Hahaha good one!

I’m on Slowroll though.

Same. It’s pretty cheap, comes with unlimited free traffic and is just simple to use. Supports many ways to access it, including BorgBackup.

Not sure if I understand you correctly.

Your goal is to have a single (1) computer that replaces all computers you currently have by essentially virtualizing different systems?

You get downvoted because people here tend to dislike Apple (which is fine), but that’s actually what happened.

The iPad (and eventually Android tablets) basically ate up the market share of Netbooks very quickly. Steve Jobs introduced the iPad as a Netbook alternative as a device class between a smartphone and a (full-sized) notebook/desktop.

Not the best example as Cyberpunk 2077 will get an official macOS release soon (and it works via translation layers right now as well), but yeah Linux is obviously miles ahead of macOS in terms of game compatibility.

I don’t think any sane person buys a Mac specifically for gaming. Aside from game compatibility, you’d need to spend a lot of money on an M4 Max or M3 Ultra to get graphics performance in the realm of “mid-tier” dedicated GeForce/Radeon GPUs.

But if you buy a specced out Mac Studio with 512 GB of RAM and whatnot for machine learning and it happens to be decent at playing (compatible) games, heh, why not?

The best Windows is Wine ;)

Why don’t they bundle the browser itself in the Flatpak and update it via the default Flatpak update mechanism?

Fabric with some performance-enhancing mods is a great choice as well, yes! I’ve been wanting to test it on my server for a while now, just haven’t got around to it yet.

Paper changes some of the more quirky vanilla redstone behavior, although - again - it’s very configurable so some of that original behavior can be restored.

I’d mostly base it on which plugin/mod ecosystem you prefer/require.

World simulation (ticks) is single-threaded, but things like world generation are multithreaded. I’d recommend Paper as server software as it’s more performant out of the box (vs. vanilla) and configurable (ex. how many threads world generation is allowed to use).

If you host multiple worlds I recommend spinning up a Paper instance for each world separately and connect them with Velocity.

Ryzen 7000 should have better single-threaded performance than your i5-9500 but as it’s a VM ymmv depending on whether Sparked Host overprovisions their machines.

Couple of years, yeah.

They run their own registry at lscr.io. You can essentially prefix all your existing linuxserver image names with lscr.io/ to pull them from there instead.

With help from Valve developers and some features still missing, most notably hardware-accelerated video en-/decode.

Until it starts breaking, like it did for me upgrading from Fedora 39 to 40 for example.

Or until you try to bind mount a volume of a container and need to use z or Z flags.

The “advantage” compared to a simple Linux USB is that it saves the exact state of the VM I guess.

Meh, I’d rather open the applications I need again (or let my DE restore them) than running a VM just for that reason.

Does this happen with the network cable unplugged?

Not on the internal display. You can set the refresh rate, but it doesn’t adjust dynamically based on content (which is what VRR does).

No, via the internal display.

Oh Bazzite is great, no doubt about it.

But it’s not endorsed/supported in any way by ASUS so ROG Ally (X) compatibility isn’t a given. ASUS could release a firmware update tomorrow that breaks compatibility (very unlikely of course).

No touchpads. OOTB experience questionable and Bazzite is a community project, compared to first party support from Valve for the Deck.

And the display isn’t definitely better. Yes it’s 120 Hz, higher resolution and VRR, but the Deck’s OLED has proper HDR support and 90 Hz is probably enough for this type of device (as is the resolution, although I’d take a higher res screen as well for 2D games). The main thing that the Deck’s screen is missing is VRR imo.
