Pop!_OS on my desktop and laptop since 2020.

:x if you want to save a keystroke ;)

:q!

The 61W battery helps a bit. If I’m compiling binaries locally all day, it certainly tanks.

I think the fix for the phantom drain came with the newest refresh (gen 3); I don’t notice a rapid drain when I sleep mine, though because I use the ‘deep sleep’ workaround.

I’ve had good luck with Namecheap.

I have been using a Framework 13 (12th gen intel) since April and I love it. The only complaint is the battery life (5-8 hours of software development with JetBrains IDEs), but in terms of hardware performance, it’s fantastic.

Making more frequent, smaller trips might make it less of a pain? Maybe stop by the dumpster if it’s on the way to/from a daily route you need to take?
