I've recently been working on this kind of migration as well (but to Fedora instead), so I can speak from my own experiences:

  • Cloud storage: I've heard fewer issues with Google Drive and Dropbox, but I had tried syncing OneDrive and ran into some issues. I ended up purchasing a license to Insync a while back, which was a bit overkill for what I needed it to do. I'm still working on weaning myself off OneDrive entirely and instead going to self-hosted cloud sync.
  • Software installs: there are a ton of different methods to do software installs on Linux these days. I think Synaptic only does apt (it's in the name!), but a lot of apps are distributed through flatpak, AppImage, or even Snaps.
    • Native packages tend to work better with your desktop environment in terms of theming but any library dependencies will get installed with them, while the others are easier to distribute and include the dependencies with them.
  • Other advice:
    • Play around with different distros and desktop environments until you find something you're really comfortable in.
    • Make a list of your required apps and verify which distro's native capabilities may or may not meet your needs.
    • It took me a few tries before settling on Fedora KDE spin, particularly because KDE had a feature I really wanted: per monitor wallpaper settings without having to install a separate app. I've found that many other KDE apps are really nice too, so I'm sticking with it. KDE also puts me in a familiar desktop environment coming from Windows as well.
    • One irritation I've experienced: gaming-centric hardware is designed for Windows and if you have stuff designed around that, it's going to become very obvious. Yes, there's open source projects that help adapt them for Linux. But they are nowhere near equivalent and generally they lack maintainers to keep them going.
      • I have a Stream Deck that on Windows, I used it for monitoring hardware temps. On Linux, you get app launcher buttons at best.
      • My mouse is a Logitech G604 Lightspeed. Piper + libratbag does a pretty good job at trying to support it, but it's middling at best and unfortunately looking at the repo, they're in pretty desperate need of maintainers.

This is my own personal (and recent) experiences and I'm pretty new to using a Linux DE for a main OS too, so anything I say could be incorrect and I welcome suggestions/corrections.

Reading the article, it sounds like this might be it for Suyu if the pastebin is to be believed. The development team kinda imploded and the code used the Switch SDK, which makes it toxic to continue development legally.

Have you seen his diaperbutt? Pretty sure he’s already incontinent and just hiding it.

My faith in CR original content is not high since all of their WEBTOON adaptations bombed. Solo Leveling is the only one to not be awful.

Tried from Mullvad’s exit nodes in HK and Singapore. Didn’t seem to work.

Tesla’s plug. Nearly every auto manufacturer has announced changing to it in future EV generations.

Fair enough, I went lease because everyone’s going NACS soon.

And miss out on all the struggle and suffering of figuring out how to build a compose file over many hours? Who would want to miss out on that?

All kidding aside, I had not heard about dockge. I might give it a try, see what it can do with my existing compose file.

Looks like this is still routing through dealerships, not direct to customers:

The structure still rewards dealerships, unlike the direct sales models that completely sidestep the business model. When vehicles go on sale at Amazon, the local Hyundai dealer will be the seller of record.

What frustrates me is that if you're going in under the guise of journalistic integrity, why not ask for comment from LMG?

Steve made a lot of solid points, but if you never give them a chance to explain themselves, then it just looks like drama click bait. It's turning me off to techtubers as a whole, both LMG and GN. The backbiting from GN is frustrating, and the maddening pace of faulty LMG videos is sad.

Devil's advocate here: it's possible the person who left the bag there may have some physical disability that keeps them from being able to open the dumpster or lift the bag into it. Not everyone is equally able to do everything you can.
