  • I have a non-touch 1080p one I got for work, 80€, brand is Arzopa. Works fine, uses USBC for power and video which is quite cool since it’s a single cable, it has 2 usbc ports, I guess if you have a lower power output on your PC’s port you can add a power brick, they’re also both functional so if one breaks you still have the other one. It also has a mini HDMI port.
    It came with three cables: usbc-usbc, usbc-usbc, miniHDMI-HDMI, all three good quality.
    It has folder case but carrying it in my backpack damaged it anyway, I have a couple bright spots, but they’re rarely visibile.














  • I was assigned the installation of a whole industrial line for food packaging, multiple millions worth, on and off I spent like 8 months abroad forcing badly designed machines into working (I was the top tech and I resigned after this job), even ended up in the hospital, likely due to stress. Few months after I left, I go out drinking with a former colleague who had been on site with me, he says: “Well, I’m happy to inform you that, the customer hasn’t called us for months! Means everything’s working, great job!” and shook my hand.

    The following morning, another former colleague sends me the screenshot of a mail from the customer saying that the business opportunities didn’t work out and they’re decommissioning the line. Literal blood, sweat and tears, completely wasted.


  • I use Nobara on my desktop and Fedora on my laptop, they both work fine, although I’ve had a few audio issues on Nobara, but it could be the different hardware. I don’t play emulators, but every game I’ve tried on Nobara worked with no fiddling, just recently: Cyberpunk 2077, Subnautica, Horizon Forbidden West, X4…

    I’ve been using Fedora for I don’t know how long, over a decade I’d say, and it’s hard to overstate it’s stability, it just works, and has great repos. My main annoyance is the frequent major version updates, it’s a quick process anyway, and I never had problems.
