Don't want to backup the whole folder because I only want to keep a few key settings (specifically my taskbar/widgets positions/config) but I guess I will backup whatever I think is probably related.

Izzy takes apks directly from devs repos iirc Fdroid builds everything themselves so its kinda like the debian repos on linux
You can use ADB to disable them
AMD and Intel both have very good linux support. On that note there shouldn't be much of a difference.
In fact, AMD GPU drivers are quite a bit ahead of Intel on Linux. And the AMD laptop has a significantly more powerful iGPU plus it has DDR5 ram. So it should give you noticeably better performance.
More problematic could be the wifi chip, fingerprint reader and maybe the camera.
Wifi nowadays works well on Linux so I don't think that should be much of a problem. Intel Wifi usually has better support though.
Cameras also mostly work though the IR sensor might not work.
Fingerprint support on linux is 50/50 (from linux-hardware, it seems fingerprint on similar models is not working unfortunately). If you know the exact fingerprint reader model on the laptop you can check if it has linux support.
Thinkpads usually have good support on Linux overall so I won't be too worried with either option. I couldn't find the exact models on linux-hardware.org, however I did find similar models:
All AMD models by this name (E14 Gen 6)
Intel pretty mutch only thinks about Winows
Where did you get that from? Intel officially supports their drivers on linux and has many engineers working on support for their products in the kernel and mesa.
Lol good luck but I wouldn't recommend it as your daily os. Qubes is for those who have got a nation state on their back or something like that. For most people, default fedora is more than enough.
(see https://www.privacyguides.org/en/os/qubes-overview/ and https://www.privacyguides.org/en/desktop/)
Probably Qubes OS
Not Sunshine but I personally use Ark. PeaZip has a lot more features (its like WinRAR but FOSS) but I don't need them and so I use Ark which is more focused. I still keep PeaZip around in case I ever need it.
It has been in the works for a long time (since 2022): https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/19059
Yes, but maybe debian enables it by default? You can check by running cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
If the result is 0x0007, it means MGLRU is fully enabled.
One way is to donate to devs who are working on some specific features in the Linux kernel. The two I remember are Hector Martin who lead the Asahi Linux project and Kent Overstreet who is the main dev behind bcachefs, a new CoW FS.
But I guess this only works if there is some dev already working on a feature and is accepting donations. I wish we had community linux project or something similar which was funded by donations and hired kernel devs to work on things the community voted on.

thanks thats really useful! its amazing how much utility the linux shell has
(thanks both of you)
