Has anyone on here played around with Gnome 50 with Remote Desktop Protocol support and GPU acceleration? It seems like a killer combo for a remote workstation.

Nikita LisitsaGosh I love programming. I'd just write programs all the time if I could. *
* I actually can. And I actually am writing programs all the time.
Jeff JohnsonProducts can be made humanely. Fair deals can be struck. Domination is unnecessary.
ℒӱḏɩę 💾☮∞🎶♲☀🔋Finally got one of these again. I had a 100LX like 20 years ago and sold it on eBay. I stumbled across this near mint 200LX and just had to splurge again. An actual MSDOS pocket PC. I have so much cool stuff to load on here.
Absolutely ZERO enshittification here.

So, my plan is to hold my nose and follow the instructions to get the whole Helios and Omicron backplane thing set up exactly as Oxide would want and then figure out if there's a subset of that system that will work with zones and LX-branded zones and a CLI.
Other things I do with this same frugality and simplicity principle:
- I don't use the web UI. I use the CLI instead.
- I don't use KVM or Bhyve when I can use LX (Linux system call emulation) instead.
- I don't use LX when I can use an illumos zone instead.
- I avoid VMs in programming languages.
- I avoid GCs in programming languages.
- I don't use the web UI. I use the CLI instead.

An autism thing I do is waffle and struggle until I figure out the "upstream criteria" of a decision. There's a shape to things that are correct. I discover the shape and use it to inform my other decisions, while still thinking critically. I know this isn't going to make sense to you, so I'll give an example.
I use the simplest tool available, originally because I was poor, but now because I'm frugal. I use SSH keys, rsync, and cron to do backups and I've been doing it this way for 23 years.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to move from SmartOS to Helios at some point. I have to set up a VM and try out all the things I'm currently doing and make sure they still work acceptably. I may also move from Xeon to AMD EPYC, but stay on Dell hardware (because it's cheap). What I really want is to move to something like a mini-ITX Qualcomm board, but that's probably not possible yet. This is the goal because I want to compute as much as possible and I operate within my solar net-metering limits.
