I mean sure, if they were all the same standard or marked on the packaging as to which standard your phone uses, and what standard the adaptor uses would be easy.

I’ve lost the headphone jack since moving from my S10+ to a pixel 7 pro. The convenience is missed but not forgotten.

Use X not Wayland on NVIDIA GPUs. I’m running nixos on my laptop / desktop and big picture works without issues on both hosts.

4800hs + 1650m / 13900kf + 3070

Was common practice in procurement for me and my team, still have contacts at ASRock / Keychron / Logitech / SteelSeries / Beacn / HYTE / Maxsun and many more.

Was a platform that was used early on and has carried through. Factories in China will commonly use WeChat but many of the more mainstream western brands will default to Skype.

Proxmox Helper Scripts are an easy way to get a homelab setup, I’ve found its as complex as you want it to be:

Easy to make a ZFS pool and share that to a container / VM. Pass-through a GPU to a VM / Container for transcoding. Plenty of tutorials online for these features.

I’m running some old hardware on my setup currently, 64gb ddr4 x99 platform with no issues and planning on moving to a more recent Intel consumer platform.

OMV can be run in a VM / Container on proxmox, but I find that’s redundant for a single node when using ZFS.

I feel the small hump in initial configuration of proxmox is worth the payoff for long-term expandability.

Saying so my views may be skewed as I migrated from w10 pro to proxmox, I’ve delt with some issues (from my lack of understanding of the platform), had some complete rebuilds of containers and am still dealing with the pains of having upgraded to the unstable channel; trying to migrate back to the stable channel.

All proxmox aside I’m planning on moving everything over to nixos after having it installed on my desktop and laptop for a few weeks now.

Id suggest Proxmox as a great starter, some amazing scripts out there, supports some GPUs passed through to containers and VMs with tweaks

Is this like nix with extra steps?

Kidding, but sounds interesting if I ever want to venture away from nix
