  • If you’re on Mint still, that’s X11 fucking you over. AFAIK, Mint hasn’t moved to Wayland, though you might be able to install an experimental session, but I wouldn’t trust it like a distro that’s all-in on Wayland.

    I used to contend with monitors jumping around like a jack russell terrier with X11, never keeping settings, dropping out due to ACPI. Wayland has fixed pretty much everything I had going wrong with that stuff.

    Boot a live USB of some distros that default to Wayland like Fedora, and see how it reacts to screensaving, then make some choices from there.

    The handwaving “science” part. And then in the end there’s this deus ex machina plot point that comes out that makes all the rest of the plot utterly pointless.

    I’ve read a lot of SF, that was the worst because I had such high hope for it after reading what everyone had to say about it. And it turned me off reading anything that’s won a Hugo entirely. That and Redshirts…

    You seem pretty organized in your strategy, I would suggest you just pull a drive in your LVM to check how that goes for you. I’ve had issues in JBOD style LVM volumes with drive swaps, but YMMV.

    Frankly, I use ZFS now in anything that I would have use LVM in before. The feature set is way more robust. Also, an offsite ZFS replication to zfs.rent is a good backup of a backup. But Backblaze is pretty solid too.
