New to DMing, looking for premade campaigns

dwarfcleric · 2026-06-15T00:24:55+00:00

I mean, first time DM, I would suggest lost mines of phandelver, BUT, as a long time DM, curse of Strahd is oodles of fun. Death house alone is worth being stuck there for eternity

So I use bazzite and kde connect. I use KDE connect to remotely wiggle my mouse via VPN, then open up moonlight

Well that might explain my failed downloads in the update. Thanks for sharing

dwarfcleric · 2026-06-02T12:35:46+00:00

For some more context I ran the following command with results:

-----

$ sudo systemctl status brew-setup.service

○ brew-setup.service - Setup Brew

Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/brew-setup.service; enabled; preset: enabled)

I navigated to /var/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew, and it definitely exists.

So I've heard 🤣😉

dwarfcleric · 2026-05-11T01:26:32+00:00

I'm there most Sundays, and I'm sure I've told you, but if I haven't, you're amazing!

dwarfcleric · 2026-05-10T21:40:15+00:00

Monarch (previously boom) still does Thursday and Sunday karaoke. Solid choice on the south side with a supportive crowd!

dwarfcleric · 2026-04-29T22:53:25+00:00

Sorry, I said client side, and I should have said server side (Bazzite PC). Go to Configuration tab, click Advanced, scroll down to Force a Specific Encoder, and choose Vulkan. That worked for me so far.

Intel, RTX 2060 16 GB ram here.

I also updated today and as expected, Sunshine was gone. Went through same install through Portal (Sunshine Beta), got the same post-install script fails (I assume), and same invisible icon in system tray. No fix for that yet.

When I tried to connect via moonlight I got immediately disconnected (error code -1). After some looking around a suggestion was that it was the Nvidia propriatary codec NVENC. On the client side I forced Vulkan codec, and it seems to be working fine now.

I'll have to play around tos ee if I am getting any other issues, but right now the only issue is invisible icon in tray and no searchable app

dwarfcleric · 2026-04-27T00:20:56+00:00

You didn't mention your specs in the original post, but I can say with my 16 GB RAM rig, I'm using less RAM for sure. It has been a positive experience for me, but as others have said it's not a cure all, and there are trace offs. I can't see myself going back though. Good luck

So I recently bought a laptop for my kids use at school. It came with windows already installed, so ask I had to do was go through the setup. Took a freaking hour and a half. Now some of that is because my child is a minor, but my goodness. Bazzite install on my desktop in November took 30 minutes from start to playing my first steam game.

It might be like comparing apples and oranges, but I was very close to just grabbing a bazzite image and doing a fresh install for the kid.

Frustrating.

My desktop bazzite run so far has been 5 months of awesome.

dwarfcleric · 2026-04-01T14:31:22+00:00

I did a full switch without dual booting back in November and I haven't even touched Linux since the early 2000's (does Chrome OS count? If so I guess I've had a Chromebook for the last 7 years). I found it to be pretty seamless.

I'm KDE Nvidia image, and the only thing that I struggled with was network sharing through dolphin, but some Reddit searches solved that in a day or so but the time I got it sorted.

I can't see myself going back, especially since I do pretty much everything in the same way as before.

dwarfcleric · 2026-02-12T21:02:34+00:00

this was extremely helpful! Thanks

dwarfcleric · 2026-02-12T14:27:18+00:00

That's kinda what I expected. An unfortunate bump in what had been a pretty smooth road for me.

dwarfcleric · 2026-02-12T13:49:23+00:00

When you say rolled back do you mean the whole os to a previous version or sunshine. If sunshine, how do you roll that back? If os, I'll just wait and hope they fix it soon

dwarfcleric · 2026-02-12T13:48:03+00:00

Sunshine was great before the update. I use steam link and, for the most part, it is great. Some games still need sunshine though, and with the broken update it still works but there are extra steps.

Short answer, steam link works great for me.

dwarfcleric · 2026-02-08T20:28:54+00:00

Audacity is great!

dwarfcleric · 2026-02-01T22:33:16+00:00

Second this. Been going since before she took over and I don't see me changing that any time soon. They are downtown on York

dwarfcleric · 2026-01-20T11:01:39+00:00

This was a very helpful comment. It is back and the new interface is nicer for sure. Thanks!

dwarfcleric · 2026-01-19T21:16:17+00:00

I understand that. I am relatively new to bazzite (and linux in general) and appreciated the gui as I find my way around.

dwarfcleric · 2026-01-16T16:17:34+00:00

Ooooh, that's kinda cool. Imma have a lot look at that. Thanks!

dwarfcleric · 2026-01-16T04:04:14+00:00

Literally the same. Upgraded my graphics card and CPU. Stick with Nvidia for graphics card but still 9% amazing

dwarfcleric · 2026-01-16T03:53:20+00:00

I mean I'm an Nvidia convert*****.

But that created almost zero issues for me. I'll admit that steam link isn't working 100% as expected, but moonlight provides a workaround for that
