    FOSS driver only, the choices are AMD and Intel. Nvidia is out of the picture.

    Of coursenouveau drivers are still around and under active development, but as far as I know the performance if still very far from reasonable expectations.


  • There are some plug’n’play solutions out there, all off-the-shelf NAS you can find nowadays will have an “app store” type of things that will let you install Jellyfin and others Webservice in one click.

    The DIY way is cheaper, more flexible, more powerful, but it’s a journey and it can be very frustrating. I too, regularly spend hours if not days on problems that end up basically as “I’m an idiot and had a typo in the config file the whole time”. It’s a hobby for me, I don’t feel like it’s wasted time, I enjoy it, I’m learning stuff.



  • If you want to bring more people to Linux, preaching is really not a good way to do that. We are not a religion, we are not a cult. We are an enthousiastic bunch or nerds :)

    Avoid behind judgemental of people that use Windows, Mac or other proprietary software. Do not talk about Linux in length when it was not solicited.

    Instead, you can show how enthusiastic you are about all the cool things you are doing with your computer that happens to be running Linux!

    When people around you, do make the choice to switch, of their own will, then offer your help with all the patience and understanding you have.

    All the best 🐧🐧🐧



  • Damn, I saw the promotional video from ID yesterday with gameplay from DOOM: Dark ages. I am beyond excited for this game ! Although I will have to convince my SO the computer needs an upgrade. Also, it’s seems the release price for the basic game is going to be 80€ on steam, that’s a bit steep… Back in 2020 I paid 90€ for DOOM Eternal, with the 2 extensions and soundtrack included (the soundtrack didn’t turn has good as expected). Anyway, I plan to wait and see ProtonDB reports and confirm it runs flawless on Linux before buying.
