Didn’t know you could buy used licenses, I’ll definitely have to look into them. Thanks again.

Ooo thanks for the zrhythm reco. They might be suitable for me because i liked my time with the bitwig trial, but I’m below even a hobby music maker and only like to mess around every now and then so paying the price they ask for is probably not financially responsible for me at the moment.

Bigwig Studio is made by some of the original Devs of Ableton i believe and from what I’ve messed around with it in a trial. It’s way better (stylish too). If I was less of an occasional dabbler in music production I’d absolutely pay for this. Linux is not a second class citizen to them which is great, any VSTs they release themselves always work on Linux natively too.

Theres also reaper, but I feel like the barrier to entry on that one can feel a bit daunting. It never feels just ready to go for a newcomer.

Theres also a bunch of different trackers that are Linux compatible some with VST support too, but that’s a very different way of making music from the traditional DAW.

Hmm it seems the speculative market loves speculation rather than actual results…

And a lot of the artwork from the original card game too.

I really liked the card game as well. I ain’t ever gonna touch the mtg version though

Often preinstalled on prebuilts and laptops though, along with the OEMs bloat

Nvidia’s always had quirky issues especially 10 series and before on Linux

In all of the bazzite documentation they always warn against it anyway. As long as you use the OS as intended it’s super smooth and simple, you just have steam and flatpaks readily available.

If you want a good gaming distro but more control like using a proper native package manager instead of flatpaks, I’d recommend cachyos. If you don’t want to delve into distrobox on bazzite to get use of a package manager anyway.

You could always have a Debian distrobox if you want to use its systems within bazzite.

I installed some stuff with epm-ostree early on in my experience in bazzite and at some point i could no longer update. I had to do a rebase to sort it. Thankfully, that’s easy and pretty quick though.

Difference in GPU?

Even though bazzite is fedora-based you’re not really meant to interact with the fedora side of it all. At least that’s the impression I’ve gotten from it.

And sometimes with better performance than windows because of less of a system overhead.

You shouldn’t ever use rpm-ostree to install stuff with, as it can cause issues with future system updates.

First port of call should be flatpaks in the bazaar.

Second, look for flatpaks or appimages online.

Third, use distrobox to install something via a different distro and export it as a shortcut to bazzite. I use arch in a distrobox, btw.

Is there ever a reason to manually install now that archinstall is a thing?

I’ve tried bazzite, nobara and cachyos

Bazzite is fantastic if all you care about is gaming. I have three devices that will do little more than just gaming that have it and it’s fantastic for HTPC gaming if you like controllers. (My partner uses it on desktop and finds it fine and never gets in the way of what she wants to do)

I tried nobara on a laptop that i planned to do a little bit of everything on but for some reason i had a difficult time with it. I landed on cachyos because I’ve had some experience with arch and felt much more comfortable with it.

I never said it was small haha. I did say it was big.

I never planned to get a server like this initially. Just the perks of having a partner working in IT for a school that’s decommissioning old tech since they’re outsourcing some stuff soon.

It has 256gb of ram. I don’t remember the CPU power but it has 2.

I want to do self hosted storage, currently have 12-16tb (I’ve forgotten which). I’ll also want to have other services running. Like game servers or things like immich and jellyfin. I’ll also want to have something for git and probably Jenkins (or similar), then also a place to host anything I create that needs hosting.

When i asked where to begin with such a server, pretty much all of the responses were to go with proxmox. I’m not a fan that it’s nagware though so I’m open to other suggestions.

I have a big super micro server i was given a while back but have yet to set it up. I was going to put proxmox on it. Would you recommend yuno over that?

For a multitude of reasons, that is a silly suggestion.
