That just depends on the contents of each specific thermal paste. It can contain silver, making it potentially conductive.

Thank you!

Just to chime in I’m facing the same issue on Arch with a 5950X and 6900XT on a X570 Aorus Ultra. It has never really worked for me either.

Vencord is great but sadly it doesn’t support global hotkeys so PTT doesn’t work.

OP, did you end up buying this laptop and if so, do you like it?

It does

Same here :(

As per the FAQ:

We will submit all changes to upstream to eventually benefit Thunderbird.

As per the FAQ they seem to share the exact same profile so you can seamlessly switch between them (provided both are the same dot release).

Edit: in case that doesn’t work, run betterbird -p and select the right profile. For me it chose the wrong one.

Running an older kernel isn’t an option? Otherwise compiling your own kernel with the drivers should be possible I assume.

It is, but with kernel-specific packages you have the kernel linux(-lts) and the kernel module zfs-linux(-lts) and they aren’t in sync. Even with the LTS kernel I run into the issue that I can’t update the kernel since there’s a dependency issue between ZFS and Linux.

I have both LTS and zen and I’m currently on 6.6.36 and 6.9.7 respectively.

I am using ZFS on root on Arch using 2x 2TB SSDs striped . I mainly did it because my server runs on ZFS as well and thought snapshotting and backup would be easy, but instead went with Borg backup anyway.

Installation wasn’t very difficult, but the ZFS kernel modules can’t keep up with kernel updates (even with LTS kernel) on Arch, so I constantly need to do partial upgrades and it’s been annoying. As much as I love ZFS I’m not sure I’d do it again on Arch. If your distro is not using bleeding edge kernels then I don’t foresee any issues really.

Except push to talk doesn’t work in Vesktop/Vencord sadly.

You didn’t mention KDE’s lack of any adequate stability. That’s what makes it incomparable to Gnome.

But then also:

However it’s important to keep in mind that experience can vary among users.

Oh the irony.

If you feel like you need/want software from AUR you should check out Distrobox. It can run any distro on top of your installation using Docker under the hood, but it tightly integrates into your system so with little effort you can run AUR programs from your launcher as if they were natively installed on your Mint.

Alternatively: cheap second hand RAM.

Yes, but for how long?

There’s a separate quota for email storage and cloud storage.

I have started using Mailbox.org since about a year with several custom domains. Its around 3 €/$ per month for the basic tier which also includes some cloud storage and an online office suite (of which neither I use). I’ve been happy with it.

Agreed, this has been my experience as well. I tried switching to full time Linux multiple times. I had already used it on my laptop for years but on my desktop I kept going back to Windows because things on Windows just worked the way I wanted and thought that for some things there weren’t any Linux alternatives.

That was until two years ago I challenged myself to only use Linux for a month. I’ve been using Linux on my desktop ever since and only use Windows now and then to play a single game that doesn’t work on Linux due to anti cheat.
