So now I’m curious what distro you like most? I’ve been using popos for about a year at this point then tried fedora for about a week and now installed arch to feel around

Get steam-headless running on there

I’m still pretty new to Linux so I break stuff pretty often, like recently I was trying to get opencl working with my amd gpu and I ended up causing every video I played to stutter constantly.

And I’ve been trying out new software to control fans or rgb and following guides making me enter commands until I figure out something that works I note it down so when I do a fresh install again I can easily configure it without all the trial and error etc and install only the software I found that I liked

That plus distro hopping

I usually keep important stuff on my server but things like games and stuff I purge with the fresh install and just download the games I’m actively playing, also helps clear up any issues from installing random junk during the months between as I settle on what programs I like

That’s when you know it’s time for a fresh install

Like seperate articles based off of topics automatically?

I have grav for a super basic site and blog I never update. Its like flat files of text you can just edit i also use cloudflare tunnel for it

I used lidarr to sync my followed artists from spotify and then just use plex and plexamp for music, all my plex users have access to it also but I think most people still have spotify so it’s just mainly me using it

Dang that’s sucks, I never used it but it’s neat in concept

I like popos, mostly after coming from crunchbangplusplus popos just works and I like the easy way of hitting the super key and typing what application I want to launch or switch too, not sure it would do anything for your issue tho

Usually deb or flatpak if you use the popshop

I use Firefox focus so it wipes every thing when I close it

I rather have an email than a browser notification, email is more passive I can check it when I want to and it’ll be there, browser depending on which machine I’m on is going to get wiped when I close it

Yeah I have the lifetime license from before they switched to a yearly subscription, for me as I was pretty new to the whole thing it just made it super simple to get up and running, now I’m setting up dockers in compose so still learning but being able to just go to the community app store and use the templates to get things up and running right away was super nice, and the ability to upgrade drives as you go as well

My coworker recommended me unraid, so I tried it and similarly I was upgrading to a new gaming rig so my old gaming rig became my server. It was a mini itx i7 and I started with two 2tb hard drives then just went from there. Learning all the arrs by following the ‘trash guides’ then expanding out. A lot of trial and error and slowly upgrading drives over time.

Now I’m close to 100tb of data and have several family members using my plex server as their only streaming service plus a ton of personal stuff like rss and audio books etc

So if I had more memory channels it would be better to have say ollama use the cpu versus the gpu?

Was it easy to get something like plex to have it show up correctly? I remember it was a pain to get tubesync to name things in a way that plex accepted it

I’ve been using Tubesync but the pinch one linked looks much cooler and easier

Very cool!

Yeah I’d definitely dual booting while you wet your toes if you want to go full linux, then run a windows vm of you cant find anyway to replace that.

I run a windows vm on my server for my 360 tour and editing stuff but everything else is on my main linux machine now
