Find an old chrome book that has an x86 cpu and can do core boot. I got mine for $10.

And since it’s modular you can always upgrade!

Framework for sure. Built for Linux and upgradeable.

Yea and the purists are getting heated back. You’re obviously at a learning gap, and that’s the firmware gap. It’s annoying. But with older hardware it “just works”.

I’m guessing since mint is Debian based it’s not getting the latest and greatest firmware blobs, or it’s on an older kernel.

What’s your hardware? What version of Linux mint?

You might want to try some gaming specific distros as they are a little more cutting edge. I’d suggest giving Bazzite or Nobara a try. Bazzite is immutable, so if it’s not working on first boot just give up and switch. But it is my personals favorite.

Both are based on Fedora which is a little more cutting edge.

You also might want to try Manjaro which is like Arch Linux with training wheels. It may just work on boot.

Edit: Bazzite and Nobara will have Nvidia specific ISOs, so getting drivers working is no big deal. The core and legacy systems (Ubuntu, mint, Fedora, opensuse) all take a little more effort to get Nvidia working. Their spinoffs often times include the driver for you.

Bro. You need to grab for sanity right now. Switch back to windows until you’re ready to take another dive. It’s worth it imo, but a lot of these comments are just plane unhelpful. Linux is great, if it’s not working for your hardware try a different tact.

Nvidia support just turned a corner at the end of last year. It’s getting much much better.

Yea. Well. Fuck those guys.

Bro. That’s not what is happening or being talked about. Most anticheat systems have a Linux flag that can be enabled, letting them run on proton without any sort of kernel access. Everything except Denuvo and fuck that shit in particular.

That’s a lot if communication for someone that’s working for free.

Couldn’t Distrobox get you through that?

What application are you trying to tweak?

I should also say I use portainer for some graphical hand holding. And I run watchtower for updates (although portainer can monitor GitHub’s and run updates based on monitored merged).

For simplicity I create all my volumes in the portainer gui, then specify the mount points in the docker compose (portainer calls this a stack for some reason).

The volumes are looped into the base OS (Truenas scale) zfs snapshots. Any restoration is dead simple. It keeps 1x yearly, 3x monthly, 4x weekly, and 1x daily snapshot.

All media etc… is mounted via NFS shares (for applications like immich or plex).

Restoration to a new machine should be as simple as pasting the compose, restoring and restoring the Portainer volumes.

Use portainer + watchtower

I use the *arr suite, a project zomboid server, a foundry vtt server, invoice ninja, immich, next cloud, qbittorrent, and caddy.

I pretty much only use prebuilt images, I run them like appliances. Anything custom I’d run in a vm with snapshots as my docker skills do not run that deep.

I love docker, and backups are a breeze if you’re using ZFS or BTRFS with volume sending. That is the bummer about docker, it relies on you to back it up instead of having its native backup system.

I’m going to second this. It runs Android apps with a little bit of config.

Is tube archivist dead?! I just discovered it and I’m loving it!

How does this differ from tune archivist?

I’m curious what would happen if chrome is split from googles core business. That won’t happen of course, because we live in hell, but it would be great.

I looked at your post history and you’re overwhelming negative on a very small platform that tends to be people interacting with their best interests at heart. Maybe you grew up on 4chan, maybe you’re used to reddit griefing, either Lemmy doesn’t seem like a good place for you.

X11 was only?
