I think others have mentioned TrueNAS as an OS for your Desktop. TrueNAS uses ZFS which is nice cuz it uses RAM to help with speeding up file operations. TrueNAS makes it easy to set up NFS shares if your laptop is running a Unix-like OS, or Samba, for anything else. IDK how much RAM is in your desktop, but if you can get that to 16 or 32 GB, you'd be set on that front.

For dealing with an OS you don't want to change, I'd think about the following first:

What is the speed of your network card in the Desktop? If its 100mbit, you may want to look into upgrading that, if possible to at least a Gigabit card for PCIe. That would speed up anything you do with it.

As for needing local sync for when you're away from your home network, Syncthing could maybe do what you want. TrueNAS can run Syncthing pretty easily as well, but it can be installed on anything, though, idk how this works if you set Syncthing to track a folder thats also one mounted on your local machine via NFS/Samba. Syncthing will just sync the most recent changes to a file to the server, so you can sync when you're on your home network. Assuming that no one will modify the same files on your desktop when you're away.

There's one thing I forgot to consider in my original reply and I'm sorry for that. With TrueNAS you'd probably have to copy your data off of the existing drives to somewhere else because they will have to be reformatted to create a ZFS pool. I don't know if that is practical for you, so please don't feel like the following is something you must do or anything.

I think you're doing great. Sorry for the late reply. To answer your questions:

  1. TrueNAS Scale is an OS that is built on top of Debian. Using TrueNAS makes set up simpler to set up, but you could implement what you want with a Debian install, but if you were to install TrueNAS, it would replace whatever existing OS you have installd.
  2. Yes, TrueNAS would manage your filesystem. It can manage your hard drives for you. Its UI isn't too hard to understand, and it can be accessed and managed through a web browser on your Laptop.
  3. TrueNAS has some software packages in the form of docker containers, they are managed through the TrueNAS UI. You can browse them though their website here. My advice with these apps would be to set up your NAS with all of the drives in storage pools first before installing these. If theres something you want that isn't supported, TrueNAS can also set up Virtual Machines, and you can use one of those to run those services, provided your CPU supports it and its turned on in the BIOS. If you go need to go down this route, you will have to set up a bridge network in TrueNAS in order to get the VM to communicate with TrueNAS over your network, but that's not particularly hard or anything.
  4. You will need to run TrueNAS on its own computer, yes. What I was suggesting was installing TrueNAS as the OS on your Desktop. Idk if thats practical for you or not, since doing so would need you to wipe everything on the boot drive of your Desktop, so idk if you have a place to copy any important data off of it to.

In terms of comprehension, yeah I think you've got it.
I think a NAS system would handle your caching idea for you, if I'm understanding you correctly. Having a good file sharing setup over LAN, whether its using NFS, or Samba would allow you to mount a folder from your Desktop on your Laptop and access them.

For files that you want to have access to when not on your home network, you could set up a folder that Syncthing tracks on your Desktop, sync that with your Laptop, and then have access to them that way.

It seems like the phone is applying wayy too much of some kind of sharpening filter. Are you zooming in very far? Cuz it may be trying to compensate for digital zoom by sharpening the image afterwards. If you've got a Pro mode setting on the camera app, maybe try using that instead and get closer to your subject, if possible. Pro mode should hopefully stop the app from applying any touch-ups to the image it thinks it needs.

Tangentially related, but I remember being in college when Tesla was like starting to take off. Like the Model S had just come out. I went to one of the Tesla internship presentations on campus and listened to some of the people who had the internship the previous year and they talked about how they were pulling like, 60+ hour weeks and that they had like, a shuttle that ran all throughout the night to take them from the workplace to the housing. Some talked about going back home at like 3AM, and then showing up for work again at 8AM. It really sounded kind of like it would be a very stressful experience and I didn't even want to apply after listening to it. I guess they were paid well, but

Sounds like things have only gotten way more chaotic since then

Nvidia can be tough sometimes with linux, but not impossible. Seems like Linux Mint has a Driver Manager program that can install Nvidia's proprietary drivers for you. When you first install the OS, it'll just use the open source drivers, but those usually don't perform as well while gaming as Nvidia's own drivers, so you'll have to switch them after first boot.

protondb is a website that crowdsources how well specific Steam games work, and any workarounds that may be needed, if you'd like to check game compatibility. You can set it to show only reports from PC users, rather than PC and Steam Deck users.

I got a Xiaomi POCO F5 recently that might fit all your Must criteria (idk about size), but another Xiaomi may work. Just if you're located somewhere that doesn't use the Type C Socket, you may need an adapter or a different 67W charger

Xiaomi has a bootloader unlock process, though it is a bit involved. You've gotta put your SIM in the new phone, create a Xiaomi then you've gotta run their bootloader unlock software, which needs a Windows Computer, idk if it runs in a VM, if thats an issue for you. Then you've gotta keep your SIM in the phone and have it on for a full 7 days and then run the bootloader unlock software again, which will wipe your phone, but now the bootloader is unlocked

You do have to use MIUI for a week before you can wipe it and try something else, but once you go through it its fine. I've been using Paranoid Android on mine with no issues.

This should apply to any recent Xiaomi phone. Just something for your consideration

Yeah im in the US. I use Tmobile and it works fine for me, 5G and all. Looking at the bands that the POCO F5 supported, it seemed like only Tmoblie uses one of the radio frequencies that the F5 uses for 5G. That probably means that I wont have 5G everywhere in the country, but I lucked out and its good for where I live.

With MIUI, i did not have the option of Wifi calling with Tmobile, for some reason, but on Paranoid Android it works just fine.

IIRC the F5 had more bands that worked with Tmobile and AT&T for LTE

Edit: This was when I bought it. Carrier band support may have changed since Nov 2023

ah yes. Ford and saving money and fires...

The article says that this is an extension of a recall from 2022 for the same problem, and that Ford says replacement parts are available, but its odd to me that they wouldn't just replace them. I guess we're still on risk calculation vs people freaking over a known reason that their car could catch on fire
