Fedora Kinoite, because it fits my workflow the best and has a nice mixture of stable and leading edge.

Everything I run was containerized either way (Flatpak, Docker or Podman) long before I switched to an immutable distro.

I have lots of different development environments for various versions of different programming languages that are incredibly easy to setup, throw away and recreate with toolbox without having to dive into the language specific tools for creating virtual environments (venv, conda, ...). On regular Linux/Windows systems I end up at a point after a few years where there is junk laying around everywhere from 6 different PHP versions, 7 gcc variants and 8 .NET versions.

I was on Fedora KDE before that and the main reason for choosing it was that Ubuntu/Debian/Mint were too old to include firmware for my GPU. Arch and derivatives are on the opposite side of the spectrum and are too new for my taste, I'm fine with waiting a few weeks for .1 versions to release with bugfixes.

As for why not Bazzite or Aurora: Because I wanted to be as close to the original (Fedora & KDE) as possible. The modifications those distros make (and I need), I can do myself in a few minutes.

I do recommend Bazzite or Aurora for less experienced people though, they have a lot of tweaks that Kinoite is really lacking. Kinoite, just like the Fedora KDE variant has a lot of polishing issues that quickly become gigantic obstacles for beginners (Nvidia drivers, Flathub repository, H264/H265 codecs, missing udev rules, ...)

I loved my Lumia 1520, but it just doesn't hold a candle to a modern Android phone with LineageOS installed. Both in functionality and in privacy.

They have a guide for how to set things up in a Proxmox LXC: https://games-on-whales.github.io/wolf/stable/user/quickstart.html

what's to stop me from just selecting Finland and entering bogus info?

The petition needs to be signed with the eID of a EU country, a EU passport or a EU identification card in most countries.

Unless you have one of those, you can't sign the petition with bogus info.

Not sure how countries that don't have those handle it.

Another cool option is Games on Whales: https://games-on-whales.github.io/

Altough you probably have to run it in a privileged LXC.

the Samsung car moving robots are kind of amazing.

Apparently it's Hyundai, not Samsung. The article mentions Samsung and then links to an article about Hyundai's robots.

Nonetheless, those things are surprisingly fast. Assuming they work as well as in that presentation.

Proton-GE is available as Flatpak directly: https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam.CompatibilityTool.Proton-GE

After installation it will be picked up by the flatpak version of Steam automatically.

If you use Steam in a flatpak, you can download the Proton-GE flatpak, which updates automatically.

Steam automatically uses the native version if one is available, unless you override the compatibility tool to be Proton instead of the Linux runtime on a per-game basis. Nothing changed in that regard.

I don't have a Behringer UV1 but I do have an UMC404HD and an UMC202HD. Both work flawlessly on Linux out of the box.

Doesn't work for me unfortunately, always falls back to CPU ever since the packages were split up.

Looks like you're right.

I switched to it when Alpaca stopped working on AMD GPUs and was under the impression it is open source.

Distrobox is much more suitable for installing RPMs on immutable distros, unless they need deep system access (e.g. Docker).

Bazzite even ships with DistroShelf for that purpose.

Just create a Fedora container for RPMs and a Ubuntu/Debian container for DEBs and install them there.

LM Studio is by far my favorite. Supports all GPUs out of the box on Linux and has tons of options.

Anyone wanna yell at me for being an idiot and doing everything wrong?

Not yell, but: Jellyfin is dropping HTTPS support with a future update so you might want to read up on reverse proxies before then.

Additionally, you might want to check if Shodan has your Jellyfin instance listed: https://www.shodan.io/

KDE already has remote desktop and global shortcuts implemented. It's applications that are lacking proper Wayland support.

It does!

If you want to actually digitally sign you can add a key in your OS and then go to "Tools -> Digitally sign" where you can choose a background image which you then can drag where you want to have it.

If you only want your written signature in there, you can create a stamp for it. Click on the arrow beside "Yellow Highlighter" (or whichever tool you have selected) in the top right corner. Select "Configure Annotations" and hit "Add...".

Make the type a stamp, give it a name like "Signature" and select an image you want to use. After that save and apply.

You can now select your stamp in the top right corner and place it anywhere by clicking or dragging over the PDF.

As a side note, depending on where you live a written signature in a PDF is meaningless at least in terms of legally binding documents.

Steam does as well.

I found out recently that KDE has a "Focus stealing prevention" in their settings and it has been glorious.

I see you don't only want people to feel old but also experience existential crisis.
