Steam Machine

If the Steam Machine really takes off, I see way more people moving to Linux on their main rigs and laptops, and in turn making companies stop ignoring it, if it becomes a massive success I imagine:

• Mainstream games like FIFA supporting Linux
• Apps like Affinity Studio being distributed through Steam officially supported via Proton.
• Epic games will be the last company to keep ignoring Linux.
• Valve adopting Waydroid for SteamOS (for Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, etc)
• NVIDIA will redouble their Linux efforts.
• Greatest than ever VR support in Linux

Steam Frame

• Lots of Linux apps will work on Android desktop mode, like LibreOffice, Inkscape, etc.
• Linux phones will receive a lot more maintainers and funding.

Steam Deck

• Android apps on the Deck via Valve’s Waydroid
• Steam Deck 2 on ARM

Other

• New use cases for ARM will motivate RISCV to speed up it’s growth.
• KDE & Arch will receive more funding from Valve
• More contributions to the Kernel
• More Linux developers
• Increased security for Linux
• Flathub will grow

Does it support VJOURNAL?

Does Briar ask for anything ?

AFAIK Proton-GE uses VLC and Valve is from the US, where VLC is considered to breach some codec licenses I believe h264 decoding in particular. But I’m not sure, it’s been a long time since I’ve read about it.

I would go with Aurora or Fedora Kinoite. Atomic + KDE is unbreakable and easy for Windows casuals.

The only thing I dislike about Aurora is the illustrations baked into the distro. SDDM & Bazaar have them and can’t be changed. But it’s a freaking awesome distro.

I use it daily on my work laptop through an external USBC M2 NVME caddy. Today I had to move to a new work laptop and I just plugged it to the new one and that was it, my OS and all my stuff on my new work laptop in just a few seconds. No downtime. No drivers to update. Nothing.

The laptops have their factory Windows untouched. No warranty is void. IT is happy and I get to use Linux at work.

Plus, I can plug the drive to my home desktop PC running Bazzite and open files as if it was a regular thumbdrive.

This setup makes me so happy.

To fix the missing videos, use Proton-GE. Easiest method: Download it with Proton-up QT (bundled with Bazzite) then chose Proton-GE from the game’s Steam compatibility settings.

It’s because they use proprietary codecs that Valve can’t freely distribute.

This is awesome, I want it. But it’s way beyond my technical level. I wish there was a Proxmox helper script.

Yeah, I absolutely agree with your POV. I guess you could post there anytime your question could be applied to a homelab.

Absolutely, the selfhosted communities are full of networking pros.

Does gadgetbridge integrate with home assistant?

I would love to see the dashboard there.

I’ve never tried the inkscape cli, how is it ?

I bet you can, get it from their github.

Thank you for even considering it, let alone add it to the roadmap. Huge thanks.

I will create the issue, should I open one for each standard or consolidate all into one issue?

Please, for the love of god, please be the first app of this kind to support the iCAL VTODO & VJOURNAL standards.

I was one of those nomadic users, every year, since 1998 with Mandrake Linux.

I have always been in love with the idea of an open source OS, but if I couldn’t game and work on it, it wasn’t ready. Every year, until Valve made it easy to game on Linux.

I made the switch when Proton was released and never looked back.

My point is, every time users go back to Windows, they have their own personal reasons, but those will some day not be the truth anymore.

ok, now try building an Aurora fork, and give us your take. Should be fairly easy for you.

Yeah, I just use Inkscape, I know it well and it’s very well maintained. But it’s overkill for most people.

I’m on the same plan, I do plan to self host it though as a backup only.

STUN/TURN is literally designed to bypass network boundaries. Its necessity comes from the evil of NAT and allowing RFC1918 IP addresses behind firewalls to poke holes so that direct P2P connections can be established for VOIP.

By virtue of being technology designed to step around boundaries, you should be weary of controls around this. STUN can be used to relay from the external STUN record to other servers within the same broadcast domain. We’ll add some controls here to limit this, but it would behoove you to place this server in an isolated DMZ without connectivity to other, potentially privileged, internal hosts. Never forget network segmentation.```



Would a VLAN be enough?
