Neat project!

While this might not solve all of your use cases, did you consider a tool like mise?

Theres a number of other options out there such as asdf-vm and others who’s names I can’t recall. I recently moved from asdf to miss but its a great way to install things on different machines and track it with your dotfiles, or any other repo you want to use. Mise has tons of configuration options for allowing overrides and local machine specific versions.

It won’t tie into apt for your upgrades but you could just alias your apt update to include && mise up.

I actually have the 500DX and went with the Be Quiet’s cooler as well and couldn’t be happier with both purchases.

The build looks solid to me, with the caveat that I don’t keep up with hardware unless I need to buy it. So, I’m not super knowledgeable about what parts are specifically the best and as to why, but I’ve been on an all AMD linux only gaming rig for a few years now and it works really well. I’d have to recommend sticking with all AMD solely so you have to do less (if any) fussing with drivers. All distros and installs are not the same, but most should have you situated and in a good place.

I’ve been using Plasma 6 and Wayland since Plasma 6 was stable. IMO, you shouldn’t have any issues using Wayland in todays landscape.

I’d definitely recommended valetudo, but wanted to mention that eufy has some easily repairable non WiFi vacs that work reasonably well with no smart features. Eufy has a rough track record regarding privacy with their other smart products but can’t spy without a connection.

Any links or thoughts on sane OpenWRT settings for a home network? I’m a networking noob but learning slowly and would love some good reading or tips.

I use gocryptfs because it can be used on Android (DroidFs) and Linux desktop so I can sync my shares.

There’s a few GUIs for desktop for it that you can try out and see if they help with your use case.

Heroic is working on this feature and you can try it out if you want to currently it just isn’t deemed stable. Here is the PR: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/pull/3020

I’m a big fan of BuriedBornes. Great little old school rpg to pick up and play. Lots of in depth mechanics and replayability.
