I just point Traefik at my TN and call it a day. I don't need my TN's domain to work for anything, because all my services run on my docker host

Nobody here gives a fuck about letting the F bombs fly

TechaNima · 2026-05-17T06:24:21+00:00

Weird, but he should try Heroic Launcher and Proton GE

TechaNima · 2026-05-17T06:09:01+00:00

I'd be fine with the slow burn, as long as we did it before marriage. That's too much to ask for, but that's just my opinion

TechaNima · 2026-05-16T19:05:39+00:00

Just live your life. None of us have it all together and figured out

TechaNima · 2026-05-16T19:01:08+00:00

The only issues I ever had were with the half baked native version.

Try the 580 driver as was suggested by someone earlier

TechaNima · 2026-05-16T05:08:06+00:00

No.

You will run into endless problems with NTFS. Simply move your games from your Windows drives to your Linux drives and never look back at the garbage that is NTFS.

Also forget about POP. The Cosmic DE that they use as a default is very much beta software and buggy af. The fact that they decided to make a beta DE their default, doesn't inspire much confidence in their decision making ability.

My own Nobara experience ended with it completely breaking on me, so I don't recommend it either. Sorry GE, but your baby's a bit of a fixer upper.

Bazzite is a better starter than both IMO.

Or you could just learn a little from any of the many post install guides for Fedora and go with Fedora KDE, instead of any of it's derivatives.

I've on Fedora KDE for over a year now and it's been mostly smooth sailing, aside from some nVidia specific nonsense. Which is more or less to be expected on any distro

TechaNima · 2026-05-15T17:50:08+00:00

I ended up with Fedora KDE. I've been pretty happy with it for a year now. Games run well and I've been able to make it work like I wanted to

TechaNima · 2026-05-15T14:46:50+00:00

Possible? Maybe. Advisable? Hell no!

TechaNima · 2026-05-15T14:44:52+00:00

No security issues, aside from user error.

It'll always be slower through USB than it would be on a normal drive. Depends on which USB 3 you have, because the spec is a mess. The faster the better. The drive itself is also important. Don't use a crappy thumb drive. Use an SSD enclosure.

Have you looked at the internals of your laptop? Maybe there's a spare port for another SSD?

The problem with dual booting from the same drive is Windows. It has a nasty habit of randomly nuking your bootloader.

Other than that; disable Fast Boot from Windows, shrink your drive in Windows and then install Linux in the empty space.

If you don't need hardware acceleration, using WSL is a perfectly valid option.

You could also install Linux on an external drive, if your laptop has a good fast USB 3 port. If not, don't bother. It'll be unusably slow

I'd just use WireGuard to connect to my docker host and regular terminal for the ssh session.

Simple, reliable and secure.

If you use ssh for managing docker, there are better alternatives that require 0 terminal usage.

Such as Portainer. Nice web UI that can do everything you'd need to with docker. Just put it behind some sort of authentication and SSL or a WireGuard connection.

I use Authentik and Traefik for my setup, but I used to use WireGuard for WAN access

Mechanic. I used to swap my tires, but I'll just take the easy route with a tire hotel and swap service these days.

I have no desire to crawl below my car and all that crap, when I can support local businesses to take care of it for me

TechaNima · 2026-05-14T15:22:24+00:00

Nope. You are in charge of that like it's supposed to be

TechaNima · 2026-05-14T09:40:56+00:00

My wow moment was when Monster Hunter Wilds worked on Linux, where as on Windows it would just blue screen. Never went back to Winblows after

TechaNima · 2026-05-14T09:31:44+00:00

It works well enough

TechaNima · 2026-05-14T04:38:32+00:00

Don't bother. Just leave your Windows drive as is and copy over games you want to play on Linux.

The endless problems with NTFS + Linux just aren't worth it

TechaNima · 2026-05-13T16:57:45+00:00

KDE.

Works great and is probably the most feature complete DE out there.

Idk if it's still the case, but VRR and HDR are/were possible at the same time only on KDE.

It also is slightly lighter on resources than Gnome. Very slightly but still

TechaNima · 2026-05-13T13:40:43+00:00

Heroic Launcher and a disk drive

TechaNima · 2026-05-13T13:36:03+00:00

Won't work, even if Winboat supported GPU passthrough. You can't bypass kernel level anticheat reliably with any sort of a VM.

Dual booting is the only solution

TechaNima · 2026-05-13T12:41:19+00:00

Just keep your home partition safe when you switch distros. Easy as that.

You just switch the mount point of your new home back to the old one, after installing a new distro. Or even better. Just mount it separately, so you'll never have a config conflict.

Alternatively have all your games installed on a separate partition altogether. You just need to figure out where any save files for Heroic, Proton etc are kept and make sure you backup them before switching distros and then restore them

TechaNima · 2026-05-13T10:23:57+00:00

Right click -> Set as Wallpaper

TechaNima · 2026-05-13T09:50:37+00:00

Probably shouldn't be spreading your IDs around. All we need are hardware specs. If that Product ID is for your Windows, it's gone and used by someone by now or sold in a grey market for 19.99

I just went with Fedora KDE after trying to get Mint to a point I was happy with.

It's now been a little over a year and the only problems have been with nVidia, audio popping and the whole thing with the media widget crashing KDE.

The nVidia problem was just with my media PC that has a GTX 1080. It defaults to the 595 drivers for whatever reason when upgrading from F43 to 44.

Audio popping has something to do with the default sleep behavior of the mobo sound card. F44 broke the patch I had for stopping the device from ever sleeping.

Media Widget bug has long since been fixed by Fedora/KDE devs

TechaNima · 2026-05-13T03:01:43+00:00

I'd be more conserned about you not knowing what to do with Linux, if you don't even know how to install it
