Just use an LLM, describe what you need and you get a commented config that does what you need.

I use it for:

- job 1: every 15 minute autosnapshot and cleanup

- job 2: push encrypted snapshots to an external harddrive via cronjob and signal

- job3 (another server): pull snapshots from the main server via ssh for ransomware resistant backups (mainserver cannot access backupserver at all)

If you are looking for something non-mainline with exceptional drawings, you could check out Chiaki Okada's work. My kids loved the "Spring" book with the ice bear (in germany it is called "Bist du der Frühling", but i did not find an english translation)

They really should make a notebook board with the strix chip, like the zbook ultra g1a. I wouldn't mind the soldered ram having the opportunity to get this Kind of performance with no upgrade path if it had a good reason

Something like gitolite has the benefits of access control... act can hell with actions. But I like the webif approach

No... I use a combination of Aurora, Obtainium and F-Droid.

Unfortunately there are APP providers actively preventing their apps to work on graphene OS, so i own an extra use@home cheap broken glass iphone for these mandatory but non-graphene apps.

It is a pain and it is getting worse... I'm really tempted to get back to the Apple ecosystem for less shens but currently i cannot do this yet... It just feels wrong but the pain is real. I'm Lösung the fight of investing too mich of my time in things that just should work.

T14(s) is to small for my old eyes - see comment above ;)

Yeah the T14(s) would be the right choice in nearly all of my requirements - even Gen 4 has Ryzen 7840 + OLED + 32GB configs (rarely, but available).

Unfortunately T14 is NOT > 14.5" Display... I would prefer a 15-16" Display (I'm getting old and my eyes are not as good any more), but all of these have a numpad, except the Thinkpad P1 which is only available with Intel and pretty expensive. So the only Ryzen > 14.5" Display option without numpad might be the Framework 16 or maybe some other non business or niche brand.

Yeah I know... ZBook Ultra G1a is the only "notebook" alternative while the z13 i more like a "Pad" with keyboard - and while the zbook seems to be a good notebook in general, it is not > 14.5". Otherwise I would have bought it right away.

To be real I already had my mousepointer over the "order" button, when it was 3099 with Ryzen 395+ and 64GB RAM, but I didn't do it and 3 days later it was 3299 - regrets ;)

Another option as buy a used T14s with Ryzen 7840, 32GB and 2k Oled for 699 - but it was too far to check it out and pay it in cash, so I skipped... regrets²

I was looking for a Notebook (best case Thinkpad) with the following Criteria:

- Business class

- Ryzen 5 or greater (Strix Halo would be great)

- >= 32GB RAM (soldered would be ok)

- 14.5" WQHD 2560x1440 Display (>1920x1200)

- NO Numpad / centered keyboard

- >=70Wh Battery

There just is hardly anything to find in this category. There is Dell Precision, Hp Elitebook, LG Gram, Acer Swift... but somehow they all feel unsufficient. The Thinkpad P1 was close, but has Intel...

So I'm gonna wait until the Framework 16 Pro (if ever released) or until Intel gets another decent GPU upgrade so it can compete :-)
