I think it would be irresponsible to go back to it in light of the developments since the purchase.
Absolutely agree. I’m actually shifting client hardware over from VMWare, last one is slated for end of Jan actually.
Laptops I’d say are more problematic because the hardware choices are usually less standard stuff and more whatever cheap bits they can shove in, I think the worst recent issue though with a (lenovo) thinkpad was brightness controls not working. So I used ahkx11, AFAIK no Wayland support yet, but that’s fine for the like 8 or 9 year old laptop its on (now my wife’s laptop).
I have a tendency to stick to the CLI for… Just about everything tbh, but regarding the shutdown bit, startup order and delay is the reverse for the shutdown process, no scripting needed if your issue is just proper sequencing.
And I get it, a bunch of my hardware has been getting decommissioned hardware one way or the other! I just mostly take home the little desktops most buy these days (can’t wait to get a couple of the slightly fat ones for my rack, those little guys are monsters).
