My thinkpad’s battery is much happier on Linux than windows. It’s hibernate and sleep work as expected. My windows work laptop can’t even wake from sleep properly unless I I open the lid and re plug the dock each time it’s gone to sleep.
I prefer navidrome https://www.navidrome.org/ over Jellyfin for music as I find it much more responsive and it has extra features like smart playlists. Just adding an extra opinion for those interested.
Thanks for posting the update on what you used
Came here to say this. Now I just need to upvote.
B2 is Backblaze’a version of S3. It’s a cloud storage solution. https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-storage/pricing
Restic will encrypt the backup https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/070_encryption.html
And it will backup directly to B2 so not intermediate storage is needed.
https://beets.io/ could do all of that for you.
Second restic or Borg with a rclone sync to storage. Restic will handle both for you though. Borg is an option if you want a local back up that then gets synced (or use restic to do multiple backups)
I use B2 storage and it’s dirt cheap compared to other offerings. You can use rclone to mount the bucket locally and only recover what you need to save on egress costs.
The advantage of restic/borg is not only encryption but snapshots, deduplication, and compression over a simple rsync.
Rsync.net can run a Borg server if you want to back up to that but B2 is much more cost effective.
I use Linkding https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding which is a clone of pinboard. Not sure if it will work with Samsung browser but I use custom actions on iOS to add links and the web UI to access links
Not much. Probably just support for some hardware that needs drivers like my 3d printer. But that’s what Vans are for right. Most other “windows only” apps work fine under WINE. If I have to say one thing: powertoys (some of them)
