  • Personally I use corporate-like naming scheme for my devices, the format is:

    [AABB-CCCC-DDEE]

    AA: Location of the device - HQ (home), CL (cloud).
    BB: Role of the device - HV (hypervisor), SV (server), NW (network) and workstation (WS).
    CCCC: Device brand (for NW), application running (for SV), and workstation purpose (for WS).
    DD: For server and workstation - OS running on the device (WN=Windows, LX=Linux, MA=macOS). For network device - their role on network (RT=router, AP=access point, SW=switch).
    EE: # of the device, year of purchase for WS.

    For example, here’s my router, KASM server and my gaming PC hostnames:

    HQNW-UBNT-RT01
    HQSV-KASM-LX01
    HQWS-GAME-WN16
    

    Still trying to optimize this naming scheme, like removing all the dash, but currently too lazy to do it lol.


  • It was okay on my old T460 which only has 56% of its original capacities. Got about 1.5hrs with sys-* and personal/work VM running. For me it’s a tinkerer distro rather than privacy distro, because every time I use my laptop, I tend to find new problems haha. Oh also it sucks when connecting to public WiFi with captive portal.
