Loving my zenfone 9, has some issues due to the supported network bands but its usable with some tinkering (USA).

It’s quite annoying for me, (when i had an sd card slot) i pulled my card and moved files back and forth a lot because androids “file server” is ass at transferring more than a couple things. WiFi transferring is okay but i don’t like having to constantly map files to an ftp or smb so i can access them quickly, i know I’m in the minority on this but really accessible hot swap storage is super important to me. Most of my drives are removable in my main computer so i can toss them in my bag with my laptop and take what i need with me. My v20 had 2 sd cards tucked into it’s case so i could swap between a (retro)rom library, music library, or run system backups to the 3rd.

Peglin is pretty good, each stage doesn’t take very long.

5 minutes, not 5 hours, lol, love this game but deffo is a quick way to lose an hour

Both are accurate(if the scale doesn’t include a “0” star option)

That’s a solution i never knew existed, that’s cool as hell.

I’m aware, but raid 1 is mirroring which is redundancy, a jbod offers no redundancy so a backup would be even more crucial to protecting from data loss. Also i never said raid is a backup.

If you haven’t looked into it, and if you already have the disks of varying capacity, check out JBOD. You will have to configure a system for backups however as you wont have parity like raid1

I haven’t looked closely at all the bells and whistles of SteamOS. I know it has proton for running games, but how well does it run random software executables i know there’s still a lot of barriers for cross platform interoperability, but I’m not sure how thin those barriers are.

I wonder how well a modern day implementation of this would work considering all the new tools and enhancements to the older tools. I would ditch windows fast if i could just run a Windows binary “native” if a Linux version wasn’t available.

Zenfone is pretty small and had tons of features
