Only if you do something they don’t like, or generate way too much traffic.

I’ve been using it responsibly just fine for 5 years.

Cringe.

I strongly suggest you read this book regarding normal people.

GOG has an affiliate partnership with Heroic Games Launcher already.

Normies hate choice.

The computer is just an annoying medium they have to interface with to get to email and Facebook. They don’t want options, they want consistency. This is why apple is popular, it appeals to this strong desire.

This is why win10 ltsc is the better choice.

Hmm yes, I can now trust random people on the internet to provide me DNS and hope they are not logging my DNS lookups or feeding me poisoned DNS resolves.

what could go wrong

Distrobox allows you to run an ‘os’ container essentially to install things in, then blow away when you’re done or no longer have a need. Its mostly used for mara messy programs or projects that you don’t want littering your main OS.

…well shit.

edit: that being said, duckDNS has not changed in a LONG time, so Inadyn will work for duckdns fine. May need other solutions with evolving platforms like No-IP or Cloudflare as this begins to age out if no one forks it.

For dynamic updating of dns, don’t use ddclient or cron scripts on the server. Instead use inadyn.

Ddclient is more or less just dead/maintenance mode.

also using cron scripts kinda sucks and is ugly.

just use inadyn and spare yourself headache.

You’d basically just add something like this to the inadyn.conf file

provider duckdns.org {
    username         = YOUR_TOKEN
    password         = noPasswordForDuckdns
    hostname         = YOUR_DOMAIN.duckdns.org
}

Use mpv player like a normal person and stop chasing weird ui things

They get Windows because I’m not being paid to support their setup

Ganeti development is more or less dead. If you look at the github repo, it hasn’t seen a notable release in 4 years. All that’s been done is a small bugfix patch two months ago by the community.

The project being based on Haskell code also makes it less attractive for new devs.

As an American, Americans are strangled by Microsoft.

Microsoft doesn’t actually care because most of their revenue is from corporate environments tied to the OS and their cloud offerings. Everyday users are nothing to them, which is why they don’t try harder to keep you from using unactivated copies of windows. You are nothing

Forking Linux and continuing to do that instead of up streaming is a massive task, especially as time goes by and code similarities drift. It’s much better to upstream. This is why fortune 500 companies contribute to the Linux kernel.

The old guard in the Linux kernel have a real stick up their ass against anything not C, despite Linus himself advocating that rust drivers should at least be looked at. It’s turned off a lot of new blood doing projects like Asahi because they don’t have upstream support so the burden of the project is much too great for a hobbyist endeavor for something that should otherwise be fun and mentally engaging.

Ah yes, arch but fascist.

pass

Just straight up Bazzite to be honest.

Fedora by itself is too Puritan for stuff not fully foss in their default repos

If only Linux devs weren’t so toxic against rust that it drove out talent that was working on Asahi Linux for these devices :V

Vaxry is still pretty ableist, I think he’s just better at hiding it now. https://mastodon.social/@acidiclight/115348200226656321

Pipewire-pulse provides compatibility to programs that may not directly support pipewire yet.

Pipewire was developed to be a total drop in replacement to the Pulse audio sound server. It has compatibility layers that allow other things to talk to it.

Edit: debian is not showing pipewire-alsa as a hard dependency of pipewire https://packages.debian.org/trixie/pipewire
