Not really news. It’s been floating around 2% for a while.

So you’re using Hyprland WM… I’m assuming to have a minimalistic Window Manager… But you want an app launcher.

No offense, but FFS just use a DE at that point. You’re just creating a DE with extra steps. KDE is nice and fairly lightweight.

I work for a company in Texas, USA. We actively discourage Windows being used in our organization and push people to use macOS or Linux.

When Microsoft started enforcing online accounts to use my computer. It was then that I fully jumped ship. I was using Linux way before that for my media server, HTPC, etc., but it was that and the Steam Deck that made me finally fully jump.

pfSense = Firewall and router system based on FreeBSD. Has both open source and commercial versions. Built for SMB to Enterprise uses. Extremely powerful with all of the bells and whistles you’d expect from a professional firewall product.

OPNSense = Basically pfSense with a different UI. It’s a fork of pfSense. Much of the same capability, but is built by a smaller company.

OpenWRT = Replacement firmware for embedded devices (as well as x86). It’s open source WiFi router firmware that runs on tens of thousands of devices. Many vendors will even base their custom firmware on OpenWRT and put a different skin on it (GL.iNet, for example).

Make sure you switch your view to TV in the settings so that arrow key navigation works.

There is a default config it comes with. I just modified it. Their documentation is really good. If you’d like a copy of my config, LMK.

Icons I found online and then trimmed to the correct size and transparency.

Yes

I think the Windows Store app for Netflix supports 4k, but that would require running Windows…and that’s just icky.

The GitHub repo of the maintainer shows that the project is archived and dead.

Does that offer any advantages over the kiosk mode functionality? Looks like that repo was abandoned in 2023 and marked as archived.

Really? I thought Chrome added support on Linux for 4k.

I rarely stream Netflix and it’s only on there for my wife. If I want a show, I add it to my Plex library. Even if Netflix has it.

It’s a brand called Gimbi. It has a keyboard on the back and programmable IR buttons.

As long as your browser supports the DRM, it should stream 1080p and 4k fine. Chrome is best, unfortunately, specifically for Netflix.

It loads the web page in full screen kiosk mode in Chrome.

I run an HTPC that works fully with my AirMouse Remote I bought for it for ~$15USD. It uses Flex Launcher running on Debian.

Basically, I use it for Plex, some Netflix, retrogaming, and Steam.

I was in a similar boat to you were I looked at Plasma Big Screen, LibreElec, etc. Plasma BigScreen was too buggy or unmaintained. LibreElec is great if you want to play local stuff, but terrible for streaming things like Netflix. In the end I said “screw it. I’ll make my own”. Now it’s the center of my living room.

If they’re providing IPv6 to you, port forwarding shouldn’t be necessary most of the time for online gaming.

Are they allowing UPnP upstream?

If you’re getting a /64 from your ISP via DHCPv6, you likely need to send a prefix hint. I’d guess /60. Then you’ll have multiple /64s to work with on your inside interfaces.

Who is the ISP?

If you’re allocated DHCPv6-PD with a subnet, you don’t use a relay.
