I have that same laptop, and it sounds perfect for what you want. Cheap, repairable, and runs linux well.

I used syncthing for a while. Then tried github with mostly terrible results. Now i’m back on syncthing. It involves a little bit of setup, but i mostly forget about it now. It just works.
I use an Amazfit GTR 2e, and it works almost perfectly with gadgetbridge. The only difficulty I have is i’m unable to manually update A-GPS data, so getting a GPS lock can take a while. But I don’t use it a lot, and honestly, the Fitbit Versa I came from wasn’t all that much better.
I’ve only played a couple hours so far. I just thought I hadn’t figured out how to access the maps not that they didn’t exist…
I dove headfirst recently and switched from KDE Plasma to Hyprland. I ended up using someone else’s config as a base, and I’m still tweaking, but so far, I have no regrets.
I don’t follow any best practices. AUR, updates without checking the feed, etc. Been on arch for 2 years or so without any major issues.
Two days ago I decided to give hyprland a try just for some excitement. Lol.
You can use the archinstall script and get it setup in however long it takes to install everything.
I recently went through the process of manually setting up hyprland. Only after finding out it was added to archinstall…
I finally started looking into emulating on my phone, so I’ve been playing some games from my childhood. Mostly Alleyway and Pokemon Red, with a little Harvest Moon thrown in.
I already wanted a Steam Deck, but was saving up for one of the higher tiers. Then I found out how relatively easy it is to buy the cheap one and add an nvme drive. So, now my savings goal is a lot closer.
EDIT: Fixed some typos
I have the app, but haven’t really used it much. I put most things into my linkding instance and forget about it. Lol.
Maybe I should start with Omnivore first to keep from clogging up my bookmarks.
I’m still procrastinating on figuring out the majority of my backup solution, mainly because I get overwhelmed too. But there is a backblaze personal docker template on the Unraid Community App store. You could do one way syncthing and have that backup to backblaze.
The only thing I currently backup offsite is an encrypted archive of my paperless-ngx content. I use rclone for that.
I found this guide on reddit that goes over borg and rclone. Seems to walk you through most of it. https://www.reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/e6l4x6/tutorial_borg_rclone_v2_the_best_method_to/
But, i’m also making assumptions on your technical abilities, which I guess is part of the problem you have with cli tools…
I use Yakuake and Konsole since they came along with KDE Plasma. I’ve never really thought about using anything else, but maybe I should…
Sorry my wording was ambiguous. I meant I don’t want to get rid of them. I still have an old Palm Pre and Pixi around somewhere too. And an HP Touchpad and Zune…
I’m not nostalgic for much, but I love my old underdog tech. Lol
Almost every time I use Windows, i hit F12 to try and pull down Yakuake to do something quick, and I get annoyed every time. Now that i’m more comfortable with it, the terminal is just better for a lot of things.

I still have a Lumia 1520 and 1020 because I can’t get rid of them. For whatever reason, I never got on board with SHL though. I think I found it too long after I had accepted that Windows Phone was gone…
Photos are one of the few things I don’t entirely self-host yet. I host Immich, but I also proxy through an original Pixel, so I have unlimited Google Photos storage. It’s hard to give that up. I assume Google will make the decision for me eventually though.
I’ve been meaning to figure out the best/most affordable off-site backup, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
It’s just way faster for me most of the time. I can hit F12, do what I need, and be done without messing around with a mouse or touchpad.
