If I recall the Jellyfin add on had the exact same problems

I just got done getting the Jellyfin plugin working with Libreelec. It does work, but it's a bit jank compared to, say, on a Roku or the like. You can't do client key auth, you have to use a user/pass. And if you don't select your main server upon install, you have to enter it manually (no apparent way to autodetect UPNP or DLNA?), or do a total plugin reset and it will autodetect then.

I realize now that if I had purchased a Pi 4 or 5 for $50 more I could've gotten a dedicated Emby Theatre image which would've been nice. this thing is surprisingly laggy even with the official Raspberry Pi OS, maybe it came with a jank SD card

Rewrote my little CPU temperature monitoring utility since it was pretty embarrassing. Now it only opens the file descriptor once and is written in C. Still niggerlicious because there is no cleanup of the open FD handle, as most of the program is an infinite while loop with a delay. This thing is supposed to run from startup to shutdown though, so maybe it's fine.
Step 2: Enable per-rule URL filtering in its settings.
Step 3: Do the following.
The Accept header modification is likely optional. You now have unpozzed, HRT-free access to the kernel's mailing list archives. This is probably a stopgap that's in place to not upset the old guard of kernel devs with their handmade fetcher scripts, but hey - whatever works.

Nothing catches me more off guard than when a game on steam runs under linux without any finagling. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

I hate that people listen to these faggots.
I don't know what Elon was replying, the context before that wasn't given. But his statement is correct. And why communism is such a shit idea.
Oh yeah and at the end he lets what it's really about for him slip. "Or just be trolls, no I don't want that"

I don't think any game I've tried to play has given me trouble on Steam the last two years, actually. And before that the one that did give me trouble was one which ran natively on Linux, which I had to manually set to run the Windows version through Proton instead because of a recurring issue with the Steam Linux Runtime. Proton really is very good.

I want to switch to Linux full time, but I'm always having issues on my main PC with my graphics always being a pain in the ass to deal with at my max refresh rate 165Hz. I have a 3080, but I always heard that Nvidia is a bitch to deal with when it comes to drivers on Linux. Would it be easier to switch to an AMD card instead, or has Nvidia gotten a bit better? I'm eyeing the 7900XT as a replacement potentially.

I find AMD to be more problematic, still get audio issues on my AMD systems from time to time. Haven't had an Nvidia problem using the proprietary drivers in a long long time. Just be sure to use a distribution that supports them so you don't have to download from Nvidia.

It used to be the case that Nvidia was awful on Linux (except for CUDA, which has always worked flawlessly) and AMD worked great out of the box. AMD still works great, but now Nvidia does too, though with a tiny bit of setup required (either installing a handful of packages and setting a kernel boot option if you're on a DIY distro, or toggling "use proprietary drivers" in the system settings if you're on a simpler distro).

If you have another drive lying around or are comfortable setting up a dedicated Linux partition, the best thing to do is try it out and see if there are any problems, ideally in whatever game you want to be sure works as expected.

Anecdotal, but I game almost entirely on Linux with an AMD setup and haven't had anything I would consider a major issue over the past two years.

This is probably one of the most annoying issues you can encounter with AMD GPUs: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2950
Only happens during near idle desktop usage, not gaming, but requires a monitor restart with desktops that can recover from GPU hangs. Without recovery support, say bye to your session.

Really enjoying Mint XFCE configured to look like Windows 95. Don't game much anymore, but most of my library is old and I hate Steam and refuse to use it, so I'm sometimes sol on compatibility.

has anyone used umu launcher to run windows games? https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher
