I ended up buying one that flips around and can do A and C connections

Ofc, but then you now have a dependency on a specific version of ffmpeg for your root OS

Just had an example of this working for me. Parsec only publishes a .deb file, and the flatpak is out of date / unmaintained. They don’t have Nvidia decoding anywhere but Ubuntu. But with distrobox / boxbuddy I can get a fully-featured parsec install that runs on a distrobox. Works perfectly, and even has an application in my host application menu. It’s bad ass

I meant for bazzite. You can use an arch distrobox and it’ll be like you had arch installed already

Yup, but now I get to use whatever distro I want with distrobox. It’s awesome

I’ve installed .deb files before that fail or miss dependencies, then you get stuck in a half applied state and have to force fix your apt packages.

I’m not saying I’m doing it right, but its happened before more than a few times to me, but not on bazzite

Yeah, until that one time when you tell apt to force install a package and it fucks your entire system…

I’ve never used Garuda so I can’t comment on that. It just behaves like the steam deck but uses fedora

I believe bazzite is on btrfs by default. I just like the concept of a read only root filesystem. It helps make everything more stable so far for me personally

The root filesystem is immutable, not the entire filesystem. So when you do upgrades and things it’s super easy to roll back and you never need to rebuild your entire OS if a package is messed up or something.

Tbh I’m not great at explaining it, I’d just look up a YouTube video for it.

Bazzite uses silverblue with other gaming related features

Just use distrobox with Ubuntu or Debian for your tools and such. It tightly integrates with your OS and doesn’t sacrifice the immutability

It’s awesome. The packages don’t matter because you use distro box if there’s not a flatpak that works already. I have an Ubuntu distro box for tools for things that don’t work on fedora.

It uses ublueos for an immutable which is rock solid. Idk how to explain it well, but it’s the only distro I want anymore.

If u do end up trying it and find a package that doesn’t work, ping me and I’ll get you a command you can run to do it

Use bazzite when you do. It’s awesome

Its behind a paywall can you copy paste?

Self hosting email is a terrible idea. Your Internet goes out? All your emails are black holed

I switched to Kagi like 6 months ago and I still love it. Almost never have to go back to google except for maps.

Run the eos updater tool and it takes care of all of that for you. The broken mirrors isnt an actual issue either since there’s redundant mirrors on the mirror list I believe

Use EndeavourOS

In case anybody sees this, you can use your normal TV remote with a pi

I wouldn’t put android TV. Kodi has plex and jellyfin addon and definitely won’t have ads ever, or if it does it’ll quickly be forked
