On Windows, I used to install stuff using winget install whatever.

Waiting for the MS Store to load was a freaking anxiety needle injected into my veins. Unacceptable.

Bazaar on the other hand, it’s glorious. Blazing fast. So, I go with a GUI.

Also, there are tools like pandoc, ghostscript, caddy, imagemagick, and a gazillion others that are very powerful and quicker to do their job than waiting for a GUI to load.

And then, sometimes, there’s just no other way. Maybe it’s part of installing or updating something, or stuff like that. But a casual will either wait for a GUI, or just not do that.

I don’t think using the terminal is aspirational, it’s practical and it’s value is clear.

AFAIK Proton-GE uses VLC and Valve is from the US, where VLC is considered to breach some codec licenses I believe h264 decoding in particular. But I’m not sure, it’s been a long time since I’ve read about it.

Damn. It was supposed to make it even easier. What issue did you have with it?

Which one ? The one it had up until a few months ago ? I haven’t tried the new one yet.

This. Capy Reader is the best for me.

I’ve also tried:

• Feedflow
• PodAura
• ReadYou
• Feeder

I would go with Aurora or Fedora Kinoite. Atomic + KDE is unbreakable and easy for Windows casuals.

The only thing I dislike about Aurora is the illustrations baked into the distro. SDDM & Bazaar have them and can’t be changed. But it’s a freaking awesome distro.

I use it daily on my work laptop through an external USBC M2 NVME caddy. Today I had to move to a new work laptop and I just plugged it to the new one and that was it, my OS and all my stuff on my new work laptop in just a few seconds. No downtime. No drivers to update. Nothing.

The laptops have their factory Windows untouched. No warranty is void. IT is happy and I get to use Linux at work.

Plus, I can plug the drive to my home desktop PC running Bazzite and open files as if it was a regular thumbdrive.

This setup makes me so happy.

To fix the missing videos, use Proton-GE. Easiest method: Download it with Proton-up QT (bundled with Bazzite) then chose Proton-GE from the game’s Steam compatibility settings.

It’s because they use proprietary codecs that Valve can’t freely distribute.

I don’t understand how Bazzite didn’t work. But hey, I’m glad you found success anyway.

Sure, but it’s well earned. The rest doesn’t do shit. When Microsoft dominated, they made things worse.

Idk about Matterhorn though

This is awesome, I want it. But it’s way beyond my technical level. I wish there was a Proxmox helper script.

Yeah, I absolutely agree with your POV. I guess you could post there anytime your question could be applied to a homelab.

Absolutely, the selfhosted communities are full of networking pros.

Every FOSS project:

• Discord
• Github

How does it compare to roundcube?

I hope they add JMAP.

Minecraft (Java) with Mods

I bet they know they can’t do anything other than a Deck with no screen if they don’t want it to fail like the SC1.

I can’t remember the last time a game made me intentionally laugh. I laughed my ass off about situations, bugs, but… scripted comedy?

Maybe a smile, a faint giggle, but actual laughter? I can’t remember.

Does gadgetbridge integrate with home assistant?

I would love to see the dashboard there.

It’s being developed by igalia, which is top notch. I’ve tried it on Bazzite, the available builds require no installation. It’s coming together very well.
