Awesome thanks. Nobody really totally answered lol

Thanks this was what I meant.

Mull browser is mullvad browser?

What are some issues going in I should know about? The main issues that is.

Energizer makes a 20k mah and 30k mah and their both awesome wireless charging digital percentage display multiple USB ports. Just watch out for the old android charger. If it was USBC it would be perfect. Perhaps they make a model now I don’t know. But the one I have is rock solid. Even in freezing temps overnight left in the car. It holds power well.

I’ve pretty exclusively gamed on mint for 2 years with very very little issues for the most part its plug and play with the occasional steam compatibility change in settings. Don’t launch from desktop icons it’s buggy. I’ve never had issues with hard drive locations changing or anything like you speak of until I decided to use USB drives for game storage. Definitely don’t do that. Media is fine but games nope it works most of the time but causes a headache. Also don’t plug in a Linux drive to windows it Bork’s them and then you have to command line to repair at least for me. Windows blows. I’m on an all AMD system though which widely helps compatibility.

I’d like to run VMs inside whatever I decide to get if I make the plunge. I’m still hashing out all the options and I’ve got a nice desktop to pull parts from 6700xt 5600x or 5600g got both water cooled plenty of ram and 5tb of storage external and SSDs. So I am just trying to figure out what route is the best. Consolidate down to one device overall would be so nice rather than phone, PC, tablet, and then dealing with peripherals, battery chargers, batteries and more. Its a lot all the time. Different OSes and specs. Bad cross comparability. Plus I’d like to run some AI models as well. So I’d prefer something relatively beefy but you can’t lug around a desktop lol. I’d like to run home assistant and generally have a nice capable all in one life device. Seems interesting to toy with atleast. I’m sure there’s downsides I haven’t thought of.

I know. I’m prepared to build it inside a backpack or similar sized carry package. But I was really looking for the most convenient pound for pound processing power an ease of use type device. Running Linux is a must. I’m fully OK with it replacing my phone. I considered a modified steam deck but a GPD seems awesome. Depending on the specs. I’ll dive deeper into it.

Whatever I plan to run is going to be Linux based that’s a must.

I’m unsure what a GPD is but I am about to look into it. Edit: GPD looks perfect, I didn’t know this existed. I’m gonna see what specs I can nail down. I was thinking of building a micro PC with a full desktop capabilities. Like a 3.9l case with micro ITX or so and just running AC mostly, with battery backup on low power when on the go.

Cloning graphene like clonezilla isn’t possible. I have created backups and played with device settings. Capturing a complete carbon copy backup is not possible to my knowledge which seems to be the most ideal given the nature of security around graphene. Now writing everything to an external drive except for the OS could probably be done but you would have to be connected all the time to a USB or cable of some sort.

SSD enclosures look awesome I didnt know this existed lol I’ll definitely be swapping out my flash drives for one of these as long as there isn’t any cons vs say 1 tb flash drive far as performance. I’m unsure how it’s going to perform without being connected to the motherboard slot vs USB. But this is a decent middle ground I suppose.

I am wanting full PC capabilities just in a small daily package similar to a phone but I’m willing to ditch the phone for say a 2 in 1 or ideas??

This is what I worry about. I know a battery will be needed between hard power sources but I want Mint on a 2 in 1 or something similar.

😂

Something something CEOs

Best methods to lower the score on android? I tested multiple browsers on EFF. 17 bits regardless of browser.

I don’t know if your full of shit or this is legit. I really think this is legit.

Posteo is 1 dollar a Month. Its legit.

EFF is a legit site and a very good foundation to donate to. They have many good studies, articles, documentation and lobbying against surveillance.

I’ve tested several browsers and it’d always around 17 ish bits.

Change the compatibility version try experimental, or even I think the latest stable is 9.0. See if its runable under wine rather than proton. Try importing the game into lutris or heroic launcher you could have better luck but steam should be fine as I don’t think that’s the issue. You likely have to redownload the games rather than linking the drives due to file format types being different. I’ve used mint and several family members and gaming has been a breeze without much issues. It seems AMD is much more compatible than any Nvidia GPU. Drivers are better and updated more often under mesa than RTX. Let me see if cyberpunk is runable. Nothing should be an issue but a basic web search will tell a lot.

Edit: after research quickly the game has ran just fine since 2020 on steam since proton 5.0. Its buggy with Nvidia drivers but that was years ago. GoG store works under wine which is inside heroic launcher from software center in mint you can import the game but isn’t needed. You can try to use a custom steam command rather than using proton to launch inside steam. Proton is steams default compatibility layer but could need enable for all games. Go in settings check that box to enable for all games, retry. The game does work! Don’t give up. Also don’t aim the game to windows drive. Reinstall on your mint drive rather than just aiming the launcher. Windows does all it can to screw up anything that isn’t windows , verify installed files after download on mint drive and run the game. Perhaps I’ll add more later. Off to work. Hope this helps!!

See score!

While I’m unfamiliar with Arch I am with steam.

Use custom commands to launch! If it’s working just fine on heroic launcher you can actually add the game into your launcher its known to work in like for instance heroic launcher games can be added to steam just do the reverse.

I’d look into the log file which requires a command in steam to see and look what error its throwing that’ll nail it down exactly then you know what to do to fix the issue.

To do this you have to manually add the custom command under your specific game in the steam, game, cog wheel, properties maybe, then you’ll find a tab called commands or something it’s just a single line text box. Add this exactly. PROTON_LOG=1 %command%

The file should go to your home folder somewhere you’ll have to look possibly under steam folder. There’s all kinds of these steam commands online for every issue so if this tells you nothing simply look for steam commands based on your issue and run a few till you nail it down. Best of luck! You can fix this!

FYI AMD is usually rock solid Nvidia is where a lot of issues come in, so its not your hardware so don’t trip on that. All AMD for the win. I have a 6700xt as well so I’m usually spot on with knocking out bugs.
