Problem with this is that it's really hard to figure out whether some update to some minor library is going to affect an application. Sometimes you don't even know which applications are using that library.

I legitimately haven’t had a windows update take more than 5 minutes during the reboot phase for years.

I wasn't just talking about the reboot phase...

Downloading gigabytes worth of updates, waiting for them to install, rebooting, see more updates, reboot again takes WAY more than 5 minutes.

Your containers show up in Cockpit under the "Podman containers" section and you can view logs, type commands into their consoles, etc. You can even start up containers, manage images, etc.

Are there any tutorials on how to do this from Cockpit?

I have not done this personally, but I would assume you need to create a bridge device in Network Manager or via Cockpit and then tell your VM to use that. Keep in mind, bridge devices only work over Ethernet.

There is occasional weirdness if you don't powercycle though. In particular, certain KDE updates will make the desktop misbehave until you reboot. I get where you're coming from though. Quick updates and the ability to decide when you want to restart means that I have no qualms about updating frequently.

I am on Arch too and pacman -Syu is usually a snack I have with my morning tea.

Yeah, I pay for Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime and yet, I am still downloading shows that are on those services because their shitty DRM schemes limit me to 720p. It's insanity.

I am using it as a migration tool tbh. I am trying to get to rootless, but some of the stuff I host just don't work well in rootless yet, so I use rootful for those containers. Meanwhile, I am using rootless for dev purposes or when testing out new services that I am unsure about.

Podman also has good integration into Cockpit, which is nice for monitoring purposes.

I mean, I don't think I would mind forced updates if they didn't take so damned long and fail half the time. And then, just when you think you've finished installing all updates, you reboot and there's more updates! Why can't they just install it all at once?

Plus, after each major update, Microsoft wastes your time by advertising to you about Edge, Office 365, and OneDrive before they even let you get back into the desktop.

Forced security updates is addressing a symptom but not addressing the root cause, which is that the Windows update process is just painful for a myriad of reasons. In Linux, I run one command, wait 5 minutes, reboot, and I am back to work.

It isn't that much better. I use it as drop-in docker replacement. It's better integrated with things like cockpit though and the idea is that it's easier to eventually migrate to rootless if you're already in the podman ecosystem.

podman-compose is different from docker-compose. It runs your containers in rootless mode. This may break certain containers if configured incorrectly. This is why I suggested podman-docker, which allows podman to emulate docker, and the native docker-compose tool. Then you use sudo docker-compose to run your compose files in rootful mode.

If you use firewalld, both docker and podman apply rules in a special zone separate from your main one.

That being said, podman is great. Podman in rootful mode, along with podman-docker and docker-compose, is basically a drop-in replacement for Docker.

Yeah I am getting this offset bug as well. It works if you enable the native window frame in the Customize settings though, but I do miss having my tabs at the very top of the window.

The recoil is fine, at least with a mouse. I am feeling the reduced ammo a lot though and it's made the gun decidedly less fun to use.

Yikes, the comments section on that blog is cancer. People really need to wake up to the fact that games being multi-platform is ALWAYS good for end users. I don't know why people insist on identifying with just one side.

Agreed. Breaker was the only weapon that felt..."normal" as far as normal goes in other similar games. The rest feel like ineffective peashooters. To hear that its been nerfed is a bit disappointing, ngl.

They'll definitely do it, just a matter of time. Once sales drop, they'll release on Steam for a second wind.

Does it have any features missing in the open driver?

You can see the differences in the official README here: https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/550.54.14/README/kernel_open.html

The main difference for me is the inability to preserve video memory during suspend and hibernate. Without it, sleep and hibernate will cause all sorts of weird graphical glitches upon resume.

There's no way to set it as default completely. You can set it as default for titles that Valve hasn't explicitly overriden, but if Valve decides that a certain game works with Proton 8 or Hotfix, it will automatically install those. I really wish there was a way to force Experimental in all cases.

Ardour works fine with Pipewire and Pipewire-jack, so you no longer need to keep switching between pulseaudio and jack now. It's pretty seamless.

God, it's like they don't want RCS to succeed.

I am so happy power-profiles-daemon now sets the CPU driver instead of only setting the platform_driver when it is present. It was a big pain point of mine.
