I've tried a RPI 3b for backups & home server, but found it too slow. Also backup drives connected over USB are said to be unreliable. Since then moved to slightly bigger, but fanless & low power motherboard, with intel x86, in mITX form factor. Asrock sells a bunch of motherboard models with J-series processors. Its more expensive though
I used to have three ~25" 1080p monitors side by side, but now switched to two monitors stacked vertically (1440p + 1080p). I think vertical stacking is probably better for my neck, also takes up less desk space.
great to see this progressing!
I have a touchscreen netbook and have hope that these improvements for touchpads will also help with touchscreen gestures
I'm running opensuse tumbleweed past couple years on my laptop & desktop, with btrfs as root FS. No issues.
I also run btrfsmaintenance script every month, maybe that helps.
