I had no idea there was even a native Spotify port for Linux.

Most of that sounds pretty easy to pull off. I have a few thoughts, though:

• What games do you run in Steam?
• Just a bit of a warning: Discord is annoying about updates, at least with the Debian version. I can't remember what the Flatpak does.
• For MS Office, most distros should come with LibreOffice. If you have problems with LibreOffice, then Google Docs should be fine.
• You'll have to run Spotify from the browser, but I imagine that won't be a problem, as you're probably not an audiophile
• Run GIMP as a Flatpak, as distro versions tend to have weird bugs with the resynthesizer plugin.

Mint’s fine. I might also recommend PopOS - it just seems to be less crappy Ubuntu.

When I exchange files between host and guest, I usually just go to the directory I want to share and run python3 -m http.server

I encrypt my disk with LVM on my Debian laptop. You'll need to reinstall your operating system, as you have to do special partitioning. If your device has a TPM, you can use Clevis to set it to auto-decrypt.

You might be able to script something with Debootstrap. I tested Bcachefs on a spare device once and couldn't get through the standard Debian install process, so I ended up using a live image to Debootstrap the drive. You should be able to give a list of packages to install and copy over configs to the partition.

Honestly, make an issue in the OpenRGB Gitlab.

I got a Roccat Pyro that didn't work, and when I found that out, I was able to test someone's pull requests before they were merged.

Precisely. Spoken like a true 25% Vulcan.

I do kebab with underscores.

I imagine it runs much more nicely than UTM SE on iOS. I was never able to get UTM JIT to work.

Honestly, I want to jump ship from Apple, but I'm not in a position to do so at this time.

What about this process: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t14-type-20s0-20s1/20s0/solutions/ht500008-how-to-update-system-bios-windows#Update

See "Updating the BIOS from Windows". It's not your exact model, but the process should be the se.

That's something you'll have to Google, but there should be a tool in Windows (you might have to install it from OEM website if you've reinstalled to debloat).
