The guy seems fine after treatment… Not a great experience though.

Oppo has very aggressive battery management.
While I was using one, had to manually turn off battery management for syncthing, and check after major updates…
But worked flawlessly once that issue was solved.
As a friend of mine said some years ago “VLC will play a slice of cucumber” that pretty much sums it up.
I use SSHFS when I want to quickly grab a file off my server at home.
It is not a permanent solution, but it is fast and SSH is almost never blocked so the network I’m coming from doesn’t matter.
Also SSH is great, if I don’t trust the network I’m on, I tunnel all of my traffic through my home server over a SSH connection (this worked whilst I was in China a few years ago, waiting for my connecting flight).
I ran Ubuntu 8.04 for a while, it was the unstable. I gave it another crack when 10.04 came out. I haven’t looked back.
Currently running Mint, cinnamon is a great desktop
I am running Slimbook battery, for improvements to battery life. I’ll check the power settings to ensure the power state isn’t changing randomly.
Thanks for this, I managed to get the firmware updated to 624361WD; hopefully it fixes the issue.
It has a standard m.2 slot (I did a bunch of research to confirm before purchase), RAM is soldered down unfortunately.
I swapped the 1TB for a 4 as soon as I got it.
I hope it isn’t faulty, I live in NZ and got it from Amazon in the US…a RMA is not something I’m keen on.
Funnily, I only run AMD now for the same reasons, except with Nvidia as the PITA. Always ongoing driver issues, power management or fans running like jet turbines… Last 3 machines AMD, no issues with the GPU’s/drivers.
I have been using various distros since 2008; I use Mint as my daily driver.
Stability is the biggest factor for me, I want a OS to get out of my way and let me get on with what I’m doing.
I was having a lot of random crashes and weird errors on my Mint install, using the logs, I tracked it down to a SSD fault.
I really didn’t want to send it back, since I got it from Amazon and I’m in NZ… So after a bit of checking I found that the FW on the SSD was not the latest. Updated the FW, went from at least 1 crash per workday, to no crashes in the last 6 months.
My SSD is a WD SN850X 4TB
