  • Timeshift <<< btrfs + snapper

    Snapper comes (at least in TW) with snapper-grub, so yeah, you can go back to a working state from grub.

    If an update botches your boot process, you're SOL with Timeshift.

  • Invest in a solid charger (30-40€ will do). You'll keep it for years, it'll charge an odd number of batteries as well (unlike some cheap ones that only charge in pairs) and it charges just the right amount, then stops. Some even have battery test/discharge function, and charge more than just AA/AAA.

    Then invest in a bunch of rechargeables, possibly Eneloops or something good from Amazon.

    Now profit for years to come. The planet will thank you as well.

    Honestly single use consumer batteries should be banned.

  • My experience is the complete opposite.

    I pre-ordered a 13 inch DIY Ryzen 7840u with 32 gigs and it cost me 1600€. I will spend another 50 on an SSD. Not sure you can get that kind of hardware for less, elsewhere.

    A similarly specced XPS for example is easily a couple hundred more.

    Edit: just checked again, at least Dell Italy only sells the 13 XPS with a 13th (or 12th) gen Intel. Fine, I don't really mind it. But it sells for 2100€ (with 32GB, a 1TB drive and an OLED display). I guess that the OLED alone might be worth the price difference.

    The point tho is that even at the same price, I'd still take framework's repairability any day.

    Funny thing is, I'm gonna replace my current XPS 13 with an 11th gen Intel just because the RAM is not upgradable and I'm stuck with 16gigs.

    I'm sick and tired of having to get rid of perfectly fine hardware just because it's not upgradable.

    With framework I can spend another 100-150 down the road and bump my config's 32 to 64.
