I’m not sure whay the OS you use is, but on linux (debian based) they have a Curl installer that installs their Systemd service preconfigured for your account and the specific tunnel you’re using.

Once that is installed, configuration is pretty easy. Inside their ZeroTrust portal, you will find the options to configure ports.

Always point your tunnel to https://localhost:port or http://localhost:port. You can get a TLS cert from lets-encrypt for your first one. New certifications are issued by cloudflare’s partners regularly to prevent expiration. I think I have like 3 for my domain now? 1 from Lets-Encrypt and a couple from Google.

This could be totally unrelated, but when I first configured my domain, I used DuckDNS as my DNS registrar so I could do everything over wireguard. That’s is still set up and in Cloudflare I still have duckdns included in my DNS registry. Could he worth a shot to set that up and add it to your DNS registry on cloudflare.

I use a cloudflare tunnel, ISP won’t give me a static IP and I wanna keep my firewall locked down tight.

If you’re using an Arch Based distribution and have access to a USB keyboard so you can use standard HID drivers during setup you should be able to follow along on this wiki to use the software included in the ASUS Linux stack. It appears they have some nonsense going on. Tbh I didn’t know about this until looking just now and I’m gonna be going through here and getting the tools I need since I’ve got an ROG mobo I think would benefit

What laptop model?

That’s why mine is slow 😬, I have 3 SSDs and 2 (ancient) HDDs tied into a 5TB lvm array.

It’s cursed ™️

More RAM doesn’t necessarily mean more faster. I’ve got a 64 gig kit in my c2021 ryzen build and it’s dog slow. It’s also my server but that’s not an excuse.

I usually just get my torrents from archive.org… Am I pirating wrong?

This is a bit late since you’ve already gotten rid of it but there IS s Samsung unified Linux driver for printers.

Straight up piracy - probably only like $3k, if we’re including backups of a personal physical media collection well over 20k.

Anyone know if this fixes MSAA? I’m kinda sick of having to override my antialiasing in the Nvidia Xconfig app to force fxaa

AMD drivers are open source and built into the kernel. You should have very little problems with team red on linux. From what I’ve seen the new Intel cards work pretty well too.

Nvidia is known for their problems on Linux.

I don’t even like fedora ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I just thought it’d be easier.

Buddy I’ve got my pronouns in my username please don’t misgender me.

Additionally, your response is needlessly hostile. You’ve offered no additional information and have chosen my comment to be a naysayer on presumably only because it is the top comment on the post. You’ve contributed nothing but vitriol to this thread.

I couldn’t give two shits what distros people use, and I’m not a fucking shill. OP wanted a suggestion, I gave 4. I used tobhse Fedora because it’s easy, with a large community, and with the bleeding edge release cycle the newest libraries became available more easily without enabling testing repositories or using sketchy PPAs that haven’t been vetted.

If OP weren’t noob, and weren’t someone who has already broken a mint install three times I’d have recommended that use something Debian based or Arch based, but they are, so I didn’t.

Historically yes, but this appears to not exactly be the case any longer.

There does appear to be a way to do it, from a cursory glance at the above it seems that Fedora and Windows need to have separate EFI partitions, I’m not all that invested though (I don’t use these distros nor do I dual boot) so I don’t really care to look much deeper.

People seem to love bazzite, is it all its cracked up to be?

I’m happy with my lmde htpc/server/gamingrig/clusterfuck so I’m not planning on changing, but I’ve been in the market for a handheld gaming PC and its been on my list to try.

LMDE (mint sans ubuntu) user here, gaming is a dream, but sometimes a nightmare. You may need eventually to manually update the graphics card driver If you’re on Nvidia, as the debian repos it pulls from are hella out of date. Otherwise, smooth sailing.

You’ll likely only encounter problems on native games, Feral ports specifically seem to assume people have a libraries that they don’t, so I often find myself launching their games in a terminal a million times to figure out what libraries are missing and manually link them or just copy them into the game lib folder.

OP specifically declines to use Linux mint, per their final point in their post. As a 2 decade user who is currently using Mint, OP is right. The windows experience is so handholdey that new users often aren’t familiar with even HOW to research to fix their problems. Mint, a distribution that gives you training wheels but will not hold your hand is not ideal for someone who has already broken it several times, doing activities they didn’t feel were necessary to share.

OP needs an immutable distro.

Based on your last paragraph, you might fall in the supernoob catergory. You’ll want an immutable distribution, you can’t break those Unless you tell it to let you break it.

As a windows user, you’ll find familiarity in Fedora Kionite.

If you prefer a touchscreen oriented experience consider Fedora Silverblue.

There’s a few other options on the page I’m linking, I haven’t tried and therefore can’t recommend either of the others.

Edit 2, electric boogaloo:

OP in your post you state you want Wallpaper Engine to work, unfortunately, you’ll have issues there. Depending on what you’re trying to accomplish with wallpaper engine you may be able to do the same using KDE Plasma. I personally use a VLC command line call to enable animated wallpapers on my rig, there’s not exactly a standard for it on Linux so many of the solutions you find will be clunky. Just remember if you go around messing with your xorg.conf file you need to have a backup of it so you can undo changes easily in a terminal.

You’re welcome to DM me if you need assistance.

Havent needed them in months, I’ve been at 30 days remaining in evaluation period for 3 months.

Please confirm that sleep is configured correctly for your hardware.

Read this article from the Arch Wiki then refer to Section 3 after you’ve familiarized yourself with the content to make the changes necessary.

Many hardware implementations of the various sleep types are borked due to workarounds for the way Windows would prefer to handle sleep. The information in this article should allow you to mitigate this.
