Where to get spare side panels for Intel NUC 9 Pro
Hi So yeah, ithttps://github.com/JonMagon/KDiskMark/

Could my SD Card be going bad, or could my Switch be?
``` KDiskMark (3.1.2): https://github.com/JonMagon/KDiskMark
- Newly cloned SSD extremely slow on Linux

If your games are underperforming or stuttering, this may be the problem, at least it was for me.
I'd recommend doing a speedtest on your MicroSD using https://github.com/JonMagon/KDiskMark/releases/tag/3.1.2 just to be sure your card is genuine and performing to spec.

Weird download speed issue
But the theoretical write speeds definitely do not apply when it comes to the steam deck, you have an adequate card but I advise you do a speed test in desktop mode using https://github.com/JonMagon/KDiskMark/releases/tag/3.1.2 to double check the actual speed you're getting, it'll likely equate to no more than 80mb/s write which is most definitely not enough to handle download speeds of 70MB/s considering steam unpacks as it downloads.

New to Steam Deck (and PC as well as Steam in general). I have a multitude of questions…
Since owners of this MicroSD card are few and far between, would you mind testing its speed and performance for me, using KDiskMark? You can download the program from here: https://github.com/JonMagon/KDiskMark/releases/tag/3.1.2

PSA: A MicroSD card guide that seems to be sorely needed
Hopefully that provides an insight into why 'U3 A2 UHS-I' is the ideal card you should be looking for with the deck. I would always recommend when you purchase a new card that you run 'Kdiskmark' in desktop mode by downloading it from here: https://github.com/JonMagon/KDiskMark/releases Check the latest release and download the file ending in 'appimage'. From here open the folder it downloaded to, (don't open it from Firefox as it won't know what to do with the file) double click the file and should open the Kdiskmark window. From here you can select your MicroSD card and do a speed test to make sure you are hitting the advertised speeds!

After weeks of frustration and headaches with download speeds I found a solution
I'd recommend you download kdiskmark from here: https://github.com/JonMagon/KDiskMark/releases/tag/3.0.0 (Download the one ending in appimage as it doesn't need an install)

Why is downloading and verification so slow with my SD card?

ChromeOS is Linux with Google’s desktop environment
The team has both made a ton of effort switching off their proprietary Skia based rendering tech and adopting standard Wayland, and has put forward huge effort to making running incredibly well integrated real Linux containers just work.
The headline is true. ChromeOS is Linux with Google’s desktop environment. But it obfuscates the details. It's a damned by omission statement. It has some really good sauce to help you not notice often, but it's not at all a Linux desktop environment one can regularly use. You can do a lot of Linux desktop-y things but only through well crafted special unique wrapped processes that mostly but not fully help mock & emulate a regular Linux desktop. Even though it now runs Wayland, the apps you want to run will have atypical intermediates up the wazoo.
And no one else uses any of this tech. ChromiumOs has so much interesting container tech, does such an interesting job making containers think they have a regular Linux / FreeDesktop environment. It's far far far far deeper virtualization than for example https://github.com/containers/toolbox . But you know what? Google has made zero effort to get these pieces adopted elsewhere. It's open source but not intended for use outside Chromium/ChromeOS. I respect & think ChromeOS is a quite viable Linux, and it's so much closer to the metal & more interesting, amazing tech, but my gods Microsoft has gone 300x further to establish wsl2 as a sustainable community effort folks could use & target, in a way that ChromiumOS has done nothing about.
It's sad how Google has transformed from a company that appreciated & worked with ecosystems, that drove things collectively forward, into an individual player that does their own things & delivers from on high. ChromiumOS is such an incredible effort, but it's so internernally drive & focused, and it's hard to believe in such a wildcat effort, even though it's so so good. It keeps coming into better alignment with Linux Desktop actual, but via shims and emulations that no one else cares about or which seems marketed elsewhere. And that inward focus makes the whole effort both so exceptional & promising, but suspect. Such a different nearby but alternative & separately governed universe. ChromiumOS/ChromeOS do excellent at faking being a Linux desktop, and wonderfully have increasingly drawn more strength from that universe, but are still wholly their own very distinct very separate very controller other space. In many ways that's great, secure, good, and miraculously transparently done. But it's still hard to really trust, being such a weird alien impostor, faking so much for end user apps, and there's tension in believing ChromeOS will keep straddling the rift in pro-user manifestations forever.

Introduction to Immutable Linux Systems
I'm really, really happy with my current setup of Fedora immutable + toolbox [0]. This tool lets you create containers that are fully integrated with the system, so you have acces to the entire Fedora repos, can run graphical apps, etc. while still having everything inside a container in your home directory. That means no Flatpak required. Highly recommended.

Codespaces but open-source, client-only, and unopinionated
Seems like toolbox is also in this space; https://github.com/containers/toolbox
- What’s the safest way to compile apps from source in a binary-based distribution like Fedora?

Ubuntu Core as an immutable Linux Desktop base
With Silverblue the core repos are very similar to what you'd have on regular Fedora. With more of a philosophical shift about where you're supposed to install things from. The idea being that the base OS is immutable and you keep it fairly minimal - even though you are technically free to install any of Fedora packages to it. And then you install user applications through Flatpak and toolbx. Where these more user space focussed applications are installed to your home directory and are sandboxed away from actual access to your OS. With iOS/Android style application permissions like "Give app permission to access camera" and "Give app permission to modify files in home directory". Allowing you even further customise the sandboxing of applications. Do you really want that app to have access to your microphone?

Silverblue: Nvidia drivers in toolbox?
I'd probably try running it on the host system first. If you want to use your nvidia gpu inside toolbox, you would indeed need to install the drivers in the container: https://github.com/containers/toolbox/issues/116

Force to leave Fedora, CentOS vs Ubuntu, which one to choose?
Use toolbox on CentOS or Ubuntu if you want a Fedora environment with more up to date tools: https://containertoolbx.org/
