QNap running QuTS hero or dIY truenas scale

Altera has been selling the Cyclone 2 for a minute now. I have DE10 nanos and MisterFPGA systems. I’m curious to see if the cost of something like the Agilex is going to go up or down and if we’re going to finally see it in retro emulation.

Not verified, steam deck players = free beta testing.

It’s free real estate.

I keep recommending BazziteOS but Jorge Castro over at the universal Blue project has a really good point “Most people don’t install their operating systems” and that plain fact is what stops people from moving to Linux.

Valve has momentum because they are selling you a system with the OS already on it. Sell more gaming PCs with pre installed Linux on it and the support will follow. Valve’s first attempt at getting Linux based gaming hardware out there failed but that didn’t stop them and the real push is coming this time.

If you do install your OS (most people here have once or twice), try Bazzite out. I’m running it on the minisforum Bd790i with a radeon 7800xt and it works great!

Cool. I was just looking to see if someone had a guide because I’m trying to understand the pitfalls of doing it this way and I’m curious if anyone else has opened up Jellyfin to the world.

Does anyone have any helpful guides on setting up jellyfin with a certificate so they can privately host it while also keeping it secure and up to date? I think if using docker it would make sense to use compose and configure traeffic proxy and use let’s encrypt for certificates.

Plex takes care of this for you with their cert and authentication systems. I feel like if user management and secure authentication is easy to set up then that is the primary reason to leave Plex. If I can just hand out accounts to anyone whom I would like to access my instance with ease then my family members could easily access it.

If one was to host from the home, using something like tailscale to host it online with forwarding a port would also be ideal.

Thanks

I just want to make sure I read this correctly. It says that if you’re a Plex plass holder already that remote streaming changes won’t affect your service. This means that if I have the lifetime subscription and host my own server than users whom have not payed for Plex pass can continue to access this server without issue correct?

I saw this movie this weekend. It was ok. There were a lot of missed opportunities and unexplored plot points. The film consistently stumbles just to keep the pace up. It had enough story to be a limited TV series but it was condensed in a way that made it feel rushed. With that being said I enjoyed the acting and cringed actively as I watched on in horror at what effectively is unironically already the world we live in.

This is True. I spend most of my gaming time on Bazzite with a 7800xt Nitro+ GPU. Works great 10/10.

I’ve bought two AMD GPUs in the last two years but I still have three Nvidia GPUs that I use. The cost of moving everything over to AMD is high so it just takes time to get rid of old hardware as a best case scenario.

Honestly this is exactly the product I was waiting for minisforum to make. I think this is actually a pretty solid move.

I met Bob Camp once and told him how these images of Ren and Stimpy are burned into my brain from childhood. His reply was “We call them Gross-Ups!”.

Bazzite is amazing. Pretty much all Ublue based distros have been the most painless Linux experience I’ve had in years. The biggest problem I think most users have is the Dominance of Nvidia graphics hardware. Nvidia does “work” but it’s much more unstable than the much more stable AMD driver. I bought an AMD 7800xt and I’m pretty much problem free now.

Since I have so many Nvidia cards I’m regularly testing Nvidia under Bazzite on a spare 2070super. It’s impressive but it’s not ready for average users.

I’m pretty sure the final version of Windows 10 LTSC 2021 had its window of support shortened to five years to align with the end of support. Only windows 10 LTSC 2019 has 10 years of support. If you’re using LTSC 2019 for gaming please be aware you will be missing any features released for windows 10 that were released after version 1809. This will harm game performance for a lot of newer titles and hardware.

This is funny. I feel like I see a “which arch is better” post almost everyday now.

A lot of people I think would be well suited to be on Bluefin or Bazzite. I really can’t sing the praises of it enough. It has a ton of well developed resources and the Appstore is flatpak centric. It really does give you that ChromeOS like experience for the average user.

End users should really be nowhere near package management. They should just be able to run the apps they want and expect them to work.

Sure. When selecting Nvidia GPU under Bazzite you will see this message “Steam Gaming Mode support is available for your hardware in beta, but multiple known issues exist in these builds. Please note that the majority of bugs cannot be fixed except by your GPU manufacturer.”

BazziteOS for the win. I used ChimeraOS for a year but Bazzite has been much better. It comes out of the box with most everything you need.

With that being said for gaming, Nvidia driver is very early days and is considered experimental under Bazzite. I have several Nvidia GPUs and I regularly test Linux with a 2070+Intel tiger lake machine to see what works and what doesn’t.

I purchased a Radeon 7800xt for Bazzite and it’s extremely stable. This will probably be my recommendation going forward.

I built a steam gaming PC for my livingroom using Bazzite, a minisforum BD790i, and a Radeon 7800xt. I love it and there is NO going back for me at this point.

(P.S. Decky Gen plugin fixes a lot of weird issues on games that support DLSS by letting you slip in far 3.1 or XESS in it’s place + frame gen. I’ve even been able to get ray tracing running decently with this method)

My two cents.

I have quite a few Nvidia GPUs I still use (2080,3080ti,3090) but recently purchased two AMD cards. I have a 5700xt and 7800xt.

I recently started using Universal Blue Linux as my daily driver on most of my systems. Bluefin for my desktop with Nvidia, Bazzite for my gaming PC with AMD.

They do both work however I have still had more issues with NVIDIA than AMD. For example, running games tends to be buggier but that is specifically an Nvidia driver issue. I’m guessing most hot fixes come out for the windows driver first. For instance, FF7 Rebirth does not render world geometry on Nvidia on Linux. I do not have this problem under AMD

I started purchasing the AMD cards because I was growing tired of waiting for Nvidia stability on Linux.

Is it much better than it was before , yes Do you use Nvidia CUDA apps or AI? Check, that works! Is it still as smooth and seamless as AMD, nope, you’re still going to end up with regressions.

I think it’s only a matter time before Nvidia finally figured this out as they heavily rely on Linux as a platform in their own work. But right now your best user experience overall is going to be on AMD hardware.
