Thank you for the info, I may try that out of curiosity

So, I of course rebooted everything i could, the box hosting my DNS/PiHole, VPN, docker box, etc. However, was remote and couldn’t reboot my modem.

I lowered my MTU on my VPN client config after rebooting my modem, and it’s working.

I don’t fully understand why it worked, but it did.

Maybe something on my ISPs end that wasn’t functioning.

DNS leak test comes back the same mobile data with VPN as it does WiFi with VPN pointing back to DNS reflecting my upstream DNS, Quad9.

Wish I knew how to test/troubleshoot this.

Absolutely, I can connect to the services via IP:Port

I have DNS handled by my PiHole (using unbound as-can upstream DNS)

On my PiHole, I have an A record for the docker box, and then CNAME records pointing to the A name record.

It makes little sense why it works on an offsite WiFi, but not mobile data.

I have used Tempo but I self host Navidrome

Always glad to help! A little kindness goes a long ways!

And glad to hear you got it working, and thanks for the update! I love when people do that. If I ask about an issue online I go back and update with the solution in hopes it helps someone!

The way I see it, Linux is supposed to be open, including sharing of knowledge. I am a big fan of that ideology. Information should be shared. And if I didn’t have folks willing to help me, I’d never have learned all I know. So I try to pass it on!

Let me know if you’d like some help, and I can try when I am not at work.

I mean, use the tool that fits the job. I could probably help point you in the right direction. Is it from steam, or straight EA play app?

Not super familiar with openSUSE, but you could get protonup-qt and install Proton-GE.

For RGB try OpenRGB!

I refuse to buy any meta product, let alone use their platforms. If I get back into VR it’ll likely be Valve products

Thank you for the resource!

Proton has modules for EasyAntiCheat. I have played Halo on Arch. I don’t know about Helldivers, or Apex. But I absolutely know anticheat is an issue on Linux. Well if you ask me it is more so that these Kernel level anti-cheat mechanisms need to die.

I haven’t tried VR in Linux, I did sell my oculus, and haven’t gotten a replacement.

I use Reaper, and it’d fantastic. It’s more so the plugins that are an issue since VSTs aren’t supported too well on Linux. There are peripherals that don’t play well as well, but that’s vendor specific. My Line 6 gear for example.

I am full time on Arch. Ditched Windows 6+ months ago, and i won’t turn back. It has come with issues, but I’ve treated like a learning experience.

I am using an EVGA 3090 FTW on Arch, and if I had known when building my PC that Nvidia has issues, I would have gone the AMD route. But, I have gotten my 3090 usable, quite well actually with some tweaking.

I had issues using Wayland at first, but driver updates have helped.

I have wanted to check out NixOS, but I haven’t yet.

I can’t speak for everyone, but many hardware peripherals software for configuration and control don’t work.

For gamers that could be companion software for RGB and mwcro customization on keyboards, controllers and other peripherals too.

For myself, it would be music production software (VSTs and otherwise.) I know about different compatability layer softwares out there, but it’s a band-aid.

I made the switch to Arch and these 2 things have been my struggle.

For my music hardware I have run a windoes VM with virt-manager/qemu with USB passthrough. That sort of works, but it’s an extra thing to fuss with.

I even went down the rabbithole of trying to use usbip to get wine to recognize my hardware, with no success of wine seeing the bound port.

Its not flawless but I’m getting there.

I will not go back to windows. Even if it means changing my habits and use cases.

I’m always curious tochear what games people aren’t able to run in Linux. Which ones are you unable to run?

There isn’t “a best” exactly.

There are some things to consider though.

1. What hardware are you using?
2. Are the latest Video Drivers available for the distro you are considering?
3. How much configuration do you want to do?

Its a nuanced question. There isn’t a 1 size fits all approach to this.

For me, going Arch was the move. It fit my usage habits.

Issues with using AUR was enough for me to stay clear and not recommend to people.

Not that I’d necessarily recommend Arch as something for someone just getting into Linux or anything, but if you’re deadset on using something derivative, I would just recommend going with Arch.

This install scriot makes it no harder to install than anything. And the wiki is robust.

However, if you don’t want to learn how your OS works, and troubleshoot fringe issues, don’t use Arch.

My route into Linux I wouldn’t tell others to take.

This is just what’s new. Their documentation and dedicated pages about linkwarden have more info.
