47.56+41.23+1.36+5.28 = 95.43

Is it safe to assume the rest (4.57) is coming from desktop linux users? If so, that would add up to 9.85%.l of linux users.

• Laptop: Opensuse slowroll with Sway
• Home PC: Arch with KDE
• Home server: Debian 12 (headless)

Xrdp with it default configuration on debain12 worked for me pretty fine to access it from windows 7's remote desktop protocol on a local network. There was no sound though, so you may need to tweak it to use pipewire or whatever you are using on your linux machine, if you are using any.

Probably to drop support for xorg. Plasma 6 is going to be wayland by default, while xfce is slow when it comes to wayland adoption

I could be wrong, but i think that was probably on the alpha release, which is now the beta release, so maybe the next stable release will have wayland by default.

Dejavu is the right font for me for both ebglush and arabic letters.

A buggy USB drive dropping out and losing writes it claimed to have written can kill a btrfs

Mixing USB and SATA drives sounds like a very bad idea, I'm holding on using an array of drives connected using USB. hank you for your comment

Thank you for the links, I will hold on using RAID and stick with BTRFS single until I upgrade my storage to higher capacity or my server to something with more reliable SATA slots

Congtats, now go enjoy it!

Would that apply for "sold and shipped by amazon" items?

Not everyone is playin triple A titles, for someone like me who prefer old or/and 2.5D games (which are usually under 10Gib), the 64gb variant would be mostly fine.

That is why I'm actually doing it, we have a couple of old workstation with Win7 we almost never use at my workplace. I use my portable debian on these machines to practice bash scripting, python and recently docker.

I few thing to consider:

• use the fastest usb drive you can get, you will be held back by its access/write speed
• Install the boot loader on the usb drive.
• you can install 'xrdp' to access remitly using thw windows remote desktop.
• You will probably find a docker image of things you are interested in, I recently switch from codium (apt) to codercom/code-server docker image, this way I can access vscode from a browser on any worstation on my workplace.
• Routing can be a bit challenging if your organisation/school use its private intranet, but I set my debain instance (with my phone attached to it in usb tithering mode) to use tinyproxy to connect to the internet from (preferably portable) firefox from any workstation at my workplace.
• Dont tell my boss.

Compare the SN number in the SMART output with the SN on the drive, they should be the same or else theseller showed you uncorrect SMART output or uncorrect drive.

Thank you very much for the explanations.

Would you please explain (then all installs are user install). I dont use flatpack, but the last time I used it (on Tumbleweed) I remember it downloaded its applications/runtime stuff to /var/lib/flatpak then installing them to ~/.local/share/flatpak in the home folder of every user who runs those flatpak applications.

LVM gives you the ability to downsize and resize without having to worry about partitions boundaries. So, if you find yourself in need for storage you can downsize the home partition and grow the root.

That said, I have debian/i3 INSTALLED ON A 16GB USB with a couple of docker containers and vscodium and it is around 10/14gb usage.

"Coming soon" for me started when major DEs started abandoning xorg, not when they adopted wayland.

Why not just install the Cinnamon desktop when it becomes wayland ready?

Is it possible to force hardware encoding? Maybe change the format to h265, I'm no expert but that might free some load from the cpu to the gpu.

Hardware wise, docker on debian is much efficient (and easier to pass through your gpu for hardware decoding) than docker on a vm or lxc on proxmox.
