But don’t you see, the privatization makes it better. It allows the free market to innovate.

What could this mean? I’m at a loss.

VR on linux actually works just fine from my experience. I’ve never had a game not work. The big issue is just headset support. The HTC Vive and Valve Index are the only headsets with official drivers, since they were made by Valve. Standalone headsets, like the Quest for example, also work using ALVR. Anything else doesn’t really work. There are open source drivers but they’re not complete enough to be useable unless something majorly changed there since I last checked.

Bullshit. Actions speak louder than words.

Can confirm that yt-dlp works perfectly for TikTok videos

No marginalized group was ever granted rights because they asked for it nicely. I think death should always be avoided and I’m fully against the death penalty and torture but when violence is the only way, the oppressed have every right to use it.

Thank you for telling me about Podlet. I’ve been using podman-compose for all my containers but I’ve thought about converting them to systemd units. The only thing I’m unsure about is whether it’ll still be easy to access the container files. Currently I have a containers folder with a folder for each service inside it. Inside that, there’s the compose.yml and the folders with the container data. I map all container folders, with data that needs to be kept, to a folder that sits right next to the compose file. If it’s just temporary data (like caches), I oftentimes map it to a volume because it doesn’t matter if I lose it. Do you know if I can still do it like this (or in a similar way) if I use systemd units?

Until you hit the overflow and it starts getting smaller again

I meant to write OnlyOffice 😭
But thanks for pointing it out, I fixed it

Those distros are fine, I haven’t heard anything bad about them. The only distros I wouldn’t recommend are Ububtu and Manjaro (I can explain why if you want).

About Excel, it doesn’t work on Linux unfortunately. But you have some options. You can try LibreOffice and OnlyOffice (you can install them on Windows to try them out before switching) and see if they’re enough for your needs. There’s also a web version of Excel which you can use in your browser but it doesn’t have all the features. If you really need Excel, you can also try using a virtual machine with Windows and run it inside of that but dual booting might be easier for you at that point.

Makes sense. I think it’s similar to how email works, right?

I use podman too and I set up hardware acceleration for Jellyfin. I’ll update this with how I did it once I’m home.

Edit: Here’s my compose.yml (I use podman-compose):

services:
  jellyfin:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest
    container_name: jellyfin
    dns:
      - 9.9.9.9
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config:Z
      - ~/drive/media:/media:z
    devices:
      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri
    ports:
      - 8096:8096
      - 7359:7359/udp
      - 1900:1900/udp
    restart: unless-stopped

Kinda interesting to hear about this stuff as someone who grew up when everyone was already on WhatsApp (at least here in Germany)

So I’m not the only one who got that. What’s the point if it tho?
