Steam is natively installed and works perfectly. You can install other packages, but it effectively adds another layer which slows down updates a bit.

I found out about OpenLinkHub recently and it works great with my Corsair AIO cooler that OpenRGB doesn't support.

Is there supposed to be a link?

The switches reset into a neutral position, so you can't tell if they're on or off except for the LED.

The dimmers don't make a noticeable sound but the switches make an slight audible click when turning on or off.

Worth noting mine are a few years old and they may have changed some things.

Are you looking for scene support (double, triple, etc click events) or just being able to remotely control the light?

Worth noting several brands have cheaper "add-on" switches to use in 3-way scenarios. You would only need one smart switch and add-ons for the remaining switches.

I personally have a bunch of Enbrighten dimmers/switches and add-ons that work like dumb switches when disconnected from the hub. I too was concerned with the WAF (wife approval factor).

Have you looked at the Starlite? It's more expensive than an android tablet but might do what you're looking for.

You can use two separate VPNs if you use a work profile to run the second one. I'm not sure if this would work for your use case though. Check out Shelter if you want to give it a try.

If you like the idea of asdf, I would recommend looking at mise. It does all the same things (and more) and is much more performant in my experience.

It's probably a bit late for a new ESP32, but if not I'm a fan of the M5Stack Atom Lite. It's a solid little device and comes in its own case.

I have been trialing pacdef recently. It sounds like it would do what you're looking for.

The guided installer will resize your disk volume and set it up for dual boot by default. It's Fedora based and uses KDE Plasma which is a great user experience IMO. Admittedly, I only booted into it to briefly kick the tires but the install was a pretty smooth process. This page details what features are still missing so I'd suggest looking there first to ensure you're not missing anything critical. For me, missing USB-C monitor support is a deal breaker.
