Great, thanks! If you monitor hardware using powertop, do all devices enter into sleep modes when appropriate? Does the Pixel overheat?

No problems with overheating, so far it's never even gotten uncomfortably warm. Battery life is good enough relative to my old laptop that I haven't bothered checking power usage carefully yet, but here's powertop's output: https://jds.objects.dreamhost.com/powertop.html

Thanks, very valuable info!

Out of curiosity: How's connman working for you? Do you have a GUI for it, or just CLI? Does isync support IDLE? offlineimap has quite a few bugs and I can't wait to change it (I've a very similar mutt+offlineimap+notmuch+opensmtpd setup).

Connman is fantastic. Mind that it is used by Android and Jolla. I'm very happy with it. Super fast and robust, miles ahead wicd, networkmanager or netctl. I use it from the CLI, but there are some QT GUIs around. Isymc doesn't support IDLE, but its fast enough to be able to run it every 2 o 3 min. Ask in the mailing list thou, they had some discussions about implementing it. Check mutt-kz too, soon it will replace m…

I was aware of Jolla using it (I've a Jolla phone), but didn't know about android. That adds some pretty important backing to it.

I don't generally dislike cli, but using I've never felt comfortable using it for networking. I like the popup notifications when I get disconnected, and the very visual menus, for some reason. I'll try to give it a try though.

FWIW, mutt-kz has pretty good notmuch support. At least as much as I've needed.
