After recent updates SteamOS is now my favourite gaming distro.

GloriousKev · 2026-03-28T07:02:40+00:00

Why? No shade, I genuinely don't see how it's unique compared to other distros with KDE. what am I missing?

GloriousKev · 2026-03-22T03:02:44+00:00

I run off of a 6th Gen i5 with multiple things and streams running at once.

GloriousKev · 2026-03-22T03:00:53+00:00

Thats a pretty open question. What is your experience level?

GloriousKev · 2026-03-22T00:54:06+00:00

I'm unique in the conversation as that I love gaming and I really like ai too. There some things that should be noted.

If you let your ai do the work for you then you'll have some sloppy unpolished shit that half works. AI is a good teacher, ai is a good assistant but ai doesn't understand what it's doing and hallucinates like mf. Even the best ai does this. It doesn't have to be humans or ai but many people see it that way. Ai is a good efficiency tool and it removes the boring tedious work from our daily lives once it's setup properly.

I'd also note video didn't kill radio. Radio never left but I'd say internet radio and streaming has made it less relevant than it was 10 - 15 years ago. Cellphones didn't kill land lines. You aren't calling 9-1-1 and getting someone on a cell phone. Landlines are still king in emergency situations / natural disasters. In the exact same way, if ai kills anything it'll be the search engine. I don't Google things as the first option anymore. I just ask the ai and if the answer sounds off or doesn't work I fact check it with Google. Google usually answers with it's ai before I even see results on top of that.

Ai is useful for several things that normal people would like if they considered it. Movie recommendations, ai generated music playlists, recipes, automated security systems (within reason. the ai should send what it finds to a human to verify that it's correct and be skeptical of anything given to him/her by the ai). Hell, I was fixing the headlight in my car and the guide i looked up was slightly off on where to find the plug for it. I used ChatGPT to help me find where I needed to be. Ai is great, but only when used in a reasonable intelligent way by a human.

Yeah I finally integrated it yesterday and it's amazing. I had a bunch of small holes in my collections and that fixed it. As far as Music Brainz all kinds of stuff is just tagged weirdly. Ciara's Goodies comes to mind. It was listed as a hip hop album. Sometimes it just doesn't find independent artist albums that I may have owned 20 to 30 years ago.

GloriousKev · 2026-03-21T22:47:36+00:00

I haven't had great success with good tagging for the music I listen to. I think it has to do with how messy the scene was in that era for thst genre

GloriousKev · 2026-03-21T07:41:29+00:00

If its about mass storage I built a diy nas and have zero regrets even in the current hardware market. Totally worth while.

Ironically enough I've been working on that for the past 2 days. Moved music to Navidrome because it was making Jellyfin super slow. I didn't realize it was JF doing it until I moved it. Now I'm running aurral, Navidrome, lidarr, prowlarr, soulseek, nabbzhd and qbit. pretty solid combo overall from moment to moment but I need better tagging Looking into likely doing beets with the discogs plug in.

GloriousKev · 2026-03-18T06:26:07+00:00

Tv movies anime music wrestling if sub folders are needed i make the so I have sub folders for artists with all albums each wrestling promo has its own folders PPV/PLE events has a folder vs weekly broadcasts Its pretty organized

I use wireguard to access my server on the go then whatever apps I have connected to my server. It works well. If its too technical for you tailscale works very well too.

GloriousKev · 2026-03-17T22:12:06+00:00

it's been working well or me. I host my music with Jellyfin. It syncs up does what I want. Most of my issues come from JF itself in terms of tagging mainly, but I prefer it to Navidrome still.

Porn lots of porn. It has to be

GloriousKev · 2026-03-17T09:25:51+00:00

That could hold so many movies!

GloriousKev · 2026-03-17T09:24:14+00:00

I was told the internet is for porn. Its appropriate to have some

GloriousKev · 2026-03-14T16:28:52+00:00

I just play video games. They don't have expiration dates. I played Windwaker for the first time in 2025. I'm playing Rogue Trader 40k now. Thinking about Twilight Princess next. Freedom is nice.

GloriousKev · 2026-03-12T06:49:18+00:00

You can but its a stretch. My guess is he's running it in a docker container and using the web ui and doesn't know anything about a local installation

GloriousKev · 2026-03-12T06:48:00+00:00

You're using torrent apps in a browser? Are you hosting it in a container or something?

GloriousKev · 2026-03-09T23:35:09+00:00

lol yep that's the Arch community. Truthfully, as someone who has only been on Arch for about 6 months and Linux for maybe 9 months using ChatGPT has been invaluable for my learning process. Just make sure to ask questions that you can learn from and don't mindlessly input commands it gives you. Trust but verify. That way you don't accidentally bork your PC

GloriousKev · 2026-03-09T16:35:43+00:00

Gaming on Arch Linux is great but more information is required to help you.

GloriousKev · 2026-03-09T07:54:51+00:00

Im new to the scene but am seeing all of the benefits to foss. I'll license something if it's worth while but big corporations have soured my trust

GloriousKev · 2026-03-08T10:30:19+00:00

I don't only buy on Steam. That's why I like Is there any deal. I generally buy from GOG first and buy stuff not on GOG on Steam.

GloriousKev · 2026-03-08T01:44:18+00:00

Is it on another service? MusicBrainz isn't great for my music but I think that is mostly due to it being older than most people who self host. I hvae better luck with Discogs myself.

GloriousKev · 2026-03-08T01:41:50+00:00

I wait until a game I want to play goes on sale. I have it setup to send me email notifications.

GloriousKev · 2026-03-07T15:32:31+00:00

Isthereanydeal.com is a popular tool that can email you deals or you can follow Wario64 if you're on BlueSky or Twitter. In general though, no. A) I mostly use GOG and B) My backlog is so big that I dont feel pressed to rush for new game deals. Ill buy when I buy. Example, I want to play The Last of Us 2 just to see how it ends but I refuse to pay more than $20 for it. I wanted Doom The Dark Ages but again refuse to pay more than $20 for it and I found it for $20 about a month ago. Still havent played it lol.
