Infos about how Lemmy works (technical POV)
•If a community is hosted on instance A and a user that’s on instance B creates a post in this community, is the post hosted on A, B? Or are individual comments hosted on the instance of their respective authors?
Content is controlled by the instance on which a community was created (through the instance admin, local and off-instance mod accounts, as well as individual content authors). Posts and comments get mirrored to other instances with subscribers, and kept in sync by federation events. (Every time someone comments, votes, posts)
•what happens when your account gets deleted? Are all my messages deleted? Does this happen to all instances (it syncs the deletion?)
Your instance will delete all local content, and attempt to delete all content from other instances, as well. This may fail, for example if an instance has gone offline.
•do instances cache posts and comments posted on other instances? If so, RAM or disk?
All content in a community is mirrored to every instance with subscribers. Images may be cached, but are hosted primarily by the instance they were posted from.
•will having too many instances increase the load of all instances? (If they all have to sync?)
No. Instances only mirror content from off-instance communities which have at least one local subscriber. Instances do not need to host everything from every other instance.
•if I want to check the comments of a post, does my client ask this to my instance of to the instance of the author or to the community's instance?
Your instance. Assuming no federation issues, your instance will have a complete copy of the content.

It should just be a matter of forwarding the righ subpath in your reverse proxy.
There should be a page for most reverse proxy setups in the jellyfin docs.

SyncPlay.
It's a people icon in the top right in most clients that support it.
Users can set up a group, and other users can then see and join that group. Any media played in the group is played on all clients in the group.
Considering you're fighting this argument on three+ fronts, I don't think you can lay the blame of deciding to waste time, on me.
I can't help you see the point of an analogy, if you insist on fixating on the irrelevant parts you can inconsequentially dismantle while willfully ignoring the actual point.
I'm sorry it took me so long to say it plain, I guess.
VR works on linux. That is indisputable.
As in the software. No part of a linux OS prevents the necessary components, game engines, graphics drivers, etc, from functioning. It runs. You cannot claim otherwise without specifying an adverse environment.
If you're genuinely trying to convince me that your logic makes sense, please start by justifying double standards, keeping in mind that any genuinely excusable double standard, is by definition, not a double standard.
I'd rather you didn't, I tuned out when you acknowledged you're presenting a personal opinion, rather than a generally perceivable consensus.
I am sorry that the peripheral specifics of analogies confuse you, but please be aware that attacking them instead of the point itself, does not invalidate the logic that makes it applicable in illustrating a point.
If requiring every conceivable mode of operation to work, is not always required, then it cannot be arbitrarily sometimes required, "because you say so".
You will not find majority agreement on this.
Then you're going to have to acknowledge that your opinion disagrees with most others.
And that a lot of people are going to consider accounting for what a piece of software "prides itself in" when defining what kind of standards need to be met for features to be considered "ready", to be pretty weird.
VR works on linux. That is indisputable. The majority of people have VR hardware that works on linux. That is indisputable.
Linux is more than ready for gaming, but by your standards, it isn't ready for that either because some games use a level of anti-cheat so invasive, it will never work.
These games are "significant" in the same way WMR hardware is, if not moreso.
And that justifies the double standard?
Who decided this is where the goalpost is, except for you?
By that logic android doesn't work because you can't use it on a iPhone.
What's your point?
That microsoft didn't enable the necessary software components to run windows mixed reality HMDs on linux?
The reverbs never natively supported any open standards like SteamVR or OpenXR.
WMR headsets are the ones that have been the hardest to get going with open VR systems like Monado, but that doesn't mean that hardware that implemented sane standards isn't already working great, which it is.
That said, WMR is partially working at this time.
Bottom line, if you use something that is actually supposed to work, it does. If you don't, then yeah, the volunteer-created hacks to get things to work are still in progress.
In addition to what others have said... It is?
I can plug in my index, open steam, and run VR games, just fine.

PewDiePie has switched to Linux
He's kinda grown up with his audience. I dropped out of watching as I hit adulthood, then tuned back in for his "meme review" phase, where the inside joke was that everyone watching was a nine-year-old, when in reality he already had an aging audience.
He eventually grew bored with the format (and at that point already he made it clear he was doing it for fun, not because he needed to). The view counts steadily trended downwards as he switched to making videos he wanted to make, instead of ones that made money, as he was set by then.
At some point he ran a book-club style format, because he wanted to get into reading more. At least some portion of the fanbase was into that, but at that point he lost a lot of viewership.
Nowadays he seems to post very infrequently, and it seems to mostly be vlog-style content about family life and living in Japan.
That would probably be ReVanced, modded version of the official client. Fully supports both, just enable em from the settings.
I find it insulting you'd suggest I'd consider any part what that ass has said as even remotely reasonable.
What I said is that if you say 2+2=5 to enough people, you'll get some who will just go "ok yeah sounds right". They're still wrong. Two people being deluded together doesn't make it any less delusional.
The thing about giving everyone a megaphone, is that even when some use them to shout insane bullshit, if enough people hear it, there is inevitably a percentage who will think "yea that makes sense".
And now, we've got selective megaphones. Social media algoritms that curate our feeds for us so that people shouting insane bullshit have their content fed directly to people who believe insane bullshit. Separating the people who lie and their believers, from the people who call them out on it and bring actual logic into the discussion.
Algoritms discourage thinking because thinking takes effort, and effort tires you out. Tiring you out would eventualmy make you log off and take a break, but algos are trained to maximize screentime, so no thinking it is.

Did they bother to opt-in to battleye linux support yet?

The integrated GPU in your processor is not an additional bit of computing power your computer is not using, but special software that can use your processor to put out graphics if a dedicated GPU is missing. It is extremely inferior at processing graphics compared to the real dedicated GPU, and if you were running firefox to watch (Not decode) youtube, you would very likely see things like screen tearing as the processor struggled to keep up.
This is straight up wrong. You are confusing GPUs with display adapters.
iGPUs are an actual on-die GPU, consiting of their own hardware, present on the die in addition to the CPU.
They can game. They can hardware decode and encode media, etc. They are full GPUs. Some are even quite powerful, though usually you'll find them to be designed for everyday use and only light gaming.
The GPU in every recent game console is technically an iGPU, same goes for phones, and the Steamdeck.
They do not "translate" GPU instructions into running on the CPU cores.
That's software rendering, and is what CPUs do when there isn't an iGPU at all. (Though they'll still need a display adapter, which a GPU can act as. But a display adapter doesn't need to be a full on GPU. And iGPUs aren't just display adapters.)
Banned on local instances, is the same as being deleted. Banned by another instance means you won't show up on that instance.
Atop all this there's defederation.
My instance for example won't count votes or show comments from users with accounts on lemmynsfw, because we defederate porn. This happens even if I go look at posts in a community on another instance that does federate with lemmynsfw.
