I have had broken updates pushed on my system with Bazzite, and the fact that I couldn’t do anything about it just rubbed me the wrong way. That’s just me though, some people are fine with rolling back to an older image, no hate lol

Nobara is not immutable, which is a plus for some people. I’d use it over Bazzite because I like the ability to fix things that break rather than just rolling back to an older image and hoping that the next update unfucks whatever the maintainers broke in the last update, but some people are fine with that process, so for them there is Bazzite.

Domains can be even cheaper than that, I got a .net address from porkbun for $12.50 a year. That’s cheap enough for even me, and I am broke, y’all.

Wayland is experimental in Cinnamon currently.

Username checks out?

Finally, time to learn how to use awk! Sed, you’re next.

Make all your windows translucent!

You hit me in the cup

Proton for sure does allow port forwarding

Just gotta hope Kent gets his pull requests there in time lol

That’s pretty dependant on hardware. If you host small stuff , like a pihole or something, that can be done relatively cheaply, by using a micro-PC or a Raspberry Pi. Some services don’t need to be always-on either, you only need stuff all the time if it’s mission-critical, otherwise you can turn stuff on and off as necessary, for power-saving purposes. Self-hosting doesn’t necessitate a huge rack and switches, or even your big gaming rig, my favorite thing to do with old laptops is throw Debian on it and find something I’d like to self-hosting from this list.

Mostly just the RAID5 and 6 instability, it’s fantastic otherwise. But I’m kinda excited to try out bcachefs pretty soon, as well.

No, but putting a bunch of those services behind a reverse proxy would lower the amount of open ports. It would also have the side effect of making firewall configuration easier, since you don’t need rules for all those ports anymore.

Sounds like you could use a reverse proxy.

How many special people change

If you wanna check if a specific game is gonna work before you buy it, there’s protondb.com

Arch already has apt in the repo, so I’d imagine it’s not super hard to build your own Debian from there.

It’s got it’s own dependency manager, and GOG is one of the pre-configured applications in the Gaming section, so it makes sure that everything needed to run GOG is there. I’ve never used winetricks/protontricks on their own, but I think the main difference is the sandboxed nature, the devs recommend installing Bottles as a flatpak, and then it makes it’s own prefixes within that environment. They also recommend making new bottles for each application, so like if you also wanted EGS or the EA store, you’d make new bottles for each of those rather than keeping them all under one “gaming” profile, for example. Here’s docs if you’re a reader like me:

You could also try Bottles.

Good news for my server!
