I believe it’s mostly drawing tablet support in Qt and in turn porting to Qt6 that’s holding native Wayland builds back.

Just note that with Bambu printers about past data collection practices and their in general mid to atrocious after-sales support. If this doesn’t deter you, then go ahead and get one.

I do a lot of my functional parts in ABS, ASA though printing such material may be difficult on an open-air machine. The two obvious choices will generally be PLA or PETG. PLA is one of the most common printed materials, and is fairly balanced in material strength. PETG parts are more likely to permanently deform heavily before fully snapping, as well as they have a but more temperature resistance than PLA. Additionally most PETG plastics hold up decently well to UV, often making them more suitable for parts that need to be outdoors.

PLA takes not much consideration on surface to print, as most printers come with a smooth PEI build sheet by default. It will however need more cooling than printing with PETG at equivalent speeds. If you use a PEI sheet for PETG, make sure it is textured. You will destroy a smooth sheet if it doesn’t have some kind of release coating to lower its adhesive properties to PETG.

There is no guarantee for spools of filament to actually arrive dry, so a filament dryer isn’t a bad idea. I don’t have any particular recommendations for a good filament dryer. I have a Filadryer S2 from Sunlu, but am not impressed by it.

For multi-monitor: use Wayland. For 2.5Gbps Ethernet NICs, they never work properly on any system in regard to performance, but I presume you are referencing the subpar Realtek NICs not connecting? Depending on the distro, you likely won’t have the driver and/or firmware package preinstalled to make it work.

It was indeed carrier locked, which was why I used it as trade-in value for a phone rather just selling it and later buying a newer phone.

In my case, AT&T sent me a Galaxy Note 9 to replace my Google Pixel XL, which I ended up never using and just used as trade-in value to get a Pixel 5a.

Both not possible and unnecessary on Wayland.

The specific patent links seem to be broken. All return 403. Here are functional alternatives.

Largely things look good. It might be a good idea looking for a motherboard that has Intel ethernet rather Realtek. I’m also a bit curious if the barebones VRM design on the board is adequate as well.

A summary from its site and known technical details:

• no telemetry by default
• includes uBlock Origin
• has sane privacy-respecting defaults
• prepackages arkenfox user.js
• relatively well-maintained fork of Firefox that keeps up with upstream
• No major controversies AFAIK

As for Windows 7, nobody should really need to install Librewolf anyway on such a device. No device running Windows 7 should have access to the internet at this point. If you are asking about compatibility intending this use case, you have bigger problems to worry about than your choice of browser. If you just need to view HTML files graphically, even Internet Explorer or an older firefox ESR will do.

The heated bed is coupled to a thermistor. I’d argue controlling the temperature in order to not accidentally overheat parts of the phone is a step above a hair dryer.
