In this case you’re just seeing the App image container and it’s subprocess as two different processes. If you kill the AppImage process, it SHOULD kill the subprocess unless there is something whacky going on with how they spawn it.
It may also be different if for some reason sudo is being being used in the mix here.
Kill signals have different priorities in Linux. The default should be to ask it to kill itself and cleanup nicely, which may or may not work. If you want to be absolutely sure it dies every time, you want to use pkill -9 whateverprocess.
I did. Which is why I commented. You literally said “there are no wrong answers” 🤣
You’re going to be super disappointed to learn that most people who have been using Linux as daily driver for decades just use whatever works. Linus himself just uses Fedora.
Nobody that has real shit to do wants to worry about things not working or causing issues. Immutable is pointless, Nix is something I use for work, Ubuntu is dead to me…etc.
Not sure what you even mean, but OP seems to be struggling with just installing Wine.
99% of everything should work right off the bat with any Prefix Manager, and only in RARE cases does tweaking Wine directly ever come into to play.
I think you have it backwards.
Honestly, unless you know exactly what you’re doing, I wouldn’t run Wine directly.
Use a Wine Prefix manager like Proton, Lutris, Heroic …etc. It makes everything pretty dead simple, and keeps all your Wine stuff isolated.
Nix is simply a different distro with a declarative composition for its package management. You won’t be getting different behavior from package selections or anything like that if it’s a bug in the software itself.
Just letting you know.
It’s no hard to break than anything else. I’m not sure you understand what the issue is here…
DRBD…that is an acronym I have not heard in a long time.
I have nothing but horrid memories of fucking with this on Blade+SAN deployments. It never worked right, and the only support that existed was from LINBIT. Near-zero documentation for operating it.
Every modern distro keeps previous kernel boot entries available at boot time. You don’t need to use snapshots to simply not boot a potentially problematic kernel update.
There are literally near zero reasons to ever have to reinstall any Linux install. Moving to a more complex distribution isn’t going to solve your problem here, which is just learning a different workflow. That workflow being more akin to software development workflows: if something fucks up, just revert.
If I get a minute I’ll see if I can replicate, but my initial guesses are:
Edit: also maybe give this a shot. https://www.azdanov.dev/articles/2025/how-to-create-a-virtual-display-for-sunshine-on-arch-linux
Not sure what you mean about the mouse cursor not showing up. You mean you can interact with the mouse, but just see a cursor? Or no matter which direction you move the mouse the cursor doesn’t get there?
You sure after setting up the virtual display you’re going through the steps to setup the orientation of monitors?
Change your time servers or add more to the load balanced con, and make sure you don’t have a block on your network for those hosts. You can also set the timeout for that particular service to something shorter so it doesn’t hang, or remove deps that rely on it from the service files.
What’s the exact error it’s giving?
Literally nothing. It has nothing to do with Linux.
They won’t make their CAC© checks be always online because they know they’ll lose sales. The reality is that more people will not buy always online games than have the will and know-how to find cracked versions. The segmentation of the general market is just much smaller.
So I don’t think anything will happen here.
Minisforum makes good stuff, but only buy their Refurbished items if you don’t need something specific.
Lots of people buy Beelink minipcs for n100 boxes, but looks like the prices are all jacked right now. [This should only be about $150 maybe.](https://www.newegg.com/beelink-barebone-systems-mini-pc-intel-n95/p/2SW-0012-001Z2?Source=socialshare
I wouldn’t use an old MacMini for much because they aren’t actually power efficient, but any n100 for Ryzen5 minipic with Kodi on it would work just fine for you want. There are plenty of altern6to Kodi, but it’s so simple, it’s hard to pass up.
(diarrhea noise)
Systemd is fine. Stop getting trolled by antiquated neckbeards.
Unless you find a specific problem with something, don’t go looking for reasons to fix that which is not broken.
