\nI bought a System76 Pangolin laptop in March.\u00a0 All AMD graphics and Ryzen cpu.\u00a0 I am getting use to using Pop!_OS 20.04.\u00a0 I haven’t used a Gnome based desktop in a decade or so.<\/p>\n

\nI am considering using Next Cloud hosted or self hosted on Linode.\u00a0 I want an off site backup and to sync files.\u00a0 I have also seen YouTube videos on SyncThing so I am open to it.<\/p>\n

\nThis was, in part, because I set up a new monitor. Using Barrier (https:\/\/github.com\/debauchee\/barrier)<\/a> to have a single keyboard and mouse is great, but changing inputs was a right pain. Found a way with ddcutil to also <\/em>control that from my keyboard. A couple key things to note:<\/p>\n\n
\nI got a 7″ touchscreen for a Raspberry Pi. Combine that with a bit of 3D printing and point the browser to my NextCloud instance and I have a little kitchen kiosk with a cookbook and a calendar. Posted a photo on the MeWe group.
\nLinks to stuff to print for it:<\/p>\n\n
\nAlso,\u00a0 I got a whole new laptop. An Acer ConceptD 7. Pretty sweet machine. Installed Arch on it (of course). Actually tried out using the new guided install script. Took a couple tries, thanks to issues with RST and setting up partitions with encryption… but eventually got it to work. Still refining a bit, but everything works. And I took this opportunity to use Pipewire. That works too.<\/p>\n
