If I look at the HA log, the thermostat seems to disconnect and reconnect itself every few minutes. Does yours do that? After looking closer at it, I think this is an issue with the Rheem thermostat not staying connected to the home WiFi network.

Also, have you considered wiring in to the thermostat directly to avoid having to use a Rheem account?

Can Strawberry interface with iPods?

This looks really intriguing. Have you installed it on a raspberry pi? I’m having some difficulties and wondering if there are other packages I need to install first.

Using LibreElec, were you able to get any streaming services running like Netflix or YouTube?

I would like a UI I could use with a remote but the wife still needs Netflix so Kodi wouldn’t cut it.

I thought I heard of a Linux distro where your login password decrypts the drive like a Mac does

What’s the advantages of NixOS? Is it really private?

Does Arch have drive encryption integrated? Or do you have to use LUKS like manjaro and decrypt the drive before booting into it?

Is that Chromium based?

How does NixOS compare to SteamOS on the Deck? Does it work just as smooth? Also, is EMUDeck compatible with NixOS?

Is the fact that you’re using a bridge at all apparent to your WhatsApp friends? Or is nothing different as far as they are concerned? Also, does Element have a setting to prevent pictures and video from being automatically downloaded over cellular data?

OK thank you, I think that answers the question for me, I might want to go with something more user friendly to start with. I really like Manjaro but want to get away from all the criticisms its had lately.

how do you think it would be going from Manjaro to Arch? would it be a tough learning curve or fairly simple?

I do want disk encryption enabled, I just find the boot & login process on Manjaro a little clunky and I’ve heard its a little simpler on other distros.

Basically on Mac, your login password decrypts the drive which is what I’m hoping for with a Linux distro, rather than having to decrypt the drive and then log in

Does Arch have built in disk encryption?

I’m on Manjaro but I’m sick of having to unlock the LUKS drive encryption every time I start the computer

It can be a fun project to map out the area you live. I’ve been working on that over the past couple years and it is fun.

Over in Europe, OSM Is much more mapped out in my opinion. It would be good to see North America catch up.

Sure, but graphene OS just has some really thoughtful privacy focused features, and I’m looking for a Linux distro that would have similar features if there is such a thing.

One thing I love about graphene is by default, the MAC address is randomized for every single connection. Also, the Bluetooth can be set to time out and turn off after a certain period of not being used.

Yea I am looking for something a little more general purpose

Does that mean since it comes from Proton’s Github page, then it should be pretty trustworthy? Or at least as trustworthy as getting the apps directly from Proton?
