Calendar depends on it. Even in windows 11, mail and calendar accounts in settings don't function right if mail (& calendar) is removed

They've got a long way to go, but as a lifelong Android user, I have to commend Apple for the improvements they've (undoubtedly have been forced to) make thusfar.

I've been using the Zen fork of Firefox and have been enjoying it greatly. It's still pretty early, and a lot of the Firefox issues are still there, but regardless it's felt better than any other browser I've used lately.

And since it's Firefox, it's unaffected by he Mv3 bullshit

Personally I've used Western Digital, Seagate, and PNY drives with no failures. Stay away from anything HP branded; they don't actually produce drives but rather rebadge other failure-prone models and make it damn near impossible to claim any warranty.

I've had a Samsung Evo drive fail on me, but warranty was pretty easy. I've also had a PNY 2.5" ssd that has never failed on me, but I did break the connector off accidentally. Warranty was actually ridiculously easy on that, despite it being entirely user error.

If data is mission critical, it's worth shelling out extra; stay away from any cheap brands (HP, SanDisk, etc) and opt for the higher end models in reputable brands (Eg WD Red, Purple, and Gold vs Green and Blue, or Seagate Ironwolf or Firecuda)

These are my own personal experiences. Others will have better/worse experiences and I encourage you to seek out others' experiences and options, as well as others to add their own

Friendly reminder that Lexar isn't Micron anymore and was acquired by Longsys. I've had reliability issues with their products since

Arcane is a fantastic series, eagerly awaiting the next season. Even my sister is into it (and as far as I know she has no clue what League of Legends is)

Interesting, both of my F40 installs with btrfs only have a root folder, but it looks like yours has created separate ones for /, /home, and /boot. run ll /mnt/boot; ll /mnt/home; ll /mnt/root so I can take a quick look at where things are located. My best guess is that sda1 gets mounted to /mnt/boot, while everything else (/dev, /sys, etc) gets mounted to /mnt/root

Since you're using btrfs, there is likely another subfolder under /mnt. ll /mnt will tell you this, but the drive isn't still mounted from the other day. When you're mounting the EFI partition, you're going to want to mount it to that folder, and not /mnt itself (/mnt/root/boot/efi, instead of /mnt/boot/efi) same for the binds (/dev, /proc, /run, etc)

Oh absolutely, my account has been overwritten (as if that does anything ) and deleted for over a year now.
