That does help. One of the things on my to do list was setting up a backup system anyway, so maybe I’ll play with that. Thanks!

Thanks, that’s really helpful. It can be hard to tell between commands and acronyms in conversation with familiarity

This is looking like a good option, thanks!

The old drives are fine, just either too small or too slow, so it sounds like it may be an option

Any help with the acronyms? I’m still pretty new to Linux

That’s fair, if you’re just looking for RGB control and don’t care about mechanical switches or macro keys and stuff, then I would check out what @JTheFox@lemmy.world said about openrgb and see what works and is a decent price.

I’m partial to corsair right now, and have had Razer stuff in the past. Both are fine, though still probably (at least slightly) overpriced for what you get. Either way, I don’t think you’ll regret any of the big makers.

Keyboards in general? Or RGB keyboards? I think all keyboards work fine for core functionality. It depends on what you are looking for out of a “gaming” keyboard. The big makers mostly have alternative software to program rgb and re-keybinds for keys as far as I’ve seen. I know corsair has a good alt software for both binds and rgb, Razer obviously from this post, and I think steelseries has one but can’t remember off the top of my head

Or a dull knife lol

Agreed, I’d take a square and a story stick of sorts over a tape measure

Sadly it’s more common than I’d like everywhere I’ve worked too

I’ll be honest, I’m a bit jealous of his confidence.

Well that was anticlimactic, but I appreciate the information

I’m probably missing something, but what are the two bumps in December and Feb from?

Let’s keep our fingers crossed that ladybird doesn’t die before it’s released. I really want a properly FOSS browser

Either a nice fish dinner or one of the call of duty games. Hard to say

I don’t know if this was to point out that a file is iron and that can sharpen stuff, but I’d like to point out that files are generally made from a tool steel alloy that is formulated to be quite a bit harder than iron/standard steels after it gets properly heat treated. Files aren’t just “iron” and there’s a lot of different steels that do different things.
