That’s amazing!

I get it, I actually use the exact same distros you mention: Pop!_OS, Endeavour and Fedora.

Had the same experience with Pop!_OS: those few things that did not “just work” but needed tinkering caused quite some issues. And yeah, somewhat more bleeding edge than Ubuntu LTS is nice: to use neovim on the 22.04 base, I’d need to use distrobox or build vim from source, but on Fedora and Arch, it “just works”.

I liked Endeavour, though I haven’t really used it with a DE, I went with Sway. So hard to compare, but the manual sysadmin intervention everyone keeps talking about has been minimal. AUR is amazing, pacman is fast and sane.

I went to Fedora because it is bleeding edge enough, but seems better tested and more stable than Arch. Also wanted to see how BTRFS is setup on there and test the rollbacks. The codec stuff has been terrible though. Even after enabling RPMFusion and installing a bunch of them, the Fedora source Firefox still refuses to do video calls in MS Teams. I’m using Flatpak browsers now but downloading flatpak updates is way slower than even the worst package manager for “native” binaries. Feels a bit odd to have to use a Flatpak for the browser.

If I had to install a new pc today, I’d go EndeavourOS with KDE (which I’m using on Fedora now), BTRFS and systemd-boot. I got to know systemd-boot in Pop!_OS and have tried a different boot manager (rEFInd), but systemd-boot is amazing.

Genuine question: what is it about Fedora that keeps you coming back? I have also used Debian based and Arch based distros, as well as Fedora.

Wayland Nvidia compatibility will be here soon™ Nvidia drivers needed explicit sync, which was not supported in Wayland. However, explicit sync has been merged into the Wayland protocol and should be here shortly. Gnome 46.1 already ships with it.

I do not understand fully but maybe drivers need a bit of configuration too to use this? I’m not sure of all the steps but it should be here soon

I know what they mean, but: I run an immutable Linux distro on my phone that is maintained by Google. I’m sure more than 0.01% of Europe does the same.

I guess “FLOSS phone” doesn’t have the same ring to it as “Linux phone”

That’s awesome! Well you won’t need to expect WMR updates for Windows anymore, firmware or otherwise. I didn’t know WMR worked with Monado. Does it do 6 degrees of freedom tracking?

Same here, on a Reverb. The only “upgrade path” that could take me to Linux is the announced Bigscreen Beyond at about €2k for a set. Pure SteamVR means it works great on Linux. Every other headset is a sidegrade at best. Even the Valve Index doesn’t have the sheer pixels the Reverb G2 has. I neeed the pixels for flight sims

Ubuntu 18.04 is end-of-life since Spring 2023. VS Code is going to require a newer version of glibc than Ubuntu 18.04 comes with. One does not simply upgrade glibc.

This new requirement was announced 6 months in advance, but no one reads the changelog, and enough companies still use Ubuntu 18.04 (hopefully while paying for the Extended Security Maintenance), so many people were surprised and unhappy when their VS Code stopped working for remote development over ssh on Ubuntu 18.04 servers. VS Code installs and runs stuff such as language servers on the remote machine.

EndeavourOS is easy-mode Arch. You get a liveboot with XFCE and a graphical installer with quite some choices, from a wide selection of desktop environments and window managers to the init system and filesystem. You get pacman and yay, with the AUR preconfigured.

Manjaro is the easiest way to break Arch. It has its own repos which are just Arch but 2 weeks behind. This causes problems when (not saying if) you add the AUR, which is not 2 weeks behind but in sync with Arch main repos. Thus causing breakages due to migrations not happening at the same time.

Garuda is not as widely used as Endeavour and Manjaro, but from those who’ve used it, I’ve only heard good things.

I am using EndeavourOS Sway Community Edition. Was nice to have a starting point for my first pure WM and my first Arch install. The Sway Community Edition is looking for maintainers but I am a bit disappointed by some things in upstream Sway and am not sure I want to stick with it long-term yet. Might try Hyprland at some point.

Are you running for a seat in the European Parliament next year?

So if gut bacteria have a serious influence on the brain’s behavior, does that make us cyborgs driving a mech?

That makes a lot of sense. I will set up Tailscale first then.

What’s the effective difference security-wise between just opening a port and using a tailscale funnel to proxy the traffic on that same port?

Thanks for the advice all, just bought an 8th gen i3 NUC (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM) to play around with Proxmox and VMs. Going to start off with migrating Home Assistant and then set up a Lemmy instance, and perhaps a static website too.

Thanks, this is what I am using now for Home Assistant, but overall it’s a bit expensive for the power you get with a Pi4.

You’re right, just having one mini-pc with Proxmox and being able scale VMs between applications is a lot better than a collection of sbc’s. I will look at the used market.

Thanks, I (of course after posting this) stumbled upon this discussion: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/114723

Seems like storage use is quite intense, and RAM usage exceeds the 150MB that the docs mention too. For storage, I would probably try to use a cloud option (AWS S3?) to prevent having to replace/add disks all the time.

Although it’s starting to look like more and more of a hassle and not that much benefit so far.
