Hey, sorry I didn’t reply until now but life has been pretty hectic and I also kinda borked my streaming VM right at the same time as I wrote that. I ran Nobara Linux for a while with KDE on Xorg and it actually worked pretty well. Then I decided I wanted to give Bazzite a try but I didn’t like the whole immutable thing. I went back to Nobara just to find that Steam Remote Play straight up didn’t work and I couldn’t know if I had failed to set up something properly or Valve just broke it while I was “away”. A couple of days ago I decided to just abandon Remote Play for the time being and deployed Games on Whales and it seems very promising so far. Much easier than fiddling with VM:s and GPU passthrough and Sunshine/Moonlight has never failed me.

I run a gaming Linux VM on my server and it works fine.

Odd jobs, here and there.

Future-proofing with ext4? Come on.

I’ve done this for years and it works great.

Thanks for the tip but Mesa is not in the backports repo.

Incredible.

Why would an OEM need to buy a Windows license if the customer has no interest in using Windows?

Windows optimized for anything seems to be pretty much impossible.

Mostly not at all but sometimes I want to try some new features and that’s when it gets annoying. Right now, I’d like to try passing encoding capability from my APU to a VM I’m hosting but it requires Mesa 23 and Debian is on 22.

I run Debian on my server and while it’s sometimes annoying how old a lot of packages are, it’s ridiculously stable.

I ran Manjaro happily for a while because I was scared of the Arch installation process. A couple of years ago, though, an update broke my system. By then, the archinstall script had come along so I tried installing Arch with that and I haven’t looked back.

Well, obviously!

If i couldn’t use Linux at work, I would just quit.

This can usually be fixed by using GE-Proton.

VNC is a graphical tool to show a desktop GUI and is far from needed to show the contents of the filsystem. Do you even have a GUI installed on it and, if it’s supposed to act as a server, why would you want to?

The nice thing about syncing services like Vaultwarden is that all your synced devices kind of act like backups. You should still keep proper backups too, of course, but this makes me sleep a bit better at night at least.
