I’m using the HP Envy x360 convertible 15-eu[some numbers I don’t remember]. It’s working pretty good. Only things that don’t work are the fingerprint reader and it doesn’t detect when you flip it over automatically but I just use a GNOME extension that allows me to manually toggle the onscreen keyboard.
Hardware wise dell xps 13 2-in-1 is a good choice. However folio is horrible, magnetic stand is way too weak and I still cannot figure out deep sleep/hibernation. Aslo fingerprint scanner doesn’t work.
Another thing is that Linux is not the best choice for a touch device. I’ve tried gnome and kde and they both suck. I’ve also tried plasma mobile and it feels like nearly days of touch screens.
I have a shitty hp 2in1 that really sucks, but for taking notes and annotate pdfs is good enough. In case you’ll choose KDE as desktop environment check out this kwin script I wrote to get a tablet-like experience
I wonder how alpine linux would hold up on one of these, as a desktop of course. Alpine is ment for routers so therotically it should work really well.
I still have my white 701 that I put a black keyboard on and soldered in a Bluetooth module. Some of the most fun I’ve had using a computer and I wish the form factor was still a thing.
The question is what is it that you want to achieve? That will drive your choice of tools.
I want to mirror my drive can be achieved by a lot of tools. But I want to be able to restore a file I accidentally deleted up to 24 hours with a 1 hour interval is a totally different game.
For backups I am very fond of restic as it does a lot of things in a simple way: encryption, (incremental) snapshots, mounting of said snapshots, support various storage backends, policy based purging, tagging, …
Your tool may not be able to do all you need, like automated scheduled backups, so you will need to also learn cron (or whatever scheduler you may have)
And finally, what about maintenance? What should happen to all those files you’ve synced? How long do you want to keep them?
It happens in my home office, my living room and my actual office. So where I spend 95% of my time with them. So if that were the case, I’d be very disappointed.
As for comfort - I find they are too tight and my head will start hurt (on top) after some time. Loosening them alleviates this somewhat, but they will drag more down on my ears which I find uncomfortable.
I don’t know what GPU you have, whether it is AMD, Nvidia or Intel, but if you use Nvidia, the standard tool is nvidia-smi (if you install the proprietary drivers from here with the optional cuda package, you can access the command) . You will need to combine it with the watch tool for real time info.
