Didn’t we reach a point where EULAs are non-enforcable? Or is that just in the EU? But regardless, Valve can just ban you and good luck doing anything about it.

Agreed, this has been my experience as well. I tried switching to full time Linux multiple times. I had already used it on my laptop for years but on my desktop I kept going back to Windows because things on Windows just worked the way I wanted and thought that for some things there weren’t any Linux alternatives.

That was until two years ago I challenged myself to only use Linux for a month. I’ve been using Linux on my desktop ever since and only use Windows now and then to play a single game that doesn’t work on Linux due to anti cheat.

Luckfox Pico Mini might be you’re looking for. It’s a Linux SBC that costs around 10 USD, in a Teensy/Raspberry Pico or even smaller formfactor.

I suppose xrandr can help you here: See the Arch wiki about xrandr

Which kernel do you use on Debian? IIRC support for Intel Arc was added in 6.0 or higher. I am using Proxmox (based on Debian) and I had to upgrade from 5.15 to 6.2 kernel to get hardware decoding to work. Have you checked the Jellyfin manual? It’s pretty elaborate on how to get Intel QSV working.

Nintendo would rather want games to not be preserved so people can shell out some money to play a remaster on the next gen or 2.

What I meant was, I have a Unifi router and was thinking of putting a dedicated firewall in front of it. Does that make any sense or would the firewall on the unify be just as capable? Before the Dream Machine that is my current router I was running an opnsense router with my Unifi switches behind it so I’m not super unfamiliar with it I guess.

This is really cool. I’ve been interested in running something like this. Does it make sense to have this as a dedicated firewall in front of my Unifi lan?

You can always try professional data recovery services. It just depends on how much the data is worth to you.

I love Slay the Spire. It’s been a while since I played it on PC but nowadays I play it on my phone or tablet every now and then. I backed the Slay the Spire boardgame on Kickstarter that will be shipped some time soon and I can’t wait to try it out.

I think the max I got was Ascension 6, I’m not that good at deck builders I think. The Silent and Ironclad are my favourites and I play whatever fits my mood. Getting insane high block together body slam is just as much fun as getting insanely high poison stacks. I never once made it through act 4 sadly.

The music is also something I really enjoy, it fits the game so well! Sometimes I listen to it while driving or working.

I love this game so much. The video is very accurate but doesn’t mention that once you overcome the hurdles this game throws at you, you can become so damn powerful that your wand can shoot 50 nukes per second that each erase the entire world you are in which temporarily reduces your framerate to several seconds per frame.

Yet you’ll still die if you step into two pixels of the purple stuff and something shoots at you while you got turned into a flying sheep.

I’m guessing to go from this to this.

When I fkrst read this I thought this was a joke post of someone not being able to start the game on their PC.

But also one of the worst options in terms of privacy.

This indeed. To OP: if you use LXC containers using templates that Proxmox provides, they are headless by default. A Gui is a waste of resources.

This is actually everyone’s complaint about the game. It’s frustrating because the game has a lot of potential otherwise.

The only conclusion to make is that the video game industry has matured to a point where only masterpieces are released. Bad games just don’t exist anymore.

Right??

Jeez, thanks for this blast from the past. I remember a lot of these from my early Linux experiments over a decade ago.

A PSU will be most efficient if the load is close to what it’s designed for. A PicoPSU doesn’t have as many components as say a full ATX PSU and they are all sized for tiny loads.

I have used Pico PSUs on several occasions, more so due to their size than their effeciency. So I don’t think I’d swap a normal PSU out for one. With the difference of just 10 watts you’d probably have to run it 24/7 for years to break even in the cost of purchase.

1030’s can be both low profile and passively cooled. They are cheap but their performance is quite low. I think it’s slower then modern integrated graphics. 1650’s are also available without external power.

On AMD’s side you can go for either a Radeon 460 or a Radeon Pro WX 5100. I think those 4 are your best options.

Edit: I think as someone else commented the RX 6400 might be the best option nowadays.
