I think about this often. Follow me here because this may seem convoluted but I don't have a better way of explaining it out loud. These are just my two cents.

There is a very consistent "power fantasy" that is delivered to men from early childhood. There is a core logical fallacy to all these power fantasies tied directly to their gender which is essentially a birthright to power.

The harsh reality is that there are no gender based birthrights to power IRL.

Instead of truly observing power dynamics, they create a coagulated malformed response which is to construct the thing they were promised (power by birthright). "Manosphere" content provides a framework of loop holes and logical fallacies to get them closer to the right to obtain power simply via subscription. The subscription process is mostly performative often via mimicry aligned role models. This aligns extremely well with fascist agendas and is easily exploited.

I've seen this manifest in weird arguments like "Women only have rights because Men give it to them" as if it's some sort of kindness or a handicap in a sport to award others with basic rights.

Its all very gross

Came here for this comment 😄

I've been gaming on Linux for two years now. I've moved on from Nvidia and purchased two AMD GPUs in that time (5700xt and 7800xt). Now that Nvidia is is also providing better support via their drivers, my desktop sporting the GeForce 3090 will also be moving to Bluefin in October.

This started a few months ago across the board. It's the dumbest realignment of their application stack ever ... With that being said, I think it's clear that the future of Microsoft is going to be them attempting to move the entire OS experience into the cloud no matter how misguided or unwarranted that approach may be.

I watch a lot of videos to this day from Bryan Cantrill (Oxide computer) and he's got some wild stories about the forking of illumos and how difficult it was to essentially "save" Solaris. His company uses their own illumos based distro called heliOS on their oxide computer rack.

Piracy is essentially a form of archivism. The digital age literally ended scarcity in digital media and these people were like "well that won't do".

Not verified, steam deck players = free beta testing.

It's free real estate.

I keep recommending BazziteOS but Jorge Castro over at the universal Blue project has a really good point "Most people don't install their operating systems" and that plain fact is what stops people from moving to Linux.

Valve has momentum because they are selling you a system with the OS already on it. Sell more gaming PCs with pre installed Linux on it and the support will follow. Valve's first attempt at getting Linux based gaming hardware out there failed but that didn't stop them and the real push is coming this time.

If you do install your OS (most people here have once or twice), try Bazzite out. I'm running it on the minisforum Bd790i with a radeon 7800xt and it works great!

Cool. I was just looking to see if someone had a guide because I'm trying to understand the pitfalls of doing it this way and I'm curious if anyone else has opened up Jellyfin to the world.

Does anyone have any helpful guides on setting up jellyfin with a certificate so they can privately host it while also keeping it secure and up to date? I think if using docker it would make sense to use compose and configure traeffic proxy and use let's encrypt for certificates.

Plex takes care of this for you with their cert and authentication systems. I feel like if user management and secure authentication is easy to set up then that is the primary reason to leave Plex. If I can just hand out accounts to anyone whom I would like to access my instance with ease then my family members could easily access it.

If one was to host from the home, using something like tailscale to host it online with forwarding a port would also be ideal.

Thanks

I just want to make sure I read this correctly. It says that if you're a Plex plass holder already that remote streaming changes won't affect your service. This means that if I have the lifetime subscription and host my own server than users whom have not payed for Plex pass can continue to access this server without issue correct?

This is True. I spend most of my gaming time on Bazzite with a 7800xt Nitro+ GPU. Works great 10/10.

I've bought two AMD GPUs in the last two years but I still have three Nvidia GPUs that I use. The cost of moving everything over to AMD is high so it just takes time to get rid of old hardware as a best case scenario.

Honestly this is exactly the product I was waiting for minisforum to make. I think this is actually a pretty solid move.

Bazzite is amazing. Pretty much all Ublue based distros have been the most painless Linux experience I've had in years. The biggest problem I think most users have is the Dominance of Nvidia graphics hardware. Nvidia does "work" but it's much more unstable than the much more stable AMD driver. I bought an AMD 7800xt and I'm pretty much problem free now.

Since I have so many Nvidia cards I'm regularly testing Nvidia under Bazzite on a spare 2070super. It's impressive but it's not ready for average users.

I'm pretty sure the final version of Windows 10 LTSC 2021 had its window of support shortened to five years to align with the end of support. Only windows 10 LTSC 2019 has 10 years of support. If you're using LTSC 2019 for gaming please be aware you will be missing any features released for windows 10 that were released after version 1809. This will harm game performance for a lot of newer titles and hardware.

This is funny. I feel like I see a "which arch is better" post almost everyday now.

A lot of people I think would be well suited to be on Bluefin or Bazzite. I really can't sing the praises of it enough. It has a ton of well developed resources and the Appstore is flatpak centric. It really does give you that ChromeOS like experience for the average user.

End users should really be nowhere near package management. They should just be able to run the apps they want and expect them to work.

Sure. When selecting Nvidia GPU under Bazzite you will see this message "Steam Gaming Mode support is available for your hardware in beta, but multiple known issues exist in these builds. Please note that the majority of bugs cannot be fixed except by your GPU manufacturer."

BazziteOS for the win. I used ChimeraOS for a year but Bazzite has been much better. It comes out of the box with most everything you need.

With that being said for gaming, Nvidia driver is very early days and is considered experimental under Bazzite. I have several Nvidia GPUs and I regularly test Linux with a 2070+Intel tiger lake machine to see what works and what doesn't.

I purchased a Radeon 7800xt for Bazzite and it's extremely stable. This will probably be my recommendation going forward.
