Ddns is your answer, check your router and see what it can support or just go with whatever you feel good for you and install their updater on your server.

Mtp is your friend, here is hiw I do it on my devices (samsung a23 and both opensuse and arch):

  • I connect my phone to my pc. Then select mtp in the phone notification.

  • Start my file manager (dolphine or whatever) and access my phone storage from there.

  • Make sure to allow the notification on the phone asking if you want to sahre your storage with the external device.

lspci shows Realtek RTL8852AE which is a Wifi6 (ax) adapter, It may not support the latest standard but I don't think it's that old.

I had one before, then 2060, then 2080 and finally 6800 (current one), how is your nvidia experience right now compared to 2018? Any better?

I can always get the media again if need be.

Doesn't that mean you already have backup? It may not be the easiest to restore, but it is a backup nevertheless.

I like to think a subvolume is a directory on my filesystem that:

  • Acts as an independent filesystem.
  • Shares it's parent size (unless quotas are set in place)
  • Can be mounted/unmounted any time
  • Excluded from their parent partition's snapshots. (a /home subvolume is exluded from / snapshots).
  • Can be snapshot-ed independently.

This is by no mead a definition for BTRFS subvolume, but I hope you get the idea.

One EFI + one ROOT partition is what I do on both my laptop and desktop for years, /home is a subvolume to my root partition. This setup suits my needs as I don't have to worry about how big should my root or home (gaming) partition should be.

I use Arch on my desktop and Opensuse on my laptop. They both have options to set up subvolumes from their installer, Debian does not, and I'm not sure about other distros, but you can always set that up after installation, just make your home partition the last one (after the root partition) so you can easily delete it after and grow the root partition without much blocks relocation.

Probably to drop support for xorg. Plasma 6 is going to be wayland by default, while xfce is slow when it comes to wayland adoption

That is why I'm actually doing it, we have a couple of old workstation with Win7 we almost never use at my workplace. I use my portable debian on these machines to practice bash scripting, python and recently docker.

I few thing to consider:

  • use the fastest usb drive you can get, you will be held back by its access/write speed
  • Install the boot loader on the usb drive.
  • you can install 'xrdp' to access remitly using thw windows remote desktop.
  • You will probably find a docker image of things you are interested in, I recently switch from codium (apt) to codercom/code-server docker image, this way I can access vscode from a browser on any worstation on my workplace.
  • Routing can be a bit challenging if your organisation/school use its private intranet, but I set my debain instance (with my phone attached to it in usb tithering mode) to use tinyproxy to connect to the internet from (preferably portable) firefox from any workstation at my workplace.
  • Dont tell my boss.

LVM gives you the ability to downsize and resize without having to worry about partitions boundaries. So, if you find yourself in need for storage you can downsize the home partition and grow the root.

That said, I have debian/i3 INSTALLED ON A 16GB USB with a couple of docker containers and vscodium and it is around 10/14gb usage.
