This along with Bazzite do seem to make SteamOS redundant.
Edit: I read the front of the wiki, this isn’t much like SteamOS, this sounds like it will be good for KDE enthusiasts and OEMs. I’ll give it a try after it cooks more, looks like a great distro for a laptop
Huh, weird. Good luck
Sounds like the driver “broke”. I don’t use Arch, btw. When stuff like this happens with Sid or testing the fix is to roll back the kernel until someone smarter than me updates the driver I need
Or OpenWRT on a thrift store Linksys
Then run it as your user. It’s not best practice but you do you
edit: lol
Is your user in the sudo group? The user transmission should not be
I’m hooked on my brother with a wifi print server now. All three major OS in our house, I just make sure the printer stays updated. Not sure how to print photos, though.
Unstable branch is always Sid, 'cause he’s so unstable. They just changed experimental to rc-buggy.
I know you named Sid, but it’s a rolling release so it never gets a new name.
The drives you’re seeing with the “too good to be true” pricing are what most people call “white label” drives. From what I understand, it’s either refurbished or something that didn’t pass the big-brand QC so they don’t get the brand name. Slap a white label on it and ship it.
WD, Seagate, Toshiba will all have approximate price parity through various levels of HDDs. You can base your shopping on these prices for first quality drives. I like WD. Currently I’m running zfs raidz2 (one parity drive) on four drives. Two are WD, one Seagate, one Toshiba. No problems yet but this array has only been on for 9 months. Prior to that I had a 2-disk striped raid with 2x 4tb WD blue drives and it ran for 8 years without an error.
… I think we do?
truenas: plex/jellyfin, *arr stack
working on another (debian) machine to run nextcloud and immich, plan is to have a failover. Redundant machine would ideally be wake on LAN to save power. I already have commodity hardware for these two identical machines, otherwise I’d probably just go for a more robust single machine.
Mikrotik routerboard out front providing wireguard for one subnet. pi4 providing pihole on the wireguard subnet. This is a new router and I’m very happy with it. This coming weekend the goal is to correctly implement mangle rules (policy based routing) to combine my two WAN connections seamlessly.
So very standard setup for selfhosting with the exception of two ISPs
truenas is easiest to manage through the web service, debian ssh and VNC, mikrotik’s WInBox is just amazing, but it’s also the first “grown up” router software I’ve ever used. It’s so much better than managing PF through a ssh session.
I have it on my SteamDeck right now. It’s my first immutable distro besides SteamOS so I’m not even sure which differences are “steam deck” and which are “bazzite”. One of these days I’ll try it on my gaming machine. I barely play MS Flight Sim anymore and don’t see myself buying 2024. X-Plane can probably scratch that itch now and I don’t play online with anti-cheat so I’ll be able to kill windows. Bazzite will probably be perfect for it because of that immutability. I spend way more time with my laptop, the gaming machine is expected to just work right when I turn it on.
