Fedora Kinoite, because it fits my workflow the best and has a nice mixture of stable and leading edge.

Everything I run was containerized either way (Flatpak, Docker or Podman) long before I switched to an immutable distro.

I have lots of different development environments for various versions of different programming languages that are incredibly easy to setup, throw away and recreate with toolbox without having to dive into the language specific tools for creating virtual environments (venv, conda, …). On regular Linux/Windows systems I end up at a point after a few years where there is junk laying around everywhere from 6 different PHP versions, 7 gcc variants and 8 .NET versions.

I was on Fedora KDE before that and the main reason for choosing it was that Ubuntu/Debian/Mint were too old to include firmware for my GPU. Arch and derivatives are on the opposite side of the spectrum and are too new for my taste, I’m fine with waiting a few weeks for .1 versions to release with bugfixes.

As for why not Bazzite or Aurora: Because I wanted to be as close to the original (Fedora & KDE) as possible. The modifications those distros make (and I need), I can do myself in a few minutes.

I do recommend Bazzite or Aurora for less experienced people though, they have a lot of tweaks that Kinoite is really lacking. Kinoite, just like the Fedora KDE variant has a lot of polishing issues that quickly become gigantic obstacles for beginners (Nvidia drivers, Flathub repository, H264/H265 codecs, missing udev rules, …)

I don’t have a Behringer UV1 but I do have an UMC404HD and an UMC202HD. Both work flawlessly on Linux out of the box.

Doesn’t work for me unfortunately, always falls back to CPU ever since the packages were split up.

Looks like you’re right.

I switched to it when Alpaca stopped working on AMD GPUs and was under the impression it is open source.

Distrobox is much more suitable for installing RPMs on immutable distros, unless they need deep system access (e.g. Docker).

Bazzite even ships with DistroShelf for that purpose.

Just create a Fedora container for RPMs and a Ubuntu/Debian container for DEBs and install them there.

LM Studio is by far my favorite. Supports all GPUs out of the box on Linux and has tons of options.

Anyone wanna yell at me for being an idiot and doing everything wrong?

Not yell, but: Jellyfin is dropping HTTPS support with a future update so you might want to read up on reverse proxies before then.

Additionally, you might want to check if Shodan has your Jellyfin instance listed: https://www.shodan.io/

It does!

If you want to actually digitally sign you can add a key in your OS and then go to “Tools -> Digitally sign” where you can choose a background image which you then can drag where you want to have it.

If you only want your written signature in there, you can create a stamp for it. Click on the arrow beside “Yellow Highlighter” (or whichever tool you have selected) in the top right corner. Select “Configure Annotations” and hit “Add…”.

Make the type a stamp, give it a name like “Signature” and select an image you want to use. After that save and apply.

You can now select your stamp in the top right corner and place it anywhere by clicking or dragging over the PDF.

As a side note, depending on where you live a written signature in a PDF is meaningless at least in terms of legally binding documents.

Also, it runs like absolute ass compared to World.

I use Jellyfin with Finamp on Android/PC and the Jellyfin plugin for Kodi on my HTPC.

The Jellyfin plugin does movies/shows too and not just music but it handles music playback as well. For a dedicated music box I’m not sure if I would use Kodi for it.

It looks like a lot of the complaining is about how it’s not like Patapon?

Most of it, but not all of it.

I played a little bit of the demo and was excited for a Patapon clone but it felt…off?

My main issues with it:

• Moving your own character does not really add anything to the game
• It’s really easy for the music to sound off-beat by narrowly missing the timing
• The metronome was replaced by a fixed Guitar Hero-like note display
• There is too much going on at times, mostly due to the more complex art style
• The beat between enemies and yourself does not match, making it impossible to counter some attacks
• You cannot cancel the beat by failing on purpose; If you fail, you have to wait until you can input the next command

I really hope they can improve things but right now I don’t really enjoy it.

You can install an application like Flatseal (https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal) to inspect the permissions for a flatpak.

How locked down a flatpak is depends entirely on the developer and what permissions they request. By default, they can’t really see much. For example, they can’t even see the processes running on your host or your user and system files.

Flatpak does not do anything about network access though, it can only do no access or full access, no in between. The data they can collect on Linux in a Flatpak is very limited but it does not prevent them from calling home.

Thanks!

Steam does as well.

I found out recently that KDE has a “Focus stealing prevention” in their settings and it has been glorious.

They went pretty fast with performance improvements after launch and the first major update. There was a larger gap with the last update because they bought their publishing rights back and had to wait for all the legal stuff to settle.

So far they had one large update which added end-game content and another large update with a major balancing overhaul, which also reset character progress.

HLTB currently sets the game at 12.5 hours for the main story and 24 hours for main + side quests.

I’m planning to play it once co-op releases, the game seems to be in a good state and has enough content for me.

Maybe Games on Whales is for you? https://games-on-whales.github.io/

Besides modifying the file, mpv can also automatically crop the videos with their autocrop script while playing: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/TOOLS/lua/autocrop.lua

I use it for playing 21:9 content inside a 16:9 video file on a 21:9 screen.

I “vibe code” anything that is throwaway.

Same here. It’s surprisingly easy to get quick results with a few prompts for one-time scripts without putting any effort in.

Why not run the image registry on the Raspberry Pi itself? Then you can do your builds on your regular machine and push them to your Raspberry Pi when done.

If Doom Eternal is a rhythm game, what does that make Metal: Hellsinger aka “Doom but as a rhythm game”?

(really great game btw)
