I've been daily-driving Linux Mint (LMDE 6) on my Thinkpad T14 G1 for almost a year now. At this point, that laptop is easily the most dependable machine I've ever had. My gaming PC is the last remaining Windows machine in my house. Recently I've been making sure everything is backed up (Syncthing is great for this) and finding alternatives for programs that don't have a Linux version.

My plan is to create images of both my SSDs (500GB & 2TB, both NTFS πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ) onto a 4TB hard drive. Then start from scratch, migrating data from the images (Steam games, config files, personal documents I may have missed, etc) when/if I need it.

Tell that to the US citizens that were deported recently for the heinous crime of....having a tattoo.

Medium sized skoda estate that’s a couple of years away from retirement

Oh man, I get that hahaha. My minivan, a 2008 Toyota Sienna, currently has 269k miles (~433,000 km) and I have no plans to retire it any time soon. Luckily we also have a 2015 Toyota Highlander with only ~114k miles on the clock.

So my setup is just a pre made kit snapped on to the base of the headrests and the wiring is hanging freely.

I have to think carefully about how to do something like this and keep it practical and relatively safe from the kids at the same time. πŸ˜…

Yeah, makes sense. I've got 5 kids now.

I can’t imagine the handling is truly that high

Debatable, but agree to disagree.

but I do agree that you found the superior cart.

Indeed

IDK, I kinda like the power pole hovering off in the distance.

Permanently mounted or just something you can strap on?

(heh)

I had a dual screen setup in my former 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan for a cross-country move that took almost week (3 kids including a newborn). I ran a whole ass 4x2 HDMI matrix, with a raspberry pi/hard drive and Blu-ray player, out to two separate displays for the two older kids that could view either source independently. Really trick setup, but it was a cabling nightmare πŸ˜… especially since I had to run an inverter and power strip for a few wallpower-only devices.

I still have the whole setup in a box somewhere. I pulled it all out after the roadtrip, threw it all in a box out of frustration, and never opened it back up.

Also, in reference to this question that I read wrong until just now:

So the media system was there already

My Sienna did not come with any of the factory-optioned multimedia inputs - I added those from junkyard Siennas when I did the inverter retrofit (also from a junkyard Sienna).
