It definitely can be disabled post-install but is much simpler to install without it at install-time, and has the added benefit of not pulling 2-5gb of other things that won’t be relevant to your use case. It’s not that the disk waste is that big of a deal, but any issues you run into will be that much easier to troubleshoot with fewer moving parts.


That wasn’t quite the takeaway I was going for. You can get a lot done on 8gb of ram. I was just trying to point out that it would probably be your first bottleneck as you started to scale out, and that you should consider using the server headless to make the ram you have go that much further.


All of those would be perfectly cromulent nodes for small containers. The first issue you’ll run into is the low ram. Some homelab projects would cause you to exceed 8gb, but the good news is if you’re using an external backend via NFS, you can always scale out (more nodes) or up(more compute per node,) later with minimal headache.
If you’re going to be memory constrained, don’t waste 1-2gb on a gui, install Ubuntu/Debian/whatever headless


What is the flag for this?
CGNAT does have a designated range by spec. 100.64.0.0/10, which covers addresses from 100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255. Technically they could be using any other private address space but it would be very uncommon in a modern ISP.


I suspect the difference in experiences is more due to x11/pulse(my custom systems) vs Wayland/pipewire(bazzite) than it is any particular GPU vendor or driver branch. Which I guess is a roundabout way of saying
Maybe?
Judging by the protondb entry on CS2 I strongly suspect I would have at least the audio issue regardless of gpu.


Appreciate the recommended fixes. I did find similar and was able to work through some of the issues with CS2 but I did that on instinct, and it wasn’t until I was halfway through troubleshooting game 2 of 2 attempted that I realized it wasn’t where I needed it to be for a remote support hand-me-down.
I did briefly entertain the idea of setting up rustdesk on it but the atomic nature + Wayland made unattended (read: “help I broke it and I can’t log in”) not really viable. By the time I got to “hrm, I could probably set up a reverse ssh tunnel into my homelab for persistent support?” I decided windows was probably the play here.


Like the other guy said I think this is a bazzite-induced problem. I have other Linux systems at home. My daily driver and my wife’s daily driver are both highly custom Ubuntu server derivatives, we both have Nvidia GPUs (3050, 5070), and neither of us have similar issues.
The reason I wanted to try bazzite was that I didn’t want to remotely support something super custom.


I just went to repurpose some old hardware for my nephew (4790k + 32gb ddr3 + rtx 3050) which I thought would make a very passable bazzite box. I put 2 drives in the test rig, one with bazzite Nvidia + kde and one with win11 running with the rufus tpm bypass hacks.
CS2 ran at ~40fps in bazzite with no sound once you got in game, win11 ran at ~100
Helldivers2 ran at ~50fps in bazzite with constant frame drops even after letting it precompile shaders. On windows it was a very playable 70fps.
I mainline Linux myself and I wanted bazzite to be the set-and-forget answer but it really wasn’t. I can’t in good faith hand that build over to an 12 year old with bazzite and that was super disappointing.


It’s much simpler than that actually. Nvidia makes a lot of money in feature licensing, particularly GRID/vgpu. If they fully open-sourced the driver they would have no method of enforcing license restrictions.


Live sports is what Disney is betting on.


If you can do a password reset and not lose data, it means the data was encrypted with a key that wasn’t your password. This is either a scam or a lie.


Unattended-upgrade does security-only patching once every 4 hours (in rough sync with my local mirror)
Full upgrades are done weekly, accompanied by a reboot
I find that the split between security patching and feature/bug patching maintains a healthy balance knowing when something is likely to break but never being behind on the latest cve.


Semantics aside, I believe the correct answer is “ribbed for death’s pleasure”


What if the booby trap had AI though?
(I’m joking please don’t hurt me)


My wife and I have both been using this setup for over a year and we’ve never looked back


My solution to this problem was to buy a $180 Dell workstation off eBay and install Ubuntu on that as my main workstation. My gaming desktop is now in the basement and runs sunshine. Moonlight over LAN is basically native, and solves the annoying reboot to switch tasks scenario.


If you ran a raw Ubuntu/fedora/whatever, you can use qemu/libvrt to run small virtual machines as required. You start and stop them with virsh, define them with simple xml files, and can easily automate the creation/destruction of them if desired.
If caddy is acting as a proxy for anything, you should not need to forward that port externally. Local host firewalls allowing traffic on your local network is sufficient.
Depending on your physical host layout you may be looking at an issue with nat reflection.
