Damn, I’m amazed at how pain-free the whole installation/setup process is. Everything sorta just worked. Though, I’m struggling a bit, trying to make zram service with dinit.

Wow, it’s actually daily driveable? Mind linking me the installation docs, I can’t seem to find em…

By chimera Linux, do you mean the gaming one or this one?

Just curious

Linux has live ISOs. Flash one on a USB stick, boot off of it and mess around. Generally, these days, everything except the fingerprint sensor/facial recognition thing and sometimes wifi adapter will work out of the box.

For desktop CPUs… Higher number = better. That’s it. i5 > i3 > pentium, 11xxxx > 10xxxx > 9xxx… etc. For laptop CPUs… Good luck

I knew it was a /s the moment you mentioned you like valorant… Nobody hates themselves that much

But all of these things, except AutoHDR (coming soon tm) already exist on linux though… Scaling and Freesync, especially haven’t been an issue on linux for a while if you use the right desktop (KDE Plasma or GNOME on wayland)

ngl, if you’re mentally ill enough to like valorant, you should stay on windows /s

It’s a linux distro, just like all other linux distros… Idk what to tell ya

Can’t we at least watch Asahi Lina?

If you hate it so much… why are you on it atm?

I’d strongly recommend against going Intel 13th gen, they’ve had a ton of stability issues and RMAs with 13th and 14th gen chips.

650W is probably gonna be fine, I’d get an 800W if possible, but 650W should be fine.

I’d say to ignore anyone saying “Nvidia is as good as AMD on linux”. Because while that can be true, it comes with a lot of asterisks.

*It can be as good and as stable as AMD if you use the very latest drivers and version of KDE plasma.

Unless you NEED cuda, I’d say avoid Nvidia for linux use…

100% Agree, it feels like most documentation is written in a way that expects you to already know what it’s talking about… When it’s the documentation’s job to teach me about it.

2020 called, they want their opinion back I respectfully disagree

I mean… Bad documentation isn’t specific to selfhosting.

So wait… Since I use both linux and a mac I’m a no life idiot? Yep, checks out.

Benefits:

• Cheap storage that I can use both locally and as a private cloud. Very convenient for piracy storing all my legally obtained files.

• Network wide adblocking. Massive for mobile games/apps.

• Pivate VPN. Really useful for using public networks and bypassing network restrictions.

• Gives me an excuse to buy really cool, old server and networking hardware.

As for things I wish I knew… Don’t use windows for servers. Just don’t.

SMB sucks, try NFS.

Use docker, managing 5 or 10 different apps without containers is a nightmare.

Bold of you to assume I’m a computer scientist or engineer or that I have a degree lmao. I just hate ads, subscriptions and network restrictions, so I learned how to avoid those things. As for resources to get started… Look up TrueNAS scale. It basically does all of the work for you.

Video recorder: OBS

Screenshot utility: built into most desktops

Archive manager: Built into most file managers

There a few things I’ve wanted to try for a while, but haven’t gotten around to it.

AstroJS (I’ve tried it, but only half-arsed)… It’s cool, but the lack of native react support scares me…

Cosmic DE… Still waiting for the alpha.

Python. It’s a good language, I’ve spent some time learning it, I’m just failing to find a use case for it atm.

Textual (Python framework). It’s really cool, but OOP scares me.

Yeah, that’s many people’s impression of it.
