There’s a reason there are several versions of Proton. Sometimes the older version works better. If you look at ProtonDB, that appears to be the case here.

That same functionality is built into Heroic. There’s no reason to install a redundant manager.

If you’ve already got an Nvidia card, there’s no sense in going out and buying a new one just for Linux. Just make sure you choose a distro that explicitly supports Nvidia out of the box.

I started with Nvidia as well and then just got AMD at the next upgrade.

It says I’m “not authorized”. What is a Linux controller?

tl;dw?

I don’t really know anything about that but I’m not sure why you’d want to use SteamOS for it? Bazzite is pretty much functionally the same as SteamOS.

I obviously have “some technical knowledge” as I was able to launch a server and install Immich. I just don’t understand why everyone seems entirely opposed to making things easier.

I think it is.

Why is that?

They are also pretty clear on the immich website on how to backup the database itself

Yeah I’m pretty tired of hearing things are “pretty clear” or “not that complicated” and then being directed to an absolute word salad of technical terms no one without a computer science degree would understand.

No, just an “export” wouldn’t be good enough since the files themselves do not include the metadata.

They could…add them?

If they implemented a proper backup system I wouldn’t have to worry about it breaking. That’s why I want it.

There’s nothing else I need to access the backend for.

Once again, not what I asked for. If you don’t have anything helpful to contribute, please feel free to stop replying to me.

Pedants*

I did not ask for magic. I asked for a button to export my data. Unless you consider that to be magical?

if I did even the barest amount of effort to learn it on my own that I could find all the information

I’m sure you could. And I’m sure I could. The problem is knowing what to do with that information. As it is, it might as well all be fucking hieroglyphics to me. I don’t understand it.

You seem to be unable to comprehend that everyone is not a sysadmin. I do, however, know how to click buttons in a UI.

I’m not looking to become a sysadmin, thanks. I just want somewhere to safely store and organize my private photos.

I don’t know how to access the filesystem and copying the library folders would not back up the metadata.

A great backup solution would be what I mentioned elsewhere. Just put a button to export it to a flash drive or an encrypted file server.

I have no idea where that data is. Immich does.

Telling me to Google it is unhelpful and rude and further backs up my point that it is more complicated. If there is a button, I don’t need to research anything, I just click it.

Are you paying for Immich somewhere?

No.

by managed services I meant like Google Photos

Not doing that for reasons that shouldn’t need explaining.

I don’t understand how that’s helpful. If something is corrupted or my house burns down, a local backup is going to go with it. That’s why I asked for external backups.

You should have a backup solution for your server that should cover this

Thats…why I’m asking?

managed photo backup services

…is that not what Immich is?

Choose your source and destination, run rclone. That’s it.

This tells me absolutely nothing about how to do that. Source for what? Destination for what? Choose them where? What is rclone? Where do I get it? How do I run it? What does it do?

All questions that don’t need to be answered before clicking a button in the UI.

E: That was very much not it, and they asked me to Google the rest of it.
