Maybe look into a WebDAV sync app.

VIA is at the firmware level. You can program it on a personal computer then plug it into your work computer.

I just came across Expanddrive. I haven’t used it, but it looks amazing.

Rustdesk works great, and it’s self hosted.

Wow. What am I reading.

How does it have a large attack surface? I thought being immutable reduced the surface.

You’re going to love Bazzite.

My heart is always with Debian, but Bazzite is a surprisingly useable immutable OS. I would suggest using it for your core suite then use Distrobox w/ Debian for any apps outside of that. It’s so snappy!

Try bazzite.

Ah yes. I’m on X11 due to Nvidia and some remote applications for the foreseeable future.

It’s not that bad. I run Davinci resolve in a Distrobox.

Edit: and when I say it’s not that bad it’s basically flawless

Wayland is non-stop issues.

I feel like every time I blink there’s a better and easier way to do things.

If this could connect to Oogabooga for LLM control, that would be pretty cool.

Use home assistant.

Plex has a known and very old issue of improperly transcoding 5.1 audio to stereo and dropping the center channel. It makes movies seem super quiet. That’s why I switched.

And you can always send me a question if you run up against something. I’m not an expert by any means but I’ve made it my daily driver for a couple years now.

I don’t feel like the Linux communities were really a friendly space in the early 2000s. And the Ubuntu forums felt like they became powerful in 2010. I played around with Linux briefly in 2005 and felt like there wasn’t much support for solving certain issues.

And when in doubt, ask chatgpt. It may give you a wrong answer but it can point you in the right direction.

Now you have the internet and arch wiki.

I love it, it works. Running a server is super easy and the speed is quite nice for a free piece of software.
