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.

Wayland doesn't allow windows to set their own "top-ness" for the lack of a better term, so Firefox PIP doesn't just automatically keep its window on top unless you go manually set it to be. Every time.
IBus causes extremely stuck/laggy input in some WINE games. I just disable it manually for now, but I am thinking of deleting it. But I can't delete it, because it is dependency-tied to gnome. So I guess I just have to rename the binary, or something. Just an all-round siilly situation.
I sometimes just miss the simplicity from Windows of being able to download and run something trivially. On Linux it's on a spectrum from trivial, to annoying as hell.

This is what came to mind, at least. The pain points aren't that bad. I guess Linux is the best OS for people.
