  • This user to be Ubuntu. I think I see probably something like SteamOS maybe being a standard in the future since many who stay on windows are doing so for gaming reasons, and that's the best prebuilt distribution for gaming.

  • Problem is you need the vehicle for your needs. Some people like to camp. Some like to cruise the city. Some have kids and need something that can qualify to install X amount of seats. It's quite crazy some of these things... car seat limitations and trailer towing capacities can really drive up the costs.

  • Ya loans are the way most people do these things. Or they love out of their vehicles. It's crazy. Meanwhile I'm driving a vehicle from year 2000 that I've owned outright since 2009. Most I spent on a major repair was 6k. I'd be blown away if my total cost of ownership, including maintenance was over 25k. Unless you're making 160k a year with no dependents I don't know how these people do it.

  • Same. I even tried it and it's really cool, and at that price point I would... but meta. I even heard at one point they forced you to log in with your facebook account to use it. Wtf? I don't even have one. So basically I'll wait for the valve index 2.0. VR is not mature yet and they all have quirks and trade offs.

  • I get what you're trying to say, but at the same time the corps say "fuck our customers". You're a number. They don't want you to have anything and they just want your money. Look at Amazon pulling purchased books from kindle users. And they're not the only ones.

  • Not trying to sell you on it, you do what works best for you. Truenas scale is an operating system built on Debian. There will be no packages for it. It's hard to explain until you start using it. I came from VMs on truenas core for many years and it was annoying to migrate to docker but after I used it for a while I liked it a lot more. It's hard to explain without just using it, so if you're not into playing around and what you have works great, then great. I've been working with jails and VMs and containers for well over 15 years since I work in IT so I've played with big and small systems. There are definitely some annoyances when it comes to the VM approach.

  • Your data footprint would be less. Maintenance is a breeze. If you update your image and it breaks, just roll it back. Less consumption of resources. No need to divide your storage and ram for VMs. There are millions of docker images so you can start something new in seconds. And the learning curve isn't too bad if you're on truenas scale. Truenas core is a NAS operating system built on freebsd (Unix), and truenas scale is built on Linux. Both use ZFS for the underlying storage.
