For battery life, I’d recommend you install CoreCtrl so you can adjust your power settings. That, combined with a few other things (I think the Arch Wiki covers most of them) allows me to get quite a lot out of my Thinkpad in Debian.
Why do we even bother with data at all? Let’s just not exist - humans greatly increase attack surface.
Apple should experience bij.
MariaDB for the win!
JavaScript be like that sometimes…
That is so me sometimes.
I’ve had a very good experience with a similarly-speced AMD E16 gen 1.
The only issue I’d warn you about is the Wi-Fi modem might be a Realtek on some models. Mine came with one, and while on recent kernels, it mostly worked well out of the box, it had one issue: something went weird with ACPI when I switched between certain networks, which caused the card to crash and completely disconnect to the system unless I rebooted. I was able to find a fix by changing some options with modprobe.d, which I detail here: https://startrek.website/post/14342770 . Since that, it’s been an extremely smooth experience.
