Twice a day, so the gaskets don’t dry out and leak.
Sometimes I just do a quick lspci && lsblk on a blank terminal so I can have a draggable, resizeabled privacy screen for my notes or whatever I’m working on. It looks complicated which scares 95% of people away immediately.

$ emacsAt this point my laptop is just my away mission machine and a backup. I do just about all my computing on a desktop PC these days.
My x86 tablet exists almost entirely so I can have a running copy of FreeCAD in my wood shop.
Trying to resize encrypted partitions, sweating bullets because I feel like I’ll fuckup and lose everything.
(Yes I am aware I should backup my data I’m simply a poor idiot lol)
I actually do most of my development work on an old Linux laptop. I do use the shell occasionally, but most of my work is in an IDE and in an editor.
