I guess I’m confused on how t being sandboxed would stop it from doing it’s tracking thing
I think he was saying that installing it on your main would be the way that’s pointless
Doesn’t that make “vote blue, no matter who” an equally dumb thing to do?
Woof

Hard disagree. My experience here hasn’t been that anyone thinks they’re better, they just give recommendations based on their preferences. The problem is that everyone has different preferences.

Which leaves everyone wondering “wtf… There’s too many choices and I’m no closer to a decision after I’ve asked for help than before.”

Hell… In my case I was given MORE options after asking for help. In the end, that opened my eyes up to options that were better for my use case, but a lot of people just want to be told “use this and be happy”. There’s so much going on in everyone’s day to day that having to put thought into something they just want to work is exhausting.

That’s what windows gives people. The ability to be happy with what they have and not have to put any thought into it.

I am, of course, speaking for the majority out there. The people here, generally speaking, won’t be phased by that so take what I’m saying with a grain of salt if it doesn’t apply.

But yea… Analysis paralysis is 100% a thing and stops people from ever making the leap.

I’ve seen Debian mentioned a couple times now. Is there an ideal fork/repo/tell-me-what-word-to-use-here for what I’m trying to do?

I do have a laptop that would likely work for testing… But other than just firing it up… I have no idea what I should be doing to test it out. Install steam? Docker + a container? I don’t really have the time to commit to doing all of that for multiple distros…

All the containers will be dockerized. I’ll have to learn the new file structure and change the compose yaml’s before I fire them all up, but I can’t imagine that’ll be too horrible.

I actually really enjoyed learning docker, but it was a huge time sink and I’m trying to mitigate that as much as I can with this migration

Help me ditch windows? - Lemmy.World

Hey everyone! I’m finally fed up with Win11 and the bullshit that comes with it for the PC it’s on. It’s being used as a Jellyfin+arr stack, qbit, Immich, and gaming PC for the living room. I’m currently in the process of backing up all my important info and am doing research on which distro to use. I don’t mind tinkering, but for this PC, stability is key. I don’t want to have to go in and update it every week… I want this one to work with minimal maintenance on my part. I’d likely update it a few times a year, knowing me. A few hardware specs: MSI mobo (I’ve learned that UEFI can be a pain), 10600k, 2070 gpu, and will have a pool of 3x8tb drives that I would like to have in raid5 (or something similar) for storage (movies, TV shows, and Immich libraries), the OS will have its own drive, and I have a separate SSD that I have been using to store programs, games, yml’s for docker, and other such things that get accessed more frequently, but aren’t crucial if lost. I’ve kinda narrowed it down to either Bazzite or CachyOS. I’ve heard that Bazzite can be a little more locked down, which I’m not a fan of, but CachyOS has features I will likely never touch (schedulers, kernels, etc…). I don’t want an upkeep heavy OS. I’m moving away from windows for that reason. Win11 has been a nightmare for me with constant reboots and things not loading up until after I log in. Not to mention driver conflicts and all the other BS that’s come with it. So… What say the hive mind? Is Bazzite going to be too tinker-proof, or is CachyOS just way too much work? Or do I have it all wrong with my perception of both? Thanks! Ps: this will be my first full commit to Linux. I’ve dabbled in the past and am no stranger to CLI… So this will likely be a stepping stone into getting my primary PC onto Linux. Go easy on me lol

Genuinely curious… What are some games that had better innovation? I agree with your sentiment on arc, but I haven’t been paying attention to other games and what they’ve been doing.

Not only will he personally email you, but he will keep engaging to help you out. He recommended a mattress that fit the budget but didn’t ship to Alaska. After I told him that, he went out of his way to help me find another company that did. Ended up emailing back and forth with him a few times before landing on one of his recommendations.

I found him via and old AskReddit thread he started and kept going.

A+ effort from him.

Can this swap be done live, or does it need to be on a fresh install??

I have Jellyfin/arr stack/Immich PC on win 11 and I freaking hate it, but dread swapping everything over to Linux
