  • Layering with rpm-ostree isn’t a big deal, it’s designed to be used. Flatpak -> ujust -> rpm-ostree, for looking for programs. It also has a manager for .appimage, so those are easy to use as well.

    For your Razer, there’s a ujust for it. I personally prefer chromatic or whatever its called. But both use openrazer for backend, which is a layered package.

    My favorite cool app is cavalier (flatpak), and before that just cava. A nice visualizer for my sound on my second monitor. I’m a bit of an audiophile, and seeing the live bars bounce based on frequency is always so cool to me.


  • Electric cars are fun, and I don’t personally mind they’re basically silent. But nothing will replace the fun of a manual transmission ICE.

    I don’t think most people get a loud exhaust for attention either, but because they like it. But windows down blasting music is pointless and toxic, IMO.

    Also saying if you want speed to go electric is too generic, IMO. What kind of speed and when you’re going to use it is important. For example, if you want speed from a standstill, then sure electric. Want speed once you’re already moving, like a race track, then ICE is fine since you’ll be high RPMs.






  • Bazzite out the box is just absolutely bonkers how good it is. Basically just stick to flatpaks from the DE’s app store, and layering anything else with rpm-ostree.

    If the game isn’t on Steam, then Lutris which also comes with Bazzite, is your best bet. It’ll have installers for other DRM/launchers that work. I’ve gotten Ubisoft Connect and Battle.net to work and install games, but no luck getting Epic to work.

    Also the app that can manager wine runners/steam’s proton are great. I’d have it download the latest proton-ge for steam, and set that to be the default version for every game’s Proton version. I don’t remember its name on gnome, but on KDE Plasma it’s ‘proton-qt’

    Fun fact, proton-ge which stands for Glorious Egg Roll, is from the same guy who makes Nobara.








  • My Ubuntu on a SBC for a workshop just killed itself on Monday. Had it for a few months, new SBC, fresh Ubuntu install, 0 customization, just using it occasionally for Chromium. It popped up a new version -Minotaur or something- was out, so I said sure upgrade. It gave an error for bash near the end, then bricked itself. Now i gotta dig out SD cards and find a new distro.

    Fuck Ubuntu. Ends in misery every single time.

    And no I don’t want any recommendations.
