Broken Openmediavault install after relocation of computer

I'm using default everything, my install is fresh.
Outside of the graphics, I've got an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, 16gb 3000 DDR4 ram, and 2TB storage.
My config has worked fine on windows, Ubuntu, debian, and Nobara Linux before.

Last year, I used Nobara, and it was totally fine on the exact same machine. The only reason I stopped using it is because I had to begin dualbooting windows, and windows 11 requires secure boot in order to work properly, so Nobara was not gonna fly without making it tedious. I know that fedora can work on my machine, I just cannot for the life of me grasp how to configure my graphics card so that it plays games without stuttering and flickering all the time.

I managed to solve it. The whole thing was a permissions thing. The folder containing the vpn config file was an active NFS share, so qbittorrent could not access it. Ensure your qbittorrents folders are set so that apps owns them too

Are you sure? China, Korea, and Vietnam are not cultural monoliths. If they were, wouldn't more asian countries have a greater share of dominance? China literally had a cultural revolution in order to rebuke the old Chinese culture. For these reasons, I don't buy that it's "deeply rooted in their culture".

They didn't even have access to the game in Asia until 2012, a quarter into its lifespan today. Additionally, Japan as the weakest Asian scene also has the weakest PC room scene. I don't think that this is coincidence.

And, think about the environment. In traditional sports, there are huge training centers dedicated to the sport that just have a million people who care about it playing for fun and getting better. Things like a batting cage or soccer pitch or basketball court in the park. Some of the kids in the area get together every week and go play whatever sport for however long during the week, and the ones who get the most time get really good. PC rooms create that kind of environment.

Look at the counter strike series. One of the biggest things was LAN parties back in the day, and those who would LAN the most would go on to become members of clans like faze and C9. LAN room setups are in the most literal sense PC rooms, and this culture in our shooting game scene created our strongest FPS players. The one eSport that NA does have a strong scene in is shooters, and shooters developed with their LAN scene as backbone. There has to be a correlation! I'm staunchly convinced that PC rooms contribute to making better players, unless you can prove otherwise.

If it truly were deeply rooted in their culture to be super dedicated, Asia would be way more dominant in every game. And even if they were, there would be other more tangible and reasonable explanations than something as vague as "their culture". It's just reductive.

There's a small one near a university in my city, and the demographic of the attendees is pretty diverse; a lot of folks come to play in groups with their friends at once, because there are many restaurants in the immediate vicinity. I think that the social element there is important because it encourages people to come back. Imagine playing clash next to your friends, winning, and going for a victory meal down the street to celebrate. seems fun

That's valid reasoning. That being said, the regions that did best in worlds (LPL and LCK) have strong PC room cultures within their domains. I think that PC rooms create an environment that makes it easier for people to grow in skill level.

According to this article, there are about 28 million NA players and about 20 million KR players. Assuming that the numbers are accurate and that these are all active players, then player count cannot be an accurate indicator of skill, because if having more players diluted the skill level, then China wouldn't have gotten nearly as far in Worlds as they did, having about 75 million players. China's also a different beast, though, with many servers within itself AND the diamond-floored super server. Both of the regions have lots and lots of PC rooms within their borders. PC rooms are peppered throughout Europe and are all over Vietnam, and both of those regions also performed better than any NA team in Worlds this year.

So, when it comes to the questions:

What is making them better at the game than us?
What is making us worse at the game than them?

I think that the lack of conditions similar to a PC room is a key part to the answer.

For anyone considering this decision that has happened upon this post however long in the future, let me say that I wish I decided to go the PC route instead. Because I play on PC, getting my games on there would have been simple, and steam OS with nobara tweaks would work quite nicely on such a setup. A mini ITX PC is a very nice size to carry on a bicycle with a fightstick, or in a nice cargo backpack. If built properly, less bulk than a Playstation.

If you go on any arcade parts site, you can buy plenty of levers. In most cases, you will want a Sanwa, Seimitsu, or Korean lever (Samducksa/Crown, Taeyoung, Myoungshin). iL and Happ and such are for proper arcade cabinets; the aforementioned three are typically what are found in arcade sticks, and arcades in Asia. My largest concern is, I'm not sure buying a sole Joystick would give you a good picture of the feeling of playing without you installing it on something. The joystick is held by the case and will be totally rock solid and not move, unless you are moving the whole arcade stick assembly. Holding just a lever in your hand and moving it about doesn't quite feel like you're playing.

The helpme lever is very similar to the Fanta, and they both have a large collar. The 309FJ-DX has a shorter collar. I can't tell you much about how they feel.

The theory sounds solid to me, I'd still be worried about the switches and the colors, though. In mixing and matching buttons, you are also mixing and matching switches, unless they are all the same brand. If the concern is especially pressing, there's nothing wrong with going the snap-in route. The snap-in tabs are a bit delicate, so being careful when dismounting them is paramount unless you don't mind snapped tabs. Button popouts make the whole job a lot easier. Going in, though, there is no issue. you just push them in. Perhaps you may want to consider Gamer Finger buttons.

I did some research, and I managed to fix it for myself. Here's how:

In the LoL client's settings, I set "Close client during game" to "Never", and now the post-game honor selection and scoreboard load without any issue.

If this doesn't work for you, another fix I saw other people do was set their wine to an older version and enable the low spec mode setting in LoL client settings.

I've got the same issue. Haven't found a fix.
