Nope always on. Also runs homeaasiatant so if it was off I would lose the schedule use for lights, or phone connection for on/off etc. But yes, get a UPS, even ifvyou haven't had a power faikure a good UPS will monitor and correct voltage amd dirty power. It has saved me a couple of times.

True dat. I had a reasonable family safe network, and certain things blocked. My daughter was watching some regular movies on a shady website. Me: how did you access that, and doesn't that need an IP in the US? Her yep, I wanted to catch up on episodes so I setup a proxy server. Me: blink blink OK. I was too glad she learned proxy server setup on her own, to suggest she not access that site.
No it's too old and cheap for extra slots. But for 2011 it runs office stuff, zoom calls, etc perfectly fine. With w10 it was a complete brick.
I did that later but this laptop only supports SATA II speeds so it helped, but isn't game changing like it would be on SATA III speeds
Is the A6 from 2017/18? Should be fine with anything. My wife's laptop is from 2010/11. I tried all the DEs because of the lightness claims, I found GNOME worked the best, and it is super peppy running NixOS.
I asked online why GNOME would perform better than what is assumed a lighter DE, and a comouter dude says GNOME goes and gets everything it needs and caches it when you launch something so retrieval is faster in the app, KDE loads stuff on demand as it is asked for so a alow CPU and HDD hinderes KDE for me.
if you can afford it, by 4 more gigs of RAM
Leap with Gnome. Really solid
Sorry, linux is boring now now.
I found that on OpenSUSE. Once getting past the learning curve of linux and OpenSUSE's general use, It has updated flawlessly for years and there is never anything to tinker with.
Containers are great to keep OS separate from apps, but VPN seems pretty integral to OS, so I don't see an issue using rpm-ostree. Containers often prove challenging because of not being able to get permission or share data between apps ( on purpose )
Lol. It is. Before my first coffee.
Depends on direction
