I updated my BIOS a few days ago, and it reset my bios settings. I have my two m.2 slots populated with drives. After the bios reset my fedora based system (Nobara Linux) wouldn’t boot. I had to use journalctl to get logs. The noteworthy error basically said it didn’t see one of drives anymore that was in fstab. The solution took me a bit to find, but basically one of the m.2 slots by default on this Asus motherboard is disabled to free up a sata slot or something. Once I re-enabled it and rebooted everything worked again.

Might not be the same issue you had but definitely look at the journalctl logs. I did pop the error messages into Gemini to help me understand it, but a web search will probably work if you don’t like ai responses.

One I’m using a lot is a self hosted password manager. Vaultwarden specifically. Useful for more than just passwords of course, can take secure notes as well. I keep it locked to my local network only, and need to VPN in to my home network when I’m out to access it.

My laptop, desktop pc, and VMs are running Linux. All of them (except the laptop) are remotely accessible over the local network via Moonlight game stream using Sunshine as the hosting software.

I use USB/IP to send things like a Dualsense controller, or USB headset over the network, as well as my yubikey if I need to log into something with FIDO2 authentication remotely. (I haven’t tested my yubikey over usb/ip yet but I will eventually) I’ve also managed to use my racing wheel this way but if it lags it hurts the game badly.

Webcam / headset / USB storage devices / game controllers work just fine so far.

Usbip, I’m learning how to build a Python GUI by making one for usbip bind and usbip attach.
