OneDrive mirroring

Stop telling me that I am out of storage, I did not ask you to put my files there.

Nvidia Linux drivers

A 2 month old driver from a desktop 3070 failed to detect a laptop 3050, and I had to chroot to remove the offending driver, buuuut

Rescue USB

So it turns out the default Tumbleweed ISO is NOT a live image. Recue didn't work nor did usb boot until I realised. Burned LMDE onto the usb key, and I was able to get back up and running relatively quickly.

X11 Kubuntu egpu support is klunky. at best I have to login again, at worst I have to reboot my system to switch from external to internal GPU. im sure using an external monitor on the egpu complicates things. Praise be to gswitch but windows can handle this very smoothly, just plug & play.
the sound on my system (thinkpad t490) is dogshit. Any sound, even at zero volume, has a rather high noise floor accompanying it.

can't think of a third thing. I'm actually pretty happy with my setup, it's taken me a long time to get to this point.
