The only thing for me is that it seems I can't do any data tracking for metered connections like I can on Windows (unless like, @NetworkManager has some secret I don't know about :taz_laugh:)
But I don't know if I "need" to really.
What I will likely need to do is, cursed.
Make a NetworkManager-dispatcher script that basically any time any interface gets brought up or down it checks if the primary network connection is metered or not... and if so it toggled a systemd target unit, of which all my data-heavy tasks (syncthing, nextcloud... urbackup) conflict with.
Metered network? services stop. No longer metered? Start them again.

Like sure it said my signal was horrible, but, there we go, I did no configuration, nothing, not a single thing and I turned off wifi and loaded a webpage. It loaded. Windows figured this one out. What, the, f-
Windows figured this one out. A lot of digging around in network adapter properties later, I found out that ims is just the initial bearer APN.... the actual data APN is VZWINTERNET. Go back to linux, plug that in and holy shit it worked.
Furthermore, I thought the Wi-Fi card in this laptop was Le Basic™️. No, it can do hotspots too!
So now I have 100 GiB of laptop data and 50 GiB of hotspot data for month.
Yes I am 100% putting this thing in my car to make my car a roving hotspot.

So this is on US Mobile mostly because Fuck You, Cheap™️ reasons, on their Verizon network (that's what comes in the laptop and I'd bet it's probably carrier locked). Card is only 3G/4G so it's half useless, but hey, 4G is still 4G.
So NetworkManager's default cell settings think that pwg is the correct APN for US Mobile. I can tell you, for a fact, that it is not (might be for 5G but this isn't). So, after some digging, I was eventurally told that lol actually it's ims. So I plug that in in, it works!..... ish. Gives me an IPv6 but I can't even ping my own router and no connection works. So I set it down, had dinner, came back, turned it back on and.... doesn't work. The fuc- Okay that's odd. Drivers or something?
Well dell don't make Linux drivers for this thing (slightly custom snapdragon X20 iirc), so I booted into windows which, as the first time I've loaded Windows since the SIM even arrived just fucking happily reported that it's connected and I'm good. WTF?!

YES. YES. FUCK YES. THAT'S THE POWER OF PINE-SOL GSM, BABY!
That's the cellular card on my laptop working. And it was a right pain in the fluff too. But hey, it works. Initial speedtest says it's faster than my wifi (with my AP literally across the same room, and it showing my cell signal as 9%)... but doing a yay -Syu shows that it's actually like 2-6 MiB/s vs 36 MiB/s.

Oh by the way @anthropy you'd love/hate (or, apprecihate) the current tech I'm working with
One rugged laptop with swappable M.2 SSDs, fuck dual booting, I have a literal bag of OS installs,
And one rugged laptop that's got a 32 bit single core Intel Cortex chip, 1500 MB of RAM, a dead IDE drive, and the owner wants me to see if I can repair it and get Linux on it.
I don't know which is more cursed: Intel cortex, or tactically reloading my SSD

Welp, Thorn is being a little shit like always.
Just because you can trust him, doesn't mean that he won't try to convince you otherwise, you know.
The only question I have to figure out now, is do I fill in the background and laminate a more traditional badge for this, or do I see if I can make a transparent substrate work to give that glow effect some actual glow appearance?

hey @doskel I've made this 10 times worse.
...new plan: tactically reload the (tactical) laptop.
Let me explain-
The SSD carriers are swappable. NVMe so I don't think they're hot swappable but they're swappable nonetheless.
Take two SSDs. Give them an identical partition table, partition UUIDs, but different OS installs. Make sure the EFI bootloader for each can be accessed at the same path.
Power down laptop. Swap SSDs. Power on laptop. New fucking OS.
FEAR ME.
