There’s a huge difference between making a PCB and a modern processor.

I would actually love to take 3300! That sounds fun.

As for 4020, writing performant code in Python typically means calling into libraries that are written in C.

Prism Launcher shows up in flat hub (the “app store” that comes with Bazzite).

It manages different Minecraft instances of different versions, and helps manage mods, texture packs, shaderpacks, etc.

(But in general, all versions of Minecraft: Java Edition support Linux, and most if not all Minecraft launchers, including the official one, support Linux)

Yes Steam is the main tool Im using to run games, even non-Steam games.

Bazzite also comes with Lutris which will set up some wine wrappers for you, which work fine, but Steam gives you things like Steam Input. I’ve never seen a controller mapper as good as Steam Input.

I don’t know what the performance comparison between Valve’s Proton and current FOSS variants of Wine is.

My current workflow is to use Lutris to manage games from GoG (no GoG Galaxy on Linux). I install them via Lutris, and then add them as non-Steam games to Steam, which lets me use Proton and Steam Input. The only game I’ve installed so far that I’m not running through Steam right now is Minecraft.

The only loss is I can’t run Destiny 2 on Linux due to its invasive anti-cheat, but I was on the verge of quitting D2 anyway. Note that some games with invasive anti-cheat can still be run through proton, it depends on the specifics.

I’m trying out Bazzite, and although it does take a little tweaking sometimes, I haven’t encountered a game I can’t run yet, including features like HDR and DLSS.

Thanks I’ll look some of these up and maybe I’ll understand why people hate systemd

Windows was developed by a huge corporation for profit, and that drives enshittification, because eventually they have all the users they think they can get, so instead they start trying to milk those users for more $$$.

Linux is developed by a bunch of nerds who are doing it as a hobby, or because they weren’t happy with the other options. This type of group does not leas to enshittification.

I’m with you I don’t really get the hate for it, nor have I seen a suggested alternative.

Probably necessary for driving in Boston

I found an older version that sounded like it should be compatible on the OpenRGB webpage but it didn’t work. I suppose I should look further. Thanks for the tip!

It’s working for just setting static colors, but when I try to install plugins it doesn’t show up at all. I wanted to use HardwareSync and maybe Effects.

I started trying out Bazzite yesterday and it’s been great so far! HDR is not as simple to get working as their marketing would make you think, but once you know what to do it’s not so bad.

Al’s I’m having trouble getting OpenRGB working correctly.

But other than that it’s been pretty good. It’s harder to tweak than Ubuntu (what I was previously using) but works much much better out of the box.

It doesn’t look like it works very well. If I’m reading their results section correctly, it works less than 20% of the time on real world problems.

They did train a model specifically for decompiling.

I launched 2 million people into your mom last night

I have broken off one of the door handles on my car.

Some of those services are pretty easy to set up, some might be more complicated. You’d have to look around for open source projects for those services and see if you can find ones you like. It will take more time to get it initially set up than to maintain, but expect to fix something that breaks every once in a while.

As for cost, probably like a few hundred to a thousand USD can get a reasonable computer for this. You don’t need a GPU, but want a decent CPU, plenty of RAM, and a LOT of storage. Look for companies auctioning off old servers.

Loosely I’d say expect this project to be a whole hobby.

Because OP is doxxing themselves

As the result of a single misconfigured security setting on my Android, I was locked out of my Google Account on my phone AND all of my PCs.

Just a heads up on what you are getting yourself into, if you fuck up your self hosted setup badly enough there is no recovery.

That isn’t necessarily intended to scare you off from self hosting, just that the first and most important lesson to learn is to have a good system of backups that are backed up automatically, are easy to recover from, and are separated enough from other copies of the data that if something goes terribly wrong one copy will survive.

The bottom line is simply a lamer line IMO
