wish they would say what the “old intel CPU” refers to and which ate the modern ones that don’t need the hack.

I have no idea what this challenge is (I automatically assume it’s some cringe when I read “challenge” also that pic is… what?), but you don’t run Mint/Debian/Ubuntu if you have super-fresh hardware, like AMD 7000-series or Intel 14th gen and so on. in that case you have to go with Fedora or one of its derivatives (Nobara, Bazzite, etc.), because they have the newest kernels that allow this hardware to run OOB.
if you have a bit older hardware (like 2-3 years old), Mint or Debian is your best bet; Ubuntu if you have to, and only as a stepping stone. it’s a solid base and if you use flatpak for everything (Firefox, Chrome, Lutris, Steam, etc.) you won’t have issues with old packages and you’ll get the best of both worlds - stability and supported hardware.
what’s this “probability” based on?
wine exposes the user’s home directory as drive Z: and has full read/write access to it. so, the user’s proper fucked.
edit: I misspoke, Z: exposes the entire root file system, whereas only the /home/user/ has full r/w access.
nothing to share about my setup, but I’ve just checked and I haven’t used finamp on my phone since november last year. reason - Innertune. works phenomenally on the shittiest data plan, haven’t maxed it out once.
do you have the 4K version? latest ATV app and jellyfin server 10.9.6?
just to confirm, you have the 4K version? latest ATV app and Jellyfin 10.9.6?
it’s all directplay, transcoding is disabled server-side and the server logs are the same as when other devices at that location play something. I’ll keep digging.
no 4k content, no transcoding (disabled server side), plain ol’ 264/265 files, no other devices have issues. worked fine for the first day or two. it’s possible there was a system update but I don’t know, latest ATV app.
this one also worked as advertised for the first day or two and started glitching by day three. I’d a appreciate if you could ping back in a couple of days whether it’s still working.

weeell you kinda misrepresented the stated point, creating what’s commonly referred to as a strawman.
the subject isn’t a random sandwich that might or might not have contaminates in it; the subject is a shit sandwich. therefore it’s pointless to argue exactly how much shit is in a shit sandwich, as its essence and genesis preclude it from being considered nourishment.
now there’s copious propaganda out there convincing you it isn’t that bad, lotsa people do it, memba the sandwich from decades ago you loved… but we’re in the wrong community for that.
does it matter how bad it is? does it matter how much shit is in a shit sandwich?
I’m not having it however little there is.
bazzite is fedora based? If so, your filesystem is btrfs and your /home is a subvolume, same as your / (root). you can install a new operating system in a btrfs subvolume (e.g. /blendosroot), then have systemd-boot or grub mount it as root and mount your existing home from it.
sadly, there’s no noob-friendly way to achieve this, but if you’re adventurous, you have enough search terms to make it happen.
oh, you can get away with a 350 W PSU if it’s a good one, like one from a reputable brand. I was mentioning shitty 500 W PSUs as those are ubiquitous practically everywhere and cost next to nothing.
you’ll see if you’re ready to rock when you first turn it on, most of the GPUs have a LED near the power connector. if the PSU is adequate, the light is white. if it isn’t, it’s red.
those are insane prices, I’m very sorry you’re in this position. almost everywhere else in the world, prices are driven down by people upgrading to current tech, like the 7000 series, which thne pushes down used 6000-series which then pushes down used 5000-series and so on, and also there being a plethora of old cards used for mining in the olden days that nobody wants to buy.
apologies for possibly misleading OP, although they didn’t explicitly ask for it.
anyhow, old versions still work for some use cases, with some tweaks being necessary.
unless you’re getting those for free, skip them both and get a RX 570. those can be had in the $50 range. it’s a dramatically better GPU, and it can run off the shittiest 500W PSUs.
as to linux, it’s hella supported in practically every regard, including overclocking and ROCm.
you need a swap file, a swap subvolume, or a swap partition that’s RAM + 50%, on account of zram. then you need systemd scripts that disable zram and enable swap on suspend and do the reverse on resume. also, you need some selinux tuning to allow you to write to said file. you have a detailed howto in Fedora Magazine.
stop using bullshitgpt.
edit: here’s the article.
first off, if you plan to scan the storage for bad “sectors”, that’s gonna take eons if the disk is of any considerable size. what’s more likely is you running the SMART self-test and that will work over any medium.
the cables absolutely can and do cause corruption, whether it’s plain SATA-SATA cables or the USB-SATA with their own controller on it; however, if you don’t have reason to suspect this particular cable/adapter is faulty, it’s not a worry vector per se.
