I put a similar amount of money into a used fujitsu T935 a few years ago for the same reason.
It was great for this, so I'd recommend looking into used 2in1 laptops. With linux and TLP you can easily get enough battery life out of pretty much anything.
No need to reinvent the wheel. It works perfectly without any of the problems new software has. Though it does get a bit small on today's screens and fractional scaling is still such a mess I refuse to use it.
The thing is that WSL isn't a good place to test it. I've had major issues with stuff like EDSM (for elite dangerous). It works fine on windows, linux with mono just straight up doesn't work and proton is still a pain because of all the windows dependencies.
There's also a reason why keepassXC exists, a rewrite was probably easier than making the .NET orginal run properly on linux.
Seit die Zettel mit je 500 und 200 Argumenten de facto nicht mehr existieren, braucht man dafür ganz schön viele Koffer.
Eigentlich wäre es kluger, da vom Papier abzusehen und digital zu argumentieren. Außer natürlich, man hat etwas zu verbergen und braucht die Anonymität des Papiers. Das kann ich mir bei Politikern aber auf keinen Fall vorstellen.
Great to hear, but I'd recommend against manjaro. While it appears to just be arch with an installer and some more preset, it has its own repos that are behind the arch repos. This causes a huge amount of issues that normal arch doesn't have.
While I haven't tried garuda yet and installed arch on my own, it seems like it actually does what people think manjaro does: Make arch easy and keep the benefits.
I have a colleague who I suspect might be slightly autistic. There have been a few situations where looks have been exchanged but he didn't seem to notice, like for example when he asked our department manager for some more details in our yearly result when the manager was stressed. So the manager gives him a super quick answer that we just don't have that data. He kept asking why and brought up ideas to gather it and our manager made it very apparent that he doesn't have time but didn't say it until 2 minutes into the conversation. Everyone in the room noticed, except for that one person asking questions.
He also delivers jokes in a super dry manner that makes the words hit harder instead of saying it in a funny way.
So should I tell him? It could be a very awkward conversation if I'm wrong.
AfD is mostly populism. Apart from immigration they hardly agree on anything and have a lot of internal conflict about what the stance of the party should be.
The current situation is that the established parties (and especially the media) don't engage much in discussion with AfD and just call them nazis, which divides the country. Admitting publicly that you vote for them will also get you thrown into the corner of people everyone calls nazis.
I wouldn't call that weird. Microsoft's track record for anything involving security is absolutely atrocious, to a point where you now have to assume everything in azure and every single windows computer is compromised:
