I had a little experience with Debian-based stuff on routers and whatnot going in, but when I finally migrated my main PC to linux I went with an Arch-based distro (cachyos) because the documentation on both projects is fantastic. I was able to get everything set up the way I wanted in a couple of days, with only one reinstall along the way lol.

You’ll retain your existing lifetime pass, fwiw. This is just price gouging new customers.

It runs fine under Proton. Heroic Games Launcher lets you claim the free games using a web wrapper.

With a nice, big disclaimer.

GURU bills itself as an official repository that’s user-maintained. AUR makes no claims of being official as far as I can see from their website.

Oh yeah that’s what I’m using. Thanks though!

In my case you can unironically blame Valve. I wanted an Arch-based distro to stay as close to SteamOS as possible but I have an nvidia GPU for the foreseeable future (unless I win the lottery or something).

Arch USER Repository. Use the official repositories if it’s a concern.

Less mentioned downside - digital rights management is significantly degraded in linux. Most commercial streaming apps/sites will work but but only at SD or 720p.

However, a report from the Hollywood Reporter revealed that the leak didn’t come from within Paramount but from a hacker from PeggleCrew—the same troupe behind an infamous 2016 cyberattack on the hosting website FossHub.

I’m guessing the crime is how they got the movie.

According to the publication, police discovered that the leaker gained unauthorized remote access to the server on which the animated film was stored, leading him to allegedly download and upload clips of the film online.

This happened in Singapore I guess, but assuming they have similar laws to the US then this would be unlawful access of a computer system.

Naw he’s just the ElectroBOOM of computers. Intentionally does shit wrong to show people how not to do things.

It really depends on how it was originally encded to x264 and what your goals for transcoding are in the first place (save space, playback compatibility, etc etc). there’s a pretty good little post on stackexchange that goes into more detail about the ffmpeg flags.

I think I tried it out once, but I wasn’t able to figure out how to to make this cake-autorotate thing work, was gonna use it on my starlink connection. Didn’t really get past that lol. I’m getting fiber on wednesday so it’s not really a concern anymore.

This reminds me, I actually installed OpenWRT on an ER-X. I need to go poke around on it and see how it works.

EdgeOS is a fork of Vyatta, which is itself based on Debian.

lmao send it to Bringus so he can install Steam on it

is this a Rush reference?

then it would be time to switch all my LXCs to alpine, i guess. if they’ll even still work. they’re all debian 12/13 right now.
