a stream to start.

Gentoo is really great if you want to learn a lot about Linux really fast. Back when I still used it, the documentation was second to none.

Proton works on any Linux distro, it comes with steam. As long as you can install steam, you should be golden.

That's a trend that needs to die. I blame MacBook airs and ultrabooks for this nonsense.

Laughs in ThinkPad running Linux.

Short answer, no. Nobody knows. At least not unless you can accurately predict exactly how many API calls and how much data you will transfer.

Serbia is relatively easy to emigrate to. Getting a passport is not that big of a deal there.

People need to stop caring so much about actor's opinions. I generally assume that most successful actors are vapid assholes, which seems to be a safe assumption considering their environment. As such I feel their opinions on stuff is completely irrelevant.

Yet somehow, in the USA at least, people give their opinions the same weight as if it was some political expert or whatever.

Windows XP pissed me off one two many times.

Yes of course. On the btrbk homepage they even describe how to set it up so that a backup gets triggered automatically when you plug in a designated backup drive.

My setup is to create local snapshots and keep X amount of local snapshots. Copy snapshots to a remote server and keep a different amount of snapshots there. Finally I also have a backup drive and btrbk is setup to copy all my local snapshots to that backup drive when it's plugged in.
