I've switched instances since this comment, so I didn't see it until now, when I've just happened to log back in. Really glad to hear things have generally been smooth, that's a shame about the new device policy, though. I've never been a fan of Debian for use on workstations. At least with Flatpak, you can still have updated software nowadays.

Only issue I had was that the PC freezes if it enters sleep mode.

Sleep issues are sadly common since sleep is weirdly complicated and motherboards are often bad at properly implementing things in a standard way. They often just implement it well enough that it works on Windows, then forget about it. If you're lucky, a future motherboard or kernel update might fix it.

The vast majority of systems won't have a problem, but when you do, it is a real pain in the ass.

Fitgirl repacks are broken and have been for a while. Dodi repacks work fine.

You're looking at this with a very closed mind. This isnt (currently) being designed for people to just do normal computer stuff but in their brain. This technology has huge potential for improving prosthetics and treating neurological disorders.

And people who adopt cats shouldnt be adding to the problem. Outdoor cats have a much lower life expectancy than an indoor one, if you let your cat outdoors youre actively putting them in more danger and you shouldnt have them.

As long as you spend time providing your cat proper enrichment to express their hunting instincts, an indoor cat will be just as happy as an outdoor cat.

There is no situation where it is impossible to avoid. I'm glad your cat has had a good life, but in general, outdoor cats are still far more likely to die young to diseases, accidents, and wildlife.

Yeah, house cats killing birds in regions they aren't native to. Your comment still has notthing to do with that.

None of the shelters or adoption agencies near me will even let you get a cat if you don't say it will be kept indoors on the papers. Cats can easily be given the same level of enrichment indoors by playing with them.

Keeping your cat indoors is only cruel when you don't care enough about them to play and provide enrichment to make them happy, in which case you shouldn't have a cat.

You could just look at my profile to see that I'm not. I'm also not new to Linux communities in general. Doesn't change that I've never seen someone recommend NixOS to a complete beginner. I have (rarely) seen Arch recommended, but those recommendations will generally be downvoted and have many replies disagreeing. Linux Mint is by far the distro I see most often recommended, followed by Fedora.

I've genuinely never seen a single person recommend NixOS to a new user, unless they already had advanced technical knowledge

How is that an obvious databreach? It was just bot spam, something every single public site has had issues with.

Samsung updates, they ruin android more and more with each one. The quality of the ROM an android comes with is a very underrated thing to consider when buying. Pixels are very close to stock android. Nothing is also good, farther from stock but the changes are for the better imo. OnePlus was good last time I had one, but not sure if they still are.

I know, but they didnt specify if it was on the same drive or not.

By default Sonarr and Radarr both copy files, not move them, so the files shouldnt be disappearing from the original drive.

I believe it is, but I don't think it always has been. I'm not sure if they automatically enabled it for existing installs when it was added.

By default both Sonarr and Radarr copy files, not move them. If they're being removed, something else is likely causing that. Some torrent clients have options to remove files after downloads are complete, maybe you have that turned on?

Telling your client where the file has been moved to wouldn't generally work, since Sonarr and Radarr will reorganize and rename files, so you couldn't keep seeding from them.

You can configure radarr and sonarr to use hard linking instead of moving the.

They absolutely didn't work. I didn't try removing the compatibility files afaik, but switching versions should basically have had the same result as that did trigger an first-time setup each time. The Ubisoft installer wasn't part of that install for as far as I could see, or failed for each proton version without any visible signs.

Understood, my bad for assuming! It sounds like you had some really bad luck, as I couldn't find users with the same issues on ProtonDB.

The problem here is mostly that the information offered on various locations differs and it is a question of trial and error to find out what works and what not, especially if you're still figuring out the gaming ecosystem.

I definitely agree that this is a big issue. ProtonDB is generally the best source, and besides that a lot of the best resources are unfortunately in difficult to search Discords. I would love to see a more organized resource for this kinda stuff. This issue extends beyond gaming on Linux, too. Looking up any Linux issues results in a ton of super outdated or just bad info.

It was Linux Mint, on an Nvidia Prime-based laptop.

Linux Mint is a great distro, but one that I personally recommend against for gaming. People recommending distros that aren't great for some use cases is also a problem with Linux gaming. Mint's stability means using outdated Nvidia drivers, something that I would absolutely try to avoid.

I already saw somebody else mentioning Bazzite, so my next attempt will be to try that distribution.

I do love Bazzite, it is easily the distro I recommend most to users trying Linux for gaming. The only warning I have is that if you use hardware that needs kernel drivers that aren't upstream, and they aren't packaged by Bazzite, you will probably run into trouble. I wanted to use a steering wheel that needed a custom driver and just had to give up on getting it working. The only solutions seemed to require a ton of knowledge about ublue and all the containerization technology they use. It's not my main distro, so I really didn't feel like dedicating the time to learning all that.

However, that's the only issue I've ever run into with Bazzite, and otherwise it is super user-friendly and Just Works™.

Thats all fair, I'm not trying to say their a better option for you or developers in general, just that they do offer features and benefits targeted at developers. I disagree with the idea that theyre only made for users with very simple needs.

Ive never run into any issues trying to build random projects or run random tools is distrobox, but I also haven't used it as a main development tool. I prefer Nix for that.

Those tools are definitely great too, they just don't offer the same purity because they dont handle external dependencies. Guaranteeing a reproducible build environment is something I find very valuable.
