Yes, you kinda can disable suspend, but it will still cut off spdif transmission even then. Normally that wouldn’t be an issue but my receiver is super old and takes its sweet time to start actually playing audio after it gets a signal
Got fed up of Pipewire suspending (old receiver takes ~2 sec to work again after spdif stream is cut) that now I auto-run aplay to play a silent .wav on loop
I’d say keep that machine as is, and whenever you build a new one, just put whichever distro you like. If possible I’d roll back to win10 and after support ends, keep that machine VLAN’d off the internet. This way you turn it into a music production appliance without disrupting your workflow
Who would dare to ask why
The archive file, right?
RIGHT???
I made a hole on the shelf it sits on, added a grill on top and a 120mm fan below. No more crashing
It’s been over a year and a half since I built this setup, and to this day I kick myself for not building everything on top of proxmox. That being said, I’m on a rather limited hardware, so I don’t know how much better would be to migrate to it (R3 3200G, 6gb of ram)
setting up a graphical session with a non-root user and sandboxing Jellyfin media player would be relatively easily, for example using only flatpak, you could sandbox it so it only has access to your media path.
I really like Flame. I have it as my startpage on both desktop and mobile browsers. It’s light and pretty quick to set up
This looks kinda neat, I even tore down my whole servarr stack to give it a go, alas I can’t get bitmagnet to “talk” with prowlarr. I’m probably doing something really stupid, but I can’t figure out how to add the whole thing under a single docker network, I get errors like
network somename was found but has incorrect label com.docker.compose.network set to ""
There’s a non-zero probability of linux borking your NTFS drive, try to move your stuff to a proper partition, also its far less likely you’ll find weirdo issues.
Proton tends to work better because steam games are identified by an AppID and it has a list of tweaks/settings required for games that need them (protonfixes). If you install a game on steam and launch it, it just works, because it knows that you’re trying to run game X and it needs patches Y and Z. On wine it will probably work the same, but you’ll have to install winetricks or change settings yourself.
Wine builds for Lutris made by GloriousEggroll are based on proton and include most of the extra patches along with newest versions of things like VKD3D or DXVK. You just need to install redistributables by hand via winetricks.
Made the switch way before any kind of support from steam, had several games from aspyr and feral, bought a codeweavers license and all that. For me at keast it’s about the lack of interruptions and actually enjoying the workflow on gnome. I also love the idea of fetting in touch directly with the people making the programs I enjoy and not a random support rep on the other side of the world.
On the other hand, you should probably take a deeper look at steam. There are a ton of extra modifications you can do to the client, all of them unofficial and some straight up illegal, from changing the theme to injecting enhancements on the store (e.g. displaying protondb score on store pages) to aome shady shit like unlocking DLC. Steam is DRM but it’s not denuvo or something like that. It’s easily circumventable to the point I feel safe buying games on it, knowing if they ever go for a rug pull, I could keep most if not all my stuff regardless of the platform itself.
Kongregate was dope, it was like Steam but for flash
And they got some really cool experiences we could never dream of. There are now several full games running in browsers, with 3d acceleration and everything. Play-cs or wipeout off the top of my head, but also a lot of older pc arcade and console games on archive.org and new originals on itch.io
PlayOnLinux has been abandoned for years, stick to lutris, it also does far more for you thsn PoL
Knowing myself, I shiver at the idea of my nix config… It’ll probably have more ductape than a 3M distribution center
