i love the headphone profiles in poweramp!

is cockpit on a server by server basis or can you monitor multiple servers with it?

checkmk user here. i can second the adjustment phase. i tend to ignore my servers but when something goes sideways it’s awesome to have checkmk’s structure in place.

i agree with your points but wanted to mention that binding arbitration is bullshittery that most large companies do by default these days. sign a cell phone contract, streaming/cable service, utility bill, whatever. there’s probably an arbitration clause right in the fine print.

Bazzite for personal stuff because it looked neat and just worked after installation with a small learning curve. Due to interia I went with bluefin on the work computer for the same reasons

Dual booting may be the way to go. Sure Steam, Proton, blah blah but there are so many other launchers and AAA games that are not going to be supported at all (or at least not without a bunch of fiddling). For my own kid, I gave up on Linux ages ago and they have a Wintendo now. I have been daily driving Linux since the mid 90s but I’m also practical when I need to be.

That machine is also isolated on its own VLAN to hopefully reduce the blast radius of whatever garbage it eventually detonates. I make regular backups of it and am ready to repave it at a moment’s notice.

Bazzite, perhaps? I don’t have the dongle but all of my controllers have worked with it out of the box and I have a couple weird ones. It’s gaming focused so you might have some luck with it.

Also as others have said: xone.

Kept my parents’ desktop running for 14 years with Debian, XFCE, and the occasional hardware replacement. Maybe a bit of a PC of Theseus scenario but it worked pretty great.

this is absolutely incredible. thank you so much!

I have been looking for something like this for ages. Wish it could be integrated into freetube and newpipe. Thanks for sharing!

I have been using the hell out of bazzite for the last few weeks and I’ve really enjoyed it. There have been a couple of minor bugs but otherwise everything just generally works.

I’ve enjoyed it so much that I’ve also installed bluefin on my work laptop.

Not OP but:

• on a desktop it’s defaulted to desktop mode. I’m unsure about the steam deck.

• you choose. KDE or GNOME. Budgie is being worked on.

• lutris can install your windows executables. Bottles is available too.

The only games I’m unable to play so far have been AAA games with unfriendly anticheat. ProtonDB helps here.
