@lemm.eeI am strongly considering picking up a recent gen X1 Carbon. I really the like the idea of the device, having cellular data, working fingerprint reader and maybe even using it with an eGPU for some gaming. How possible is all of this on Linux? UPDATE: I managed to find a 9th Gen Carbon with LTE, I can't wait it for it to get here. Arch Wiki indicates everything should work.
I've come into a 2018 Intel Mac Mini, its got an i7 and I've upgraded it to 32gb of RAM. I feel pretty constrained on MacOS as I mostly just game. How function are eGPUs under Linux? I'm pretty comfortable on Linux, its what I use on desktop daily. But I've never tried anything with external graphics on it. Xorg seems like it could be a mess with config files, is Wayland any better?
Potentialy dumb question here, is there any benefit to using btrfs on a non system disk? I'm fairly ignorant on file systems, asfaik btrfs largest benefit is snapshotting, not sure of anyothers.
