here's a tip if you only have one alarm you're less likely to sleep thru multiple alarms

partitions are used for organizing, the downside is that more partitions make each one smaller

I end up running 1 btrfs partition sagred between all my installed Linux distros on one system

lvm is also awesome for resizing and moving partitions

my desktop right now has nvme0n1p1 as my efi partition and p2 as a lvm pv

inside that lvm I put everything else as it's very easy to resize and move them (I also have p2 encrypted with luks2)

like you'll be fine, but id get and 850 so you stay at the peak efficiency marks

I've have a monitor that locks to 33-92hz when free sync is enabled (144hz otherwise) it's way more useful at lower fps values that higher ones

I've not really used samba in dolphin as I find it more reliable to just have systemd handle automounting all filesystems as it allows other programs to access the locations

I've not noticed any performance issues using it this way, tho I only use a few shares on my local network

/run contains all sorts of virtual stuff, it doesn't persist over a reboot,

I would advise against deleting anything in it as those files are used by programs running as whether user has the ID of 1000 (most likely you)

it contains things such as sockets and lock files so that programs can interact with each other

you can use a % in the search bar to search your currently open tabs

do you have DNS over https turned on in Firefox? iirc nordvpn blocks it to prevent DNS leaks

lsof is a good tool would recommend it whenever something weird is happen, tho you gotta be root for it

because you've updated be tween releases you may have a large cache of file for apt

you may want to run sudo apt-get autoclean to remove old files that aren't in the repo (replaced with new versions)

apt-cache stats will tell you info about the cache

not sure your exact case, but I would highly recommend using pipewire, Bluetooth audio devices were nothing but pain for me with pulse audio and they just worked on pipewire

I've used Sony xm4s
