  If you mainly do work tasks it is perfectly ok. My main monitor is a 4k 60Hz, the second is a 2k 144hz. Both runs very fluid with almost no hiccups. My few colleagues adopted the same layout and are happy with it.

  It is not ok for gaming though, especially FPS or other games with fast changing scenes.

  I have 2 computers connected to an USB switch (not a port replicator but one that let switch the host of your USB switch) and the dock attached to this USB switch. This allows me to quickly all my desk (multiple monitors, webcam, microphone, gigabit network, etc…) with one click. Also both computer just require 2 cables for everything: USB and power cord. It took some time to put it all together but it is now my definitive battle station.

  Unfortunately the dock does not work well with Linux and I am not able to find a non displaylink dock that enables me to achieve all of this. It is just a driver problem, but still…

  For me it is the displaylink dock driver which consume all the CPU in Ubuntu and Fedora. When that will sorted out, but I doubt it will happen anytime soon, I will finally ditch Windows.

  For personal/home use I always buy from key shops. Never had a problem with win10/win11 and even Office (before I switched to open source alternative)

  I thought this was already settled down long ago, at least in Europe.

  Me too, and I was disappointed that the second chapter was a PlayStation exclusive back then.

  I would love to play this new incarnation if it does not get too repetitive and exploration is rewarding in some way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imapsync - Installation and use⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can remap IMAP source folder to destination folder. It’s very likely that sent folder needs to be remapped between different hosts. I suggest you to use the dry-run option and examine the log to see if the folders are correctly mapped.

  More in detail, I created an user just to run imapsync as a good practice in Linux. Then downloaded imapsync in a subfolder of the user home directory, created two very simple scripts, one with the imapsync command with all the parameters I needed and one for the token. Lastly, using crontab -e, I added two entry one for each script.

  You don’t need to put imapsync into etc, it is not a binary and, as far as I know, there is no package that you can install with a package manager, it’s just a script that you download and execute. Anyway, where you put that, its up to you.

  Imapsync is a (PERL?) script you download, and then run it passing parameters.

  If you need OAuth, and it seems so since you want to sync a Google account, you have to download some more files that help you obtain an access token for Gmail.

  But as far as I remember, there are no config files needed to run it. Infact I am cron running it every 5 minutes to one way sync an IMAP account to Office365 (needs an OAuth token too, and a second script to refresh the token every hour)

  Feel free to ask for more, but I cannot guarantee a timely response.

  That sounds like a good plot for an episode in a tv show. I sense potential here. Haha
