Told you like 5 times…disable…steam-input…then

What made this distro distinctive, and for what features?

Okay, so that’s not what you’re describing at all. You can tell because people are responding with information, and you keep introducing trusts and turns like we’re supposed to know WTF you’re even talking about.

Here’s how a gamepad works under Linux normally in a very simplistic way:

Kernel > udev > HID Gamepad > libinput > game

Where libinput sanitizes the input from the device and handles mapping. What you’re saying you’re doing is messing with permissions on the input device for some reason (which is unnecessary by any normal means), and then wondering why it’s not working.

You’re saying your stack is functioning correctly for everything but Steam+Sunshine, right? You were told previously that steam-input runs when Steam runs. It essentially overrides libinput when running. THEN you’re throwing Sunshine into the mix, whiches uses it’s own input library as well, and you’re wondering what the issue is here.

I’ll say it again, because you’re not listening: if everything works fine without Sunshine running, Sunshine is the problem. Libinput+steam-input+inputtino is going to cause problems. You’ve been told this before multiple times.

Now, if everything is broken without Steam OR Sunshine running at all, then you have a libinput problem because you’re just running Sway without all the helpers that any usual DE would have, but you keep arguing against that idea for some reason, and I don’t think you understand what you’re even saying. On a normally functioning system, you don’t mess with permissions on /dev devices. If something isn’t working as you expect, you have issues downstream.

So either start looking at your input library issues as you’ve been told a dozen times, or maybe boot a LiveUSB and see if everything works as it should without you messing with things.

Just change the port Headscale is running on.

You also don’t want a reverse proxy out in front of Headscale. It doesn’t serve a purpose, and does nothing but introduce added complexity and performance degradation.

Just make an A record in your DNS that points to ‘vpn.whatever.com’ if you just want to treat it as a named host.

Sunshine IS the problem. You’re describing it yourself. If everything else works but Sunshine…then guess what, dawg?

Duder…asked and answered.

You’ve asked the same question on a bunch of different servers and threads. You’ve been told what the issue is.

By creating new posts everywhere I don’t think you’re going to get a better answer than what you’ve been given.

If you just want things to work, just switch to something else. Nothing stopping you.

They have Open Source versions of their stack. Just run it yourself at no cost.

Am I missing something?

Also, use any other similar service which all have open source counterparts: Head scale/Tailscale, or ZeroTier.

Any RSS reader will work with RSS feeds. It’s an open standard.

For starters: Rails, PHP, and passthrough routing stacks like message handlers and anything that expects socket handling. It’s just not built for that, OR session management for such things if whatever it’s talking to isn’t doing so.

It seems like you think I’m talking smack about HAProxy, but you don’t understand it’s real origin or strengths and assume it can do anything.

It can’t. Neither can any of the other services I mentioned.

Chill out, kid.

HAProxy is not meant for complex routing or handling of endpoints. It’s a simple service for Load Balancing or proxying alone. All the others have better features otherwise.

I’ll be honest with you here, Nginx kind of ate httpd’s lunch 15 years ago, and with good reason.

It’s not that httpd is “bad”, or not useful, or anything like that. It’s that it’s not as efficient and fast.

The Apache DID try to address this awhile back, but it was too late. All the better features of nginx just kinda did httpd in IMO.

Apache is fine, it’s easy to learn, there’s a ton of docs around for it, but a massively diminished userbase, meaning less up to date information for new users to find in forums in the like.

It’s called a Reverse Proxy. The most popular options are going to be Nginx, Caddy, Traefik, Apache (kinda dated, but easy to manage), or HAProxy if you’re just doing containers.

Drivers and such are fine. Performance and such…meh.

They still don’t come close to AMD, and the price isn’t quite distinct enough for people to be drawn from there. Intel is also in the midst of this shakeup with Nvidia injecting cash into the business, and have said they plan to release Intel+Nvidia APU chips to compete with AMD, but that’s not anytime soon.

If they found a good deal on a card, the benchmarks are decisive enough (check Phoronix) at the price point, and they don’t plan on keeping it for 5 years, then sure.

If they find an AMD that is close in price but a great deal more performance, go AMD.

The KVM is the most likely culprit. Remove it from the equation for awhile and see what happens.

What kind of machine is this? If it’s something like an HP/Dell/Lenovo, it may have a boot blocker enabled somehow. It wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense since you managed to install Ubuntu, but they may possibly be creating different types of boot volumes.

You’d normally see a message like “HP Sure Start” at the boot screen, for example.

If you’re ever present or have remote access to her network, make sure sshd is enabled, and try to SSH into it to see what happens.

Q’s:

1. Is this a laptop or desktop?
2. If Desktop, what kind of cable is the monitor connected with?
3. See if you can get dmesg output (needs to happen during the event, but the machine is still accessible - hence ssh above)
4. Does the monitor have its own power saving settings?

You don’t. That comment was misinformed. No idea where they heard that from.

We’re all running high performance games through the same thing all the time now. Benchmarks best Windows in most cases.

You’ll be more than fine.

Wine, Bottles, Lutris…etc

Edit: this was a different kind of solution someone else sent me: https://medium.com/@pascalwhoop/how-to-get-lightroom-running-on-linux-with-webassembly-and-nativefier-a69dd9d9f647

First: there is no cheap way to back this amount of data up. AWS Glacier would be about $200/mo, PLUS bandwidth transfer charges, which would be something like $500. R2 would be about $750/mo, no transfer charges. So assume that most companies with some sort of whacky, competing product would be billed by either of these companies with you as a consumer, and you can figure out how this is the baseline of what you’ll be getting charged from them.

50TB of what? If it’s just readily available stuff you can download again, skip backing that up. Only keep personal effects, and see how much you can reduce this number by.
