You had me at "No Java".

  • jellyfin didn't like when files used periods instead of spaces.

At least that can't be the problem since my entire library (except music) uses periods instead of spaces.

Then again, I spent quite some time organizing my library when I first started using Radarr and Sonarr. Ever since those manage my library I had no issues in Jellyfin.

Wow, I haven't used Plex in years but this reads like some Windows 11 installation guide with all those checkmarks and hidden options.

I thought the human operators only step in when the emergency button is pressed or when the car gets stuck?

Do they actually get driven by people in normal operation?

Hardware MIGHT be controlled by signal RGB

OpenRGB to the rescue: https://flathub.org/apps/org.openrgb.OpenRGB

controlling the pump in my AIO?

What do you need to control about your pump? I sure hope it works without OS support.

Or the sound levels on ny headset?

Move the volume slider up or down?

Or the DPI in my mouse?

Save them to the mouse as profile if it can or use Piper: https://flathub.org/apps/org.freedesktop.Piper

in AMD you lose access to certain features like AMFM2

FSR Frame Gen works just fine, not sure why you need fake frames in more games.

the FOSS solutions are not industry standard, so sure, I can learn to use LibreOffice, but that's worth absolutely nothing when you apply for a corporate job and they expect you to know how to use outlook as a bare minimum

There is also OnlyOffice and online MS Office. Not sure what you need to know about Outlook to open it and use your eyes to read the mails.

even the Google office suite is being adopted faster

Good news, it runs in a browser and works on every OS!

Ah, but if the software is available there's still a chance it doesn't work because it's missing a dependency or something and you have to ask people to use the terminal and... Sigh

I have not fixed dependencies issue on Linux since the early 2000s. Flatpaks are your friend https://flathub.org/ .

All in all, it's just behind in many ways, sure, for some people it's ok, and for laptops I'd think is mostly ok, great even.

I run it on my high end PC and I disagree. It's ahead in many ways.

  • The graphics drivers are included and don't need any bloated software to work
  • It has a banger OpenGL driver, which makes games like Minecraft run significantly faster.
  • It has a very active community for game support for games where the developer does not care
  • It translates older DirectX versions to Vulkan automatically, resulting in a performance uplift and more stability. People on Windows are installing DXVK just so older games work. Look up DXVK in the Steam forums.
  • It downloads shader caches from Valve, preventing shader stutter in games that don't do it on their own

That list could go on for a while and it's only for gaming.

I haven't even gone into installation and not having to run ShutUp10 every time just to make the OS usable. Or how KDE is so much cleaner than Windows. Or how I don't have any ads in my start menu, don't have to force download Candy Crush on first boot, don't have pre-installed apps I can't remove, don't have to block my own OS in its firewall to get rid of telemetry, don't have to be told that I need to upgrade to Windows 11 constantly.

For work: Docker just works, complex networking setups are not a pain to setup, creating VMs is so much easier and has so many more features. VPN is so seamlessly setup. I can read almost every file system on the planet and use ROCm without jumping through hoops. Not to mention I don't get Copilot and Recall shoved down my throat.

Are there issues on Linux? Sure, lots of them. But if I find them I can tell somebody about it and don't have to deal with them for centuries.

I'm rooting for Steam OS to release to desktops because my living room PC is LITERALLY just for gaming, so that "could" work nicely.

SteamOS is just a modern Linux distro with Steam pre-installed and in autostart. If stuff works there, it works on regular Linux just as well.

Bazzite achieves the same thing right now: https://bazzite.gg/

Why not install Linux for them once Windows 10 is dead?

They are a prime candidate for a dead simple Linux distro with the "Web", "Mail" and "Documents" shortcuts on the desktop and nothing else. Can't get a virus, can't get scammed by fake Microsoft support and most won't even notice.

I have installed Fedora Kinoite for my mom and have had zero complaints.

Your best shot is with Monado, which supports the Rift S: https://monado.freedesktop.org/

I only have an Index, so I can't speak for how well it works or how easy it is to setup.

MQA was so weird, replacing a perfectly fine lossless open codec that plays on everything with a proprietary lossy codec that plays on barely anything. Also, so many people suddenly telling you that MQA sounds better than FLAC.

I once wrote a downloader for Tidal and always "downgraded" to 16-bit FLAC when I detected the "high quality" version is in MQA format.

Copying from an older comment of mine:

IPv6 is pretty much identical to IPv4 in terms of functionality.

The biggest difference is that there is no more need for NAT with IPv6 because of the sheer amount of IPv6 addresses available. Every device in an IPv6 network gets their own public IP.

For example: I get 1 public IPv4 address from my ISP but 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696 IPv6 addresses. That’s a number I can’t even pronounce and it’s just for me.

There are a few advantages that this brings:

  • Any client in the network can get a fresh IP every day to reduce tracking
  • It is pretty much impossible to run a full network scan on this amount of IP addresses
  • Every device can expose their own service on their own IP (For example: You can run multiple web servers on the same port without a reverse proxy or multiple people can host their own game server on the same port)

There are some more smaller changes that improve performance compared to IPv4, but it’s minimal.

My unifi kit can convert us to IPv6 but I’m hesitant without knowing what devices it will break.

You don't usually "convert" to IPv6 but run in dual stack, with both IPv4 and IPv6 working simultaneously. Make sure your ISP supports IPv6 first, there is little use to only run IPv6 internally.

I finally got IPv6 working in Docker Swarm...by moving from Docker Swarm to regular Docker.

Traefik now properly gets IPv6 addresses and forwards them to the backend.

With the latest release of android it now supports some Linux functionality.

Wait, it does? Gonna have to check that out.

Reminder that Blender is struggling with funding right now. https://topicroomsvfx.com/news/the-price-of-free-blenders-funding-crisis/

Make sure to leave it a few bucks if you use it. https://fund.blender.org/
