  • Things as simple as the wiper motor in every car has some Nexperia parts under shortage. They do many types of components, transistors, diodes, that are in basic electronics. It’s not so simple to replace these parts by other manufacturers because the requirements for automotive parts are difficult to meet (normal operation between -40 and +85 °C, 15 year durability, high humidity, etc) and you must demonstrate these capability on every product to the car manufacturers before you can use a new component in the product.

    This topic is keeping me working minimum 10 hours per day as of lately 🤷‍♂️

    • Set a decently good password (password is required frequently on Linux, so do go overboard with a 40-random-characters-long password, you will regret it)
    • don’t install programs or run scripts from shady sources, prefer to install programs from the Software store (package manager and flatpak)
    • setup a backup system to regularly copy all your files to a separate storage device. This is the way to protect yourself from ransomware but also user errors! Having the possibility to format your drive, reinstall and restore backup in a 1 hour time span is going to give you the peace of mine you need for exploring and experimenting with Linux
