As an Android flavour it should be safe after uninstalling all apps associated with the university. Did any of them need a “device owner” permission? That’s the only way to be more persistent on Android without root access.

The mobile and TV clients are often limited to the codecs with hardware acceleration. Or just selecting a lower bitrate on the client will cause transcoding.
The FS feature is great, it’s just cumbersome to use without a tool.
Snapper works well for a local backup like history both against botched updates and accidental deletion, but eats up the free space with the default settings.
Timeshift is an easy to use GUI but doesn’t support non-default partitions.
Also the quota support had a nasty side effect: freezing the whole system on snapshot deletion.
Do I need to disable compression on my swap subvolume?
Short: No
Long: it doesn’t matter when mounting multiple subvolumes of the same btrfs partition the options from the first one (usually /) will apply to all. So even if you disable it, that will be ignored.
The old way of creating swap shows the chattr +C line which disables CoW. The same method should work for your Downloads folder since CoW is needed for snapshotting.
He’s looking for quite recent Amd based laptops which all support win 11, so I would actually expect the prices to increase with the higher demand.
You’re right, I linked an old article and it should have been fixed, but there are newer reports of remaining issues. But even this should be fixed in your kernel version already so it was probably a bad guess.
There were issues with TPM so that might affect the older bios versions. You could try disabling it.
No, there isn’t any more risk buying a mining card than any other used card. In both cases you should use a platform/marketplace with buyer protection options. Maybe one additional step is checking the VBIOS when testing.
The non XT is the best value of the 6600 family but depending on local pricing the 6600XT, 6650XT and even the 7600 could make sense. Just keep in mind that these are the same performance class. Some charts show the mentioned GPUs.
There are some used options e.g. 5700 XT-s are really cheap because many of them were mining card. For new cards there aren’t many options RX 6600 has relatively good value, but it’s only worth it if efficiency or features like hw video codecs are important for you.

Filesystem permissions
For many apps it is not an issue and provides additional security but in other cases it’s very annoying and not trivial to fix.
Example1: opening a .docx from Thunderbird flatpak with OnlyOffice flatpak does not work out of the box.
Example2: mpv and VLC flatpaks work well for local files, but fail to open network shares from Dolphin.
I think a possible solution would be runtime permission dialogs when denied access.
It is not necessary but still better to run both online discard and batched fstrim. from man:
Also, a device may ignore the TRIM command if the range is too small, so running a batch discard has a greater probability of actually discarding the blocks.
I’m not 100% sure, but for me it caused a similar “freezing” or unresponsive experience when the daily cleanups run in the morning. If there was a freeze after every (even short) sleep and resume that might be a different issue.
Yeah it’s disappointing that such an annoying bug is still present and quotas are enabled without warnings. You could continue using Timeshift, the only feature quotas provide is the individual disk usage of the snapshots.

What did you use to manage snapshots? For e.g. timeshift enables quotas and that can cause freezes when deleting old snapshots.
I would expext to see Frore’s cooling solution in gaming phones soon. And if they develop an even smaller version some mainstream phones could include them too.
That’s more than enough. You can’t do any more.
