Doing the same on Ubuntu myself after trying Bazzite for a couple weeks. Bazzite kept messing up SSSD and would prevent me from authenticating with my home domain.

Will definitely try SteamOS once it is fully released.

But if I have a backup Internet, I have no excuse to be to not work during an ISP provided break time!

Here you go!

I guarantee this was their goal all along. Build up something to have a larger entity come through and buy the company. Wish I had thought of it but I’m not a fan of screwing over the user base.

NPM is awesome until you have a weird error that the web GUI does not give a hint about the problem. Used it for years at this point and wouldn’t consider anything else at this point. It just works and is super simple.

Climate issues have always been pushed down to the individuals. The people are asked to recycle and meanwhile corporations have zero ramifications​for polluting endlessly.

I had an issue recently where my new PC build would not shut down. It would power itself back on on every shutdown immediately.

Checked the bios and found that I had Wake on PCIe (something like that) enabled. Soon as I disabled it, I was able to shut down my PC.

My assumption is that I was shutting down my PC and my monitor still being on was causing my Asus mobo to see it as a turn on event.

Maybe they should focus on it quicker. Surely it cannot be that difficult to build a handheld based on how quickly Steam Deck competition hit the market within, what, a year of the Steam Deck release?

(I’m lazy and did not read the article, only the headline.)

I primarily listen to podcasts when I’m driving, which isn’t much as I work from home. Once I hit my “I need music” I am reminded how extremely happy I have been with SiriusXM for two decades. Octane, for example, is all music with occasional DJ chatting about something music related.

If I load up the app, they have “only music” stations which is just a straight up list of song after song after song.

Not an ad… I genuinely love Sirius Octane! I have found so many new artists I would have never heard on FM radio.

Correct. I’m running two AD DC’s based on Samba, all running on Zentyal. Super simple to install & setup. I them run a VM in Virtualbox on my laptop for the rare occasions I need to use the Windows RSAT tools.

Other than that, all my Linux VM’s, ProxMox hosts & unRAID NAS all set to auth against the Samba DC. It has been working perfectly for over a year now.

I daily drive Debian and use Windows for work. Only have one Windows VM for playing games via Moonlight.

I use an Ansible playbook to do fresh install stuff such as app installs & joining my local Samba AD.

Another option, that I’ve never tried, would be to put your /home directory on another partition. That only solves the settings though and not your app installation bit.

I think I am going to be one of the people buying into Zen 5 but mainly for the longevity of the platform aspect. I’m in the preplanning stage of my next ProxMox server that will be my NAS (unRAID VM), local infrastructure (Samba AD, Adguard, etc.) & Gaming PC via Parsec/Moonlight or plugged directly into the PC with GPU/NVME passthrough to a VM for gaming.

Firewall is on a separate ProxMox host so if the ProxMox host needs a reboot internet will be fine.

I’ve been running OPNsense as a VM in Proxmox for a year on an AliExpress box that doesn’t have ECC. If I might ask, why do you have a requirement for ECC?

Before this box, I ran a Dell R230 with pfSense but got tired of the noise and 40 watt power draw.

I’ve had zero issues without ECC, so I’m just curious about your need for it.
