Rechargeable battery chemistry usually can’t exactly match the voltage on the old ones. I’ve seen problems with all sorts of stuff by switching to rechargeable AAs. They typically have only 1.2v compared to 1.5v of a regular AA.

But the rechargeable coin battery mod for the Dreamcast is fine, I modded mine years ago and have had no issues.

Yup I went through that and did the battery holder + rechargeable coin cell at the same time. Works perfectly, great advice.

Wouldn’t the heavy transmission line itself act as the anchor like the chain on a cruise ship?

This was a great read and nearly mirrors my experiences with immutable distros as well.

I jumped ship from windows into Debian at first and after running into a lot of strange issues (mostly self inflicted) I decided I liked the idea of an immutable distro + containers to keep me on rails and prevent me from nuking things I shouldn’t.

I went with Aurora DX initially but decided to switch to Bazzite DX instead (which just took a single rebase command since they’re both based on Universal Blue. That was very cool) In theory it sounds great but I’ve run into issues with containers that I don’t understand. Specifically it seems like a permissions issue or something to do with the way my file system is set up. I tried installing a .deb into a debian container (same version and same .deb I had already installed just fine on Debian previously) but the container kept throwing weird errors about missing files. The path in the container error seems like it doesn’t exist and even if I remake the container with a custom root directory I get the same error. Just very weird stuff like that.

I wish I could hop on a discord call with someone who is familiar with this stuff and have them walk me through some of this. I’m definitely not going back to Windows so I’ll figure all this stuff out eventually, but its a bit of a struggle right now.
