Took apart my Gazelle from #System76. The battery was swelled, so took it out and working on wall power for now. I will get a new one later on.
Put a second NVMe too. Got a 500G one put in the second slots and setup in the /etc/fstab.

It’s one thing to talk about theoretical warp speeds in a review, but it’s another to actually sit in the captain’s chair, […]
That's a great question - I imagine they would want "their say" in the matter - so certainly would not surprise me.
But that's something I'll need to look into - as I'm also curious.
