  • Debian for work.

    • stable
    • feels lightweight (as compared to Ubuntu)

    EndeavourOS for home usage.

    • Mostly Arch Linux, but has useful preinstalled stuff that makes configuration easier
    • get the latest kernel for the latest hardware
      • tends to run much faster than Debian on the same hardware. Also actually uses the CPU
    • don’t need too many additional packages if I want to build from the master branch of any project, so I can make do without kdesrcbuild
    • also, I get my time’s worth pretty soon after pushing to upstream
    • Steam (Native)

    Recommendation for NAS: Debian of course. Choose hardware a few gens older though.

    If you have old laptops, use OpenSUSE. It should be fun












  • It was completely unusable. Everyone was jamming everyone else.

    The companies deserve all the flak they get in this case. They know it is congested because they are the ones who did it, but don’t care to think about it.

    The least they could do is to let the user change the settings, but “oooh nooo PICNIC!”
    Ideally they should use a WiFi analyser while setting up the device and if there are too many APs of their own company, send a report to their nearby office so that it can be rectified.





  • Yes!

    The one I bought, doesn’t overheat even at 100%, but the ISP one used to overheat even with the WiFi off.

    On the other hand, I recently tried connecting my router directly to the ISPs network (trying to lose the NAT) and it was hanging every few minutes. I was running Wireshark and unable to configure it to get internet access.

    I would consider the main reason for overheating to be internet traffic, but in some models, the WiFi makes the difference to.
