I'll start this by saying I'm not familiar with either model, but as a general rule, always go x86 when you can. The Intel processor is going to be much better supported. You might get the snapdragon version to run, but it likely isn't supported by mainline Linux.

That being said, touch screen support on Linux is improving rapidly, but still isn't quite there. Make sure you're aware of the user experience before buying so you won't be disappointed.

Also, my unsolicited 2 cents, I would try to avoid buying lenovo. I've had the unfortunate responsibility of fixing a few of their products (an all-in-one and a few laptops, including a new thinkpad) and can confidently say their reliability, and repairability have greatly diminished. They use cheap parts and are in general, poorly designed.

Onshape hands down. Browser based so there's no compatibility issues. It's super easy to use and pretty powerful. Its free for hobbiests (the caveat being your models will be publically accessible). We use it exclusively at work and it's been awesome.

I'd love a good Foss CAD package but there are too many issues with the current ones for me to make the jump.

A (small) part of not putting all your eggs in one basket is also avoiding vender lock-in. Having your personal email with proton, and your password manager with them makes it very difficult to switch in the future if you need to.

On a side note, I use anonaddy (now Addy.io). It allows you to create email aliases on the fly. So when I sign up for a new account somewhere, I generally make up some email like "example@my-account.anonaddy.com" for the email and save that right to bitwarden.

Looks like simplelogin supports the same thing https://simplelogin.io/blog/subdomains/

PS. Using your own domain name is a great way to avoid vender lock-in =)

What printer and nozzles are you using?

Did you damage the thermistor or the heater cartridge during the first nozzle swap? Could be that damage is preventing it from getting/staying at the correct temperature.

Did you double check the slicer settings are correct?

Yeah, my Lemmy client timed out twice trying to upload the photo. Then failed again when I tried using a link. Each time I refreshed it and didn't see a comment, so I figured might as well try again. I noticed the multiple comments but it looks like my client just silently fails when deleting them. I figured it was funny so I didn't try too hard to delete them (ツ)

That's definitely something to be aware of, but the vdev expansion feature was mergered and will be released probably this year.

Additionally, it looks like the authors main gripe is the current way to expand is to add more vdevs. If you plan this out ahead of time then adding more vdevs incrementally isn't an issue, you just need to buy enough drives for a vdev. In homelab use this might an issue, but if OP is planning on a 40 drive setup then needing to buy drives in groups of 2-3 instead of individually shouldn't be a huge deal.

You need to research raid 1,6,10 and zfs first. Make an informed decision and go from there. You're basing the number of drives off of (uninformed) assumptions and that's going to drive all of your decisions the wrong way. Start with figuring out your target storage amount and how many drive failures you can tolerate.
