This sort of happened to me at work. We got a new laptop amidst a massive time crunch, and didn't configure anything before installing our instrument's software and getting to work. At the time, we didnt have a paid 365 account or anything, so we were just saving data in folders on the desktop at first. A couple months later, all the files, folders and launchers on the desktop disappeared, replaced by a single icon called "where are my files". It was a web link that directed us to buy 365 or else lose all our files...that we thought we were saving LOCALLY.

Not really the minimalism you're looking for, but I have a mountain of respect for Jonathan Blow and his team. Made their own engine for The Witness so they could have full control to tweak the player experience juuuust right. And imo it still looks beautiful and plays nicely on my laptop's apu. At the moment they're creating a new programming language because he feels c++ is bloated, and they're developing another puzzle game with it. He's got a lot of gripes about the state of game/software development, and damn he's trying to do something about it that he feels is meaningful

OnePlus has a pretty good track record for this

Weird, I have a less extreme, but opposite experience. More stuff works better on Wayland for my laptop (Debian 12 + KDE, Ryzen 5500u)

I have a Lenovo Yoga 6 13" that I've had a pretty good experience with. Screen rotation didn't work properly on Ubuntu 20.04 when I tried it back then, but I switched to Fedora 36 KDE, which worked great for over a year. I'm now on Debian 12 + KDE with an equally good experience. Fingerprint reader is not supported, but I didn't want to use it anyway.

My wife's Audi keeps doing the same. The system also isn't smart enough to account for the rate of weight transition when ramming the brakes, so it immediately hits ABS and feels like it's trying to stop on ice. It's actually, genuinely fucking dangerous and enraging

Jfc every goddamn time I need to fix something on my work laptop this is the exact (and only) response I find

Not yours, but I figured I'd pop mine in here too

Thank you for your detailed responses - I'm going to look into KeePass and maybe a Yubikey after reading your description of how it works. I hadn't considered a Yubikey before mostly because I'm prone to lose things, but also because my encrypted file password is >12 characters and a fairly random mix of lower and uppercase letters, numbers and special characters.

Thanks, great point. Lots of suggestions for KeePass here, so I'll definitely look into it. I appreciate the command line tool recommendation as well, as that's my preference. Cheers!
