I think that is the main thing I need to do. Check all my cloud saves for the games I want to continue. Thanks.

Excellent news.

Manjaro Gnome worked with my Lenovo T480s out of the box.

PS5 and the Xbox are great consoles. I still have and use my PS4. I don’t think you would regret buying one to compliment your steam deck. Disclaimer: I own neither a PS5 nor a steam deck.

I’ll have to check out this book. Just remember HTML cannot be parsed with regex

You could create a Python script to do this. There is a library called psutil that would help. Basically,

• iterate over mounted drives and see how much each has available
• based on these values, iterate over your backup files and separate them into chunks that will fit on each drive
• copy chunks to respective drives

Would be a fun little project even for a beginner I think.

Definitely not humanity’s biggest problem. Chromium becoming the de facto browser creates a situation where one entity controls standards and influences how the web operates, impacting user choice and freedom, and reduces incentives for privacy and security updates.

This already happened once with IE.

I only use Firefox on desktop, but I doubt it will be a relevant choice much longer.

Edit: wrt telemetry, I was referring to the Android operating system. They collect anything and everything on users and all nearby devices.

I see it as a good thing. Apple is not without faults, but anything that keeps Google from harvesting more data is a win for humanity. The Safari browser is the only thing stopping Google’s browser monopoly. Unfortunately it is forced, and 99% of Apple users probably have no clue they are holding up the last line of defense.

I saw something similar to this on an intel Mac running canary years back. I believe toggling GPU acceleration in the settings resolved the issue.
