When you get your boot fixed, there's a nice way to automount volumes with systemd as an alternative to modifying fstab. I think this is how I did it on Bazzite:
Not that I care about MMOs anymore (been clean for seven years at this point) but isn't LOTRO still operating?
Ah:
If you're desperate to roam Middle-earth in company, Standing Stone and Daybreak's The Lord of the Rings Online is still trucking along with a small but steady audience, almost two decades since launch. The community's recent doings include finally accomplishing a pilgrimage of desperately underlevelled hobbits to Mount Doom.
I didn't realize that was a thing! Neat. Do you know what all that includes? On Aurora DX I only had to layer virt-top (virtio-win can be installed as a local package). My use case: I run a Windows VM that uses the discrete graphics card.
Edit: I did an rpm-ostree reset this week and found virtio-win was baked into the deployment. Long story but this started as a Bazzite machine, then I mistakenly rebased to the Silverblue source image that they used to make all the ublue OSes (which is a thing you can do, but obviously not supported or desired) before I eventually rebased again to Aurora DX. Learning is fun. At no point did the system fail to work, though. Kinda badass.
Bazzite is perfectly usable for productivity in most cases. I have Aurora DX installed on my work box which comes with libvirtd and other sundries that you need for virtualization. You can do that with Bazzite but it would require layering.
This is a hit piece. Aurora is my daily driver for work and I think it's great. It guarantees you always have a working system (assuming you use deployment pinning) and that alone is worth it to me for the stability and anxiety-free updates. If you switched to Bazzite for your gaming PCs last year like I did, Aurora is a natural fit for your productivity needs.
According to Yahoo finance, Amazon had $638 billion in revenue for 2024. The settlement amount of $2.5 billion is about 1/250 of that revenue. It's like if a person making $100k a year got a $400 fine. Truly a devastating blow. Will Amazon recover? 🙄
Been done with them for a while. UberEats still owes me $40 where I was twice doubled charged for tips, not to mention the fact that they introduced "distance fees" after I'd bought a year's subscription, thereby changing the terms on me without notification or agreement. Pig fuckers.
I quell the rising panic by getting baked and watching game shows from the 1970s, so I'd say I can run as long as the power, internet connectivity, THC, and money to pay for them hold out.
A couple times a week my address bar detaches from the bottom and floats in the lower third of the screen until I close and reopen the app, but sure, prioritize needless changes to the UI.
