Went not just disable automatic updates? Update when you have time for it.

Yes it does. If you cannot generate electricity at home, all those points are moot.
Most people in the world cannot put solar panels on their roof today. Even if you exclude all the places people don't own cars I still think my statement will be true.
I found almost no resources for this but it was mostly plug and play.
One thing I can suggest is keep everything same brand. My laptop has an Nvidia gpu built in and I tried using amd gpu without success. Spent about a week on it and tried various combination of drivers and settings. Nvidia just works.
Also Intel gpus require rebar enabled which almost none of the laptops support so I did not really consider them even though they were super attractive because of pricing.
The way I use it is set prime-select to Intel2 which disables built in Nvidia gpu and then I activate external gpu after login by running nvidia-smi as root after login. Then you just launch apps you want to use Nvidia gpu with
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia command_name arguments
Nvidia works great on Wayland. Even unusual configuration I'm running with egpu hooked up to a laptop with another Nvidia card built in. Zero issues. I'm allergic to Gnome, but KDE works beautifully.
Horrible battery. Doesn't last even close to a full day. 18:00 here and my phone is at 6%. Will be dead in <1 hour. Was fully charged at 8:00. Typical use. I don't play games on my phone.
What's worse is it takes forever to charge compared to OP. 20W max. Wireless charging is only useful overnight. Takes like 6 hours.
Constant, fucking Bluetooth issues. I mean constant. There's a bug with Samsung watch so every time I answer the phone caller cannot hear me until I cycle through speakers. Even without watch connected you never know which BT device will connect when answering the phone (if any.) Sometimes nothing at all works. My personal favorite is it will sometimes randomly switch to a different BT device mid call. I'll be on headset and will suddenly start hearing the call through my watch.
Android auto works like shit. Wired is sort of tolerable, wireless barely works. Interrupting audio, constant disconnects or just refusal to connect.
Absolute shit reception. I didn't think it was possible to have worse reception than iphone, but pixel is so much worse.
Overall 3/10. Love the spam call filtering and camera, but rest is my worst experience with a phone ever.
P. S. I'm down to 4% while I typed this message. Fuck pixel. Buy something else.

My argument is it is wrong tech because of current state of development of batteries. Slow charging, low energy capacity, heavy weight, using dangerous chemicals, etc.
I'm one of those people - I have an EV, but I wish I had a hybrid that has a tiny, light battery for ~50 miles of city driving I can charge at home and a proper size hydrogen tank I can use to travel as far as I want.
I stand by my argument that we should have invested heavily in hydrogen cars and infrastructure. Batteries will inevitably make it into cars as their development progresses. They are just not the right tech now.
