Can it do video and audio calls?

Steam Machine

If the Steam Machine really takes off, I see way more people moving to Linux on their main rigs and laptops, and in turn making companies stop ignoring it, if it becomes a massive success I imagine:

• Mainstream games like FIFA supporting Linux
• Apps like Affinity Studio being distributed through Steam officially supported via Proton.
• Epic games will be the last company to keep ignoring Linux.
• Valve adopting Waydroid for SteamOS (for Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, etc)
• NVIDIA will redouble their Linux efforts.
• Greatest than ever VR support in Linux

Steam Frame

• Lots of Linux apps will work on Android desktop mode, like LibreOffice, Inkscape, etc.
• Linux phones will receive a lot more maintainers and funding.

Steam Deck

• Android apps on the Deck via Valve’s Waydroid
• Steam Deck 2 on ARM

Other

• New use cases for ARM will motivate RISCV to speed up it’s growth.
• KDE & Arch will receive more funding from Valve
• More contributions to the Kernel
• More Linux developers
• Increased security for Linux
• Flathub will grow

This could mean great news to Linux WhatsApp users.

Does it support VJOURNAL?

Does Briar ask for anything ?

On Windows, I used to install stuff using winget install whatever.

Waiting for the MS Store to load was a freaking anxiety needle injected into my veins. Unacceptable.

Bazaar on the other hand, it’s glorious. Blazing fast. So, I go with a GUI.

Also, there are tools like pandoc, ghostscript, caddy, imagemagick, and a gazillion others that are very powerful and quicker to do their job than waiting for a GUI to load.

And then, sometimes, there’s just no other way. Maybe it’s part of installing or updating something, or stuff like that. But a casual will either wait for a GUI, or just not do that.

I don’t think using the terminal is aspirational, it’s practical and it’s value is clear.

AFAIK Proton-GE uses VLC and Valve is from the US, where VLC is considered to breach some codec licenses I believe h264 decoding in particular. But I’m not sure, it’s been a long time since I’ve read about it.

Damn. It was supposed to make it even easier. What issue did you have with it?

Which one ? The one it had up until a few months ago ? I haven’t tried the new one yet.

This. Capy Reader is the best for me.

I’ve also tried:

• Feedflow
• PodAura
• ReadYou
• Feeder

I would go with Aurora or Fedora Kinoite. Atomic + KDE is unbreakable and easy for Windows casuals.

The only thing I dislike about Aurora is the illustrations baked into the distro. SDDM & Bazaar have them and can’t be changed. But it’s a freaking awesome distro.

I use it daily on my work laptop through an external USBC M2 NVME caddy. Today I had to move to a new work laptop and I just plugged it to the new one and that was it, my OS and all my stuff on my new work laptop in just a few seconds. No downtime. No drivers to update. Nothing.

The laptops have their factory Windows untouched. No warranty is void. IT is happy and I get to use Linux at work.

Plus, I can plug the drive to my home desktop PC running Bazzite and open files as if it was a regular thumbdrive.

This setup makes me so happy.

To fix the missing videos, use Proton-GE. Easiest method: Download it with Proton-up QT (bundled with Bazzite) then chose Proton-GE from the game’s Steam compatibility settings.

It’s because they use proprietary codecs that Valve can’t freely distribute.

I don’t understand how Bazzite didn’t work. But hey, I’m glad you found success anyway.

Idk about Matterhorn though

This is awesome, I want it. But it’s way beyond my technical level. I wish there was a Proxmox helper script.

Yeah, I absolutely agree with your POV. I guess you could post there anytime your question could be applied to a homelab.

Absolutely, the selfhosted communities are full of networking pros.

Every FOSS project:

• Discord
• Github

How does it compare to roundcube?

I hope they add JMAP.
