Great battery life and linux unfortunately are a hard task and linux support is often spotty for consumer devices.
Sticking to used business hardware is usually a good start, but you should check for compability issues nonetheless.

Used t490 / t480. Can you elaborate on the “heavy limited by space”?
No I’m not catastrophising.
2024 is going to be the beginning of the end of us all
Yeah, I don’t know about that.
CPU cycles depend on the instruction set of the hardware. This would also require compilation without any optimization to avoid even software dependency.
Yes, you can consider the algorithmic complexity of your code, which is independent of any hardware.
I can’t quite figure out what would be the use cases where bcache would excel, except for hdds without cache or systems with very limited ram. Can you help me out with that?
Hmm the prices on eBay really don’t seem that good to me in comparison to newer generations. I guess the power consumption will eat up any savings pretty quickly. Though this might differ for whole sets.
What do you need a dedicated GPU in school for?
That’s a bad comparison. Without a lock you can just open the door from the outside.
If you rent a VPS that might get you kicked, so check your terms first.
You’re having way too many thoughts about this. I’ll give you a simple choice: It’s either Xubuntu or Linux Mint.
Simply choose by which one looks better to you. Done.
In a year you can look back at your post and decide again if there is anything you want to change or you’re in dire need of a Linux hobby and Gentoo is all you’ve ever been looking for.
That’s a horrible recommendation!
It’s so easy to change instances, and there are extensions and things to export/import your subscriptions, etc.
Hmmm
Imho that’s a horrible idea. A large part of content on the instance I’m on has become bots just reposting news articles without any own contribution, no discussion, nothing.
Of course it’s not about centralisation per se, but the problems that a centralised platform does not have to deal with.
I’d be interested to know what kind of media El Pais is by your judgement.
