It’s not restricted to anything and you can install everything you want. They have even some neat setups for development environments. In general I like the idea of an atomic os. So for my work PC I might go with something similar next time.
But it definitely took a bit getting used to, after coming from Ubuntu as well and not knowing anyone but apt to install software.
Either way, good luck with your setup!
Btw, if you want someone that just works out of the box for games, have a look at bazzite. Steam and drivers installed right away. I run it happily for some time now.
Is not strictly necessary to install Windows first, it just makes it easier, because Linux will setup the bootloader for you. Windows in the others hand tends to nuke everything that was installed prior, so you would at least need to repair the bootloader. To be completely safe you can just disconnect the Linux drive, while Windows is installing. Definitely a path, if you want to go for Linux only for now.
VM is a good method once it is set up, but needs more initial tinkering with the passthrough, depending on your hardware. I don’t know how those Kernel level anti cheat things work. Otherwise the game shouldn’t even know it’s in a vm.
I haven’t met a single game yet that isn’t running, but I’m not into AAA games anyway. Worst case you just resort to dual boot (don’t forget, always install Windows first) or VM.
For me both is written, I’m curious if that is location dependent
They have a really weird definition of “upgrade”
Been using and hosting it probably for two decades, never any issues
Same here, got me really confused for a second
You use it as reverse proxy, to not expose your hosting servers (e.g. websites, Lemmy instances or what not) directly to the Internet. The idea is that they take care of a lot of security concerns for you, which can otherwise be very demanding if you are self hosting
I mean… I set it up many many years ago… Without looking it up I can also just guess.
This is the absolute first time I hear about it
When I set up opnsense with unbound I switched on detailed logs, just for checking what’s going on and if course I forgot to turn it off, which resulted in horrible overall performance, in particular when the drive filled up and everything broke.
I don’t know if that changes by know, but some years back when I was looking trying to play a Blu-ray (got for birthday) and there was no legal way to play it on Linux. It was so frustrating to tinker with that I ended up downloading the movie and put the disc on top of the PC, just to pretend.
There is a difference between how people watch stuff and how much they remember. I also can’t rewatch anything within a decade, because I remember every single line. My wife didn’t remember what that episode was about a week later. Sometimes I envy her, because I constantly need to look for new stuff, which might or might not be good. she can just rewatch something and she knows that she likes it. Of course this is exaggerated, but I guess you get the point.
Yeah… I’m definitely Bumi
That explains a lot
Geez, I got three times a time out, so I retryed sending it. Sorry for the spam
