@tiphra Oops typo, that should have been 960 EVO M.2.
@tiphra Answer varies based on size, performance and interface: M.2, U.2, SATA, PCI-Express, Optane though its more cache.
Samsung is the big name, I have a 850 EVO SATA and a 950 EVO M.2. You can use pcpartpicker.com to see pricing once you've narrowed it down some. For M.2 there is a big range in performance.
Linux usability hack (XFCE in this case):
You have a touchpad and want to reverse scroll direction on ALL apps, including Qt, to match smartphone behavior:
find the touchpad device ID:
# xinput --list
Logitech Unifying Device. Wireless PID:4024 id=9 [slave pointer (2)]
Do this once when you login:
# xinput set-prop 9 "Evdev Scrolling Distance" -1 -1 -1

"our identity, and in particular our sense of our own goodness, is dependent on being over against someone or something else. We often establish our goodness against someone else’s wickedness and if we are doing that, then it is a case of scapegoating. Why? Because we need the other to be wicked to know we are good and whether or not they are actually wicked is beside the point. We are using others to solidify our identity the same way a community uses a scapegoat to solve its internal conflict"
