AMDGPU virtio native context is somewhat of an equivalent to the other options, although the pieces are not all available yet. Linux guest only as well.

And there’s Venus but that’s for Vulkan only (but a lot can be done with that alone on Linux guests).

Mailrise combined with an apprise notifier of your choice (I use gotify).

Jumping around a room exhausting yourself is kind of the antithesis to that.

I’m not sure what games you’re playing, but most are what would be considered light to moderate exercise (unless you’re playing fitness focused games at a high level), hardly something that is going to exhaust yourself. I’ll add that many VR games are standing or sitting experiences (or are room scale but require nothing more than walking).

Nevertheless, there are barriers like the weight and heat of the headsets (and the price) so I don’t disagree that it’s not mainstream.

Unless you’re just playing dumb, you should be aware that it has been removed from Windows 11. You can hold back the update for now at least (or stay on Windows 10).

Anyway Monado is coming along nicely, but unless Valve and the other companies they are involved in it start throwing more devs at it, there’s not much more that can be done.

I’d say the peripheral situation could be better too, such as sim racing gear. Logitech support is solid and looks decent with Fanatec at least, but there’s a lot of options out there that are unlikely to have good Linux support.

I tested out Monado recently with the Reverb G2 and it’s coming along nicely. It’s definitely not ready yet, but hopefully it will be within a few years.

The other thing is that my libraries are alphabetical in Jellyfin, so “Anime” comes before “Kaiju”, and I truly can’t stand the idea that Godzilla gets sent to the back of the bus.

If you mean the order the libraries are listed in the web interface, you change that from “User settings” -> “Home”.

Plex is closed source and gradually being enshittified. You might not leave today, but you should have an exit plan.

btrbk works that way essentially. Takes read-only snapshots on a schedule, and uses btrfs send/receive to create backups.

There’s also snapraid-btrfs which uses snapshots to help minimise write hole issues with snapraid, by creating parity data from snapshots, rather than the raw filesystem.

Never heard of it, what’s your reason for picking this one? Looks like it’s an Arch derivative, but the site doesn’t tell me much about what’s supposed to set it apart from vanilla Arch.

It’s a performance orientated distribution with a significant amount of kernel patches and other tweaks. Whether it’s worth it is arguable, but using their kernel at least isn’t a bad idea.

It’s nice even on the Deck if you want a bit more customisability. It also fixed an issue with Pipewire a few versions back with my somewhat non-standard config, although it’s probably fixed with SteamOS by now.

Could be useful for web articles and scientific papers too (if it could be configured to ignore reading out all of the boiler plate and citations).

Nice to see, but it’s pretty far behind the Windows version at the moment because the Vulkan renderer isn’t as accurate and doesn’t support upscaling.

And since vkd3d-proton started working with the emulator recently, that means the D3D12 renderer works using the Windows version, yielding much better compatibility and graphical quality.

There’s likely a firewall on the system that hosts the docker services, and docker’s default bridge rules bypass it when publishing a port. And since the docker rules are prioritised, it can be quite difficult to override them in a reliable way. I personally wish that the default rules would just open a rule to the host, but there might be some complexity that I’m missing that makes that challenging.

I personally use host networking to avoid the whole mess, but be aware you’ll have to change the internal ports for a bunch of services most likely, and that’s not always well-documented. And using the container name as the host name won’t work when referencing other containers, you’ll have to use e.g. localhost: even inside the network.

You can do the bind to localhost thing that others have mentioned, as long as the reverse proxy itself is inside the docker network (likely there are workarounds if not).

My desktop PC idles quite high as well. The semi high-end consumer motherboards on the AMD side tend to use a lot of power at idle, so I think that’s a big part of it (at least the x570 series, can’t speak for later). And as others have said, high refresh rate and multiple monitors can make things worse.

I’ll add though that people’s perception of how much power there system is using can be skewed by software based monitoring tools. People may think there system is using only 50W because that’s what software reports but it’s actually drawing a 100W at the wall.

It has never occured to me my whole life to not suspend

Reliability issues with suspend-to-ram are rather common. Shutting down is an option, but session save and restore is a relatively recent thing and not supported by all desktop environments. I.e. it’s the post startup part that takes the longest.

I use NixOS so if an update breaks, I just roll back. And since it’s effectively a rolling release distribution there isn’t any risk of being left behind on an outdated version.

It uses the Calibre database but isn’t a frontend per se. With care, you could share the db between the two, and just call up the desktop version when dedrm is needed. There’s also a docker mod with the LSIO container but I think it only supports format conversion.

Yep. And combined with obsidian you can mostly rely on open source apps.

I’ll add that the kernel implementation wasn’t fully completed until Linux 6.14, which isn’t released yet.
