It sounds like you don’t necessarily like the idea of using a container (I tend to use podman, but most guides are for docker, so that’d probably be easier for you). From my experience, containerising things actually makes things a lot easier, especially in the long run, and getting started is a lot easier than it seems. You can probably find a ready-made guide to set up a plex or jellyfin container on Debian.
I’ve been happier worth with Bricscad, but I mostly just need it for designing stuff to 3d print, so your mileage may vary.
It’s also not FOSS, of course, but I haven’t yet found FOSS cad software that works for me.
Uh, if they want to use ROCm (kinda like CUDA, but for AMD), they do have to install it manually. It is available for some distros, so that hopefully shouldn’t be a problem.
I use tumbleweed on my desktop, but run arch on a secondary machine. From experience, pacman is much faster than zypper, even on a slower machine.
Perform better is pretty relative. My Pi 4 running home assistant is super responsive, while also using little power and being completely silent, but it only runs a network of zigbee lights and sensors, controlled by zigbee switches.
I agree that more power is necessary for any local voice applications, but depending on the use case, the pi probably isn’t worse than the alternatives.
Huh. I gotta admit that I never tried using it, but that does suck.
Is that necessarily bad, though? I always felt that the infrastructure around snap, and not the underlying technology, was what people had problems with.
Also, this feels like an appropriate time to shill for Aegis instead of Authy. Or any foss 2FA solution, really.
OwnCloud has been acquired by KiteWorks a few months ago. Doesn’t have to mean anything, but makes me feel cautious about it’s future.
Debian, Manjaro, Fedora, Endeavour, OpenSuSE Tumbleweed.
I’m on opensuse tumbleweed. It might just be that all the apps I use are Wayland. I’ll take a look when I’m back home, currently I’m on a trip visiting family.
I am using Gnome with Wayland and a 1440p display, and it seems to work surprisingly well. Or maybe I jut got used to dealing with the problems, and would be surprised at how well things work under a different DE.
I’d argue that the problem with non-physical releases is mainly conservation, and software pirates seem to have that covered for PC releases.
Now if you wanna buy a game, DRM free is of course preferable. I buy as much as I can from gog, because I don’t want to blindly trust any corporation, regardless of their past record. After all, valve is set up in a way that gives them all the leverage.
