You will probably want to enable the non-free rpmfusion repository. I can't remember if that is an option during install, but if not here's how to do it with the console:

If you scroll down to Media Codecs and HW Acceleration you'll have a guide on how to get proper ffmpeg and h264 and h265 driver support:

Before spending too much time troubleshooting Linux Mint I would try something that's a bit further along with the kernel updates considering your gpu.
Personally I've had good luck with Fedora KDE - https://fedoraproject.org/spins/kde

If you still wanna go for Linux Mint look into how to install the mainline kernel yourself:

I can't find any proper tests on the matter but here's someone with the Thinkpad X13 with the same CPU answering the battery question.

GOG stands for Good Old Games and preserving those and fixing them to be playable on modern systems is part of their business plan. Install GOG Galaxy and you can install the games with a few clicks, after buying them of course.

How easy and expensive would it be to swap this with US English?

On the T14 (not T14s) it is easy. See https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/videos/nvid500443-replacing-your-keyboard-thinkpad-t14-and-p14s-gen-1-and-2-customer-self-service
Seems to be available from ~30USD https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Keyboard-5N20V44072-5N20V43774-5N20X68864/dp/B0B3RV3LK5
ifixit has genuine parts for ~75USD https://www.ifixit.com/products/5n20v44072-lenovo-laptop-keyboard-genuine

Pfft, why argue the name of donut holes when you can create a trinut?

There's a lot of EV kits and also people converting petrol cars for a living, f.e. this little beetle:

Just search for

<Car maker>

<Car model>

<Car model year>

EV Conversion Kits is probably your best bet.

I mean it's been talked about over and over again leading to US accusing TikTok of spying on users and EU* banning Huawei and ZTE from 5G infrastructure.
But end users just doesn't care. They click accept all on every popup without even reading if it's cookies or to allow the site to send scam antivirus notifications. They buy the cheap chinese phone because it's cheap just as they buy shit from Temu and Shein even when their plastic is poisonous and their workers are stuck with 75 hour weeks and not being allowed to leave the premises.

*Not all EU countries has chosen to ban them.

I really hope that day never comes. I dont trust Meta one bit and refuse to use their ecosystem of services. Care to link the mentioned articles?

You could use a computer with a headset as a linked device, that's the closest I can think of.

Ah right, "proof" from ivan.

In the Russian invasion of Ukraine that began in 2022, critics say that Telesur has spread Russian disinformation in Latin America.

Only thing I dislike about the T14s is that you have to dissassemble everything to replace the keyboard. On the T14 it's so much easier.

A refurbished Lenovo T14 or T16 should do it.

As gardenfork always says; Done is better than perfect.

While I'm morally in the opnsense camp I know pfsense has more third party packages available.
Running docker in an lxc sounds interesting, I'm a bit old school and enjoy the isolation that a true vm gives you.

I guess you need to get your own version of the swedish summer vacation.

Thank you for adding your troubleshooting and solution to the thread. This is gonna turn into Wisdom of the Ancients eventually. ;-)

1. Check if you're behind CGNAT
   The allocated address block for CGNAT is 100.64.0.0/10, i.e. IP addresses from 100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255. If your routers WAN IP is one of those then selfhosting stuff accessible from outside requires a lot more work. Ask your ISP if you can have a public IP address and what the cost is or go into the rabbit hole of bypassing cgnat with a vps.
2. If you're gonna host data, especially other peoples data*, learn and use the 3-2-1 backup strategy
   For proxmox which I talk about more further down you can look into their own Proxmox backup server solution.
3. Data redundancy, either through BIOS/UEFI RAID1 (for two disks) or RAID10 (for four disks) or by running ZFS
   This isn't a backup, this is about being able to replace a faulty drive without downtime and having an easier rebuild process compared to restoring from backup.
4. Virtualization, for a beginner that already runs linux I would recommend Proxmox
   This makes it more complicated to get started but easier to maintain the installation and easier to migrate it to new hardware.
   It also allows you more room to learn by doing, that's the bonus of the easier restore, cloning and snapshotting of virtual machines compared to bare metal.

*If you're new to selfhosting then begin with yourself and having only local in-house access. As a step 2 learn how to setup a vpn for access from the outside. Step 3 would be learning how to use a reverse proxy, lets-encrypt and so on for SSL access without vpn.
