This is also super useful for people deciding what to buy, when the vendor would obviously not be keen to let you plug a USB into their device and boot into the scary Linux

Will this work even if the drives are different sizes?
I tried Tempo and it seems to do the job well!
There’s some features I wish were present, like selecting multiple songs, but the feature list is quite good regardless
Not a pro by any means, but I mount my internal drives at /mnt. Its also where I mount my NAS
AFAIK mount point doesn’t matter
I haven’t been able to use it. I’m on Endeavour with KDE and every time I try to log in with Wayland I get a black screen and a very laggy mouse. The programs I open have streaks of black through them and are also laggy Not sure if I have some weird stuff installed in the background, but I’ve had to go back to X11
As AMD, Intel, Tenstorrent, and other companies develop better hardware, more software developers will be inclined to design for these platforms, and Nvidia’s CUDA dominance could ease over time.
This seems a bit optimistic to me. CUDA is currently the de facto method of utilising a GPU’s power efficiently. This makes them an easy choice for anyone with serious compute power needs. The other manufacturers are fighting an uphill battle trying to create an alternative that won’t be used until it is definitively better.
This just seems like a catch 22 to me
Bigger number better
…probably
You can install Heroic Games launcher, which is an alternative Epic + GOG front-end (it also works on Windows and is apparently better than the real thing). You can use it to manage the compatibility layers similarly to Steam, but in my experience its function is on a game-by-game basis
As another commenter has said, go through ProtonDB and check all the games you can’t live without
I’ve used phind a few times and it’s pretty good. I’m not sure if it’s open source, though
Not a whole lot of experience distro-hopping here (went from Ubuntu to Endeavour and haven’t really changed since) but from what I know it seems like most distros have their place. Arch is highly customisable and all rolling release distros are good for gamers and those who need the latest software. Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and other LTS distros are good for servers and newcomers (fewer big updates and therefore fewer potential crises)
For the sake of answering the question, I’d say Ubuntu is my least favourite. Its pretty bloated, and then there’s the whole snap fiasco
I have no mouth and I must scream
Not an expert, but to me it sounds like the issue is that “on demand” uses the iGPU for regular desktop parts and calls for the dGPU when you switch to something requiring more horsepower
The problem with this might be that the execution of this is slow and there’s a few seconds between the iGPU switching off and the dGPU switching on
If its really intelligent it will know better and just leave us to suffer
This is like how in Boku no Hero Academia where the first quirk was a baby that was born emitting light
Boku no Hero Macaque
Endeavour is fairly easy to run and maintain, aside from not having a GUI package manager installed by default (I say this as someone who has been running it for about 2 years now, and still considers themselves a Linux noob)
One underrated feature is the Welcome tab, which also notifies you if there’s some critical error in the latest update so that you know to use caution and take certain steps when updating
Other than that, running yay
or sudo pacman -Syu
is most of the maintenance you’ll need to do
Off topic a bit, but how is the Nvidia + Wayland experience?
Are the horror stories true? Do you use multiple monitors?
Thank you for the suggestions, I managed to find a solution that works for me.
Setting up hardlinks to the original file in other directories through Linux allows the data to be accessed from both locations and is detected by (seemingly) every OS!
This is probably a very clunky way to do it, but it works for what I’m currently looking for.
Yes, I’ve done that.
I wanted to be able to have all my movies in one folder while having shortcuts to those movies in genre-specific folders. All on the same NAS
And would I be able to send files from the Android phone to the server?
You could look into low profile GPUs. Off the top of my head, the 3050 is probably the strongest of those, unless you’re willing to look into the A-class cards
