I want to like jellyfin, but it’s authentication sucks

I thought Solus was dead

Right? That was my first thought.

Sneakernet ftw

Games are mostly Steam, though I occasionally play Fortnite with my son, and I am aware Heroic/Lutris can help with that.

You cannot play Fortnite on Linux, and if you try to play it by bypassing the Easy Anti-Cheat your account will get banned.

But you don’t own your data unless you regularly run their nonsense client to tunnel into their servers. So if Proton goes shit tomorrow? All your emails are gone. Not a HUGE issue if you regularly fetch those but… yeah.

Tbf most people don’t download offline copies, they just let all their email live on their provider’s servers and never think twice.

Personally, I’ve used either Outlook or Gmail since 2000 and haven’t ever had an issue getting access to my emails.

Pretty sure they have more than one cable on this thing.

Just a figure of speech 😉

This truly is God’s country

“So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time”

Why does Finn hate me!? 😭

Some of my games are bigger than 60gb 😂

What are you talking about? There’s a ventoy app for Linux too. Install it and run, nothing complicated about it.

This is the way

Hyprland uses mostly keybinds, though you can bind some actions to your scroll wheel.

You can definitely use something like waybar to create a custom interface that you can interact with your mouse or even touchscreen.

The beauty of using something like hyprland, sway, niri, etc. is that it is entirely up to you how your computer works, with every person pretty much getting their own custom desktop environment in the end.

Lmao gotem

I’ve been running Linux exclusively on my laptop for about 5 years.

I went from Manjaro, to EndeavourOS, then to Arch - using KDE, Xfce, Gnome, and eventually landing on hyprland.

There was a few games that I played that were exclusive to Windows, so I kept Win10 on my desktop PC and kept tweaking it to match my Linux setup.

But once I was done with those games and the Win10 EOL approaching, I was reminded of that Omni-Man meme, “Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power”. My system had so many registry edits and applications/integrations just to imitate Linux, why not just go for the real deal?

Understanding chmod and chown are foundational knowledge to actually being able to call oneself a “Linux user”. Great video!

I had to fiddle with it for a while when I moved my main machine over to Linux a few months ago, but that’s mostly on me because I chose Arch & Hyprland.

If I had gone with a mainstream distro with a “nvidia” variant, it would have likely just worked out of the gate.

Do it.

If you have an old laptop, put Linux on it, get comfortable using it. Then when you are ready, make the full switch on your main computer.

I have used Linux for a few years mostly on my servers, but that’s what I did to get used to the desktop experience. I setup a second SSD to have the option of dual booting if I needed it. That was back in March and I haven’t booted into Windows once.
