Unfortunately for some of them even if the game works there are often cases where either mods don’t work or some overlay/other additional software.
On your answer though, I was under the impression that when you configure the KVM passthrough setup it makes the video card you use for the passthrough inaccessible for the host itself and that to make it accessible, it requires undoing some of the config and a restart. Is this incorrect?
An app named “Bring!”. It’s pretty barebones, the only few features in it are
- shared list
- organise items by category
- recipe ingredients (as in save the ingredients for a recipe and then add the recipe to add all the ingredients to the list)
It’s pretty much all we need.
Aside from the effort required others have mentioned, there’s also an effect of capitalism.
For a lot of their tech, they have a near-monopoly or at least a very large market share. Take windows from Microsoft. What motivation would they have to fix bugs which impact even 5-10% of their userbase? Their only competition is linux with its’ around 4(?)% market share and osx which requires expensive hardware. Not fixing the bug just makes people annoyed, but 90% won’t leave because they can’t. As long as it doesn’t impact enterprise contracts it’s not worth it to fix it because the time spent doing that is a loss for shareholders, meanwhile new features which can collect data (like copilot for example) that can be sold generate money.
I’m sure even the devs in most places want to make better products and fight management to give them more time to deliver features so they can be better quality - but it’s an exhausting sharp uphill battle which never ends, and at the end of the day the person who made broken feature with data collector 9000 built in will probably get the promotion while the person who fixed 800 5+ year old bugs gets a shout-out on a zoom call.
I have no experience with this, but happened to have seen an interview with Ludwig Minelli, the founder of Dignitas (an organisation for assisted death). The man is 90+ and still fighting for this right. I believe I saw it in a video format, but I think this was the interview - I think it’s worth a read.
I’d suggest you look up the contact for the various organisations and reach out with your situation and questions to see what they say. They’re likely to be much better sources of information.
Use the buddy system. Years ago I had a work-friend, we’d just book meetings with each other a couple of times a week, go to a meeting room and just hang out, I taught him to juggle, or we’d watch an episode from a series etc.
It was fun feeling like we got away with something, but realistically nobody questioned it because we both got our work done and it was a good company where that mattered more than time spent at a desk.
Another option you could consider is rather than running the VPN on the pi and downloading through that, to run the VPN on your media server as you planned and instead use the pi (or your router if you can run openwrt) as the remote access point. Then you only need to worry about the performance needed for remote access
I’m not sure how tailscale works, but this is what I do with zerotier (i.e. run it on my router).
I mainly use my pc to play games, maybe 90% works fine but that 10% is still quite a lot. Also, even if the games themselves work sometimes extra tools (like overlays) around them don’t, which is the case for my main game.
Lastly I have struggled with X11 in the past so much with my multiple different resolution and refresh rate monitors working, and it doesn’t seem like Wayland is there yet either.
I look forward to these things being ironed out, it has come a very long way in the past few years, I do believe a couple more and I’ll be able to switch back to Linux.
I understand that, but just because I’m capable of working with a less friendly system doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. If anything I’d still list it as a negative aspect that it requires more knowledge and research.
If there was a question with an answer like “I’m looking for a challenge” it’d make sense that it’s listed as a positive.
“Requires reading up in manuals for usage” why is this considered a pro…?
