Sometimes, I feel like the average Linux user is just on very old or at the very least pretty old hardware.

I know I am probably wrong, but it just seems odd that in X11 my 8 year old ultrawide 144hz 1080p monitor is literally a stuttery and jittery mess when moving windows, when animations play, and even moving the cursor around. I believe I tried playing a game, and it also being a stuttery mess, but I can’t remember as that was around 6-7 months ago.

Using Wayland, on the other hand, as soon as I logged in for the first time it was definitely noticeably NOT like it was in X11. Frame rate was 144hz, everything mentioned above just worked as I would expect. It even feels smoother than Windows which I still have to use every now and then. Gaming on it is a blast 99% of the time, and I game A LOT! (completed ~10 games on openSUSE Tumbleweed just this year!)

So, sometimes I just feel like I said, and as I also said, I’m probably wrong. I have never logged back into X11 except when I upgraded my graphics card a month or so ago because of the stuttery feeling of X11. Some things did work better under X11, I guess, but that is probably because of the stagnant adoption of Wayland?

Besides me using Linux since the beginning of this year until now, I am still a Linux noob, so my opinions are just that. I have no real knowledge of Linux that would qualify me to be any good source of info. I just don’t get the slow adoption is all!

I got a Dell computer that was headed towards the dump from some older people, and installed TrueNAS Scale onto it. It has almost replaced my Synology I got three years ago, I just need to bite the bullet and buy new drives for it!

Mine too. Been tinkering with Linux since I was a lad, sudo apt get / sudo apt update is ingrained into my brain.

Now, after running openSUSE Tumbleweed, sudo zypper ref / sudo zypper dup

Still a Linux noob, but I have never loved an operating system more than I have openSUSE. :)

Thank you!

I see that it has a container image for use. TrueNAS Scale has given me some issues before, but since it is being recommended, I will give it a go!

Hey, all!

I’ve been manually importing each and every video I download from YouTube into my setup for Plex/Jellyfin, manually changing the date to the correct day it was uploaded, manually copy and pasting the description (if it has one that matters, and not just some links to websites or whatever. More so the ones that say “join me today as we go through this old series and learn more about the…” stuff like that), and even manually setting the thumbnail/“poster” for the video. I’ve been using JDownloader2 for this, as it is GUI (pretty necessary for me, but I am willing to see what else people recommend!) based and works really well.

This was fine for awhile, because I was just doing a video here and there. Last week, I downloaded an entire playlist, and am now seeing that my method is very, very, very cumbersome for what I have downloaded now. I did go through a few of them to manually import, and will continue to do so on my days I am too tired to do much else, but I wanted to ask this wonderful community on better methods. Hopefully, we can get my methods more refined and less manual!

I saw this, and it looks good. I also know about Pinchflat , and was really excited for that one, but alas, my TrueNAS Scale did not like that very much! (permissions issue I am sure, but I’ve already fought with the permissions on TrueNAS Scale, and I just don’t know what the hell it wants from me, but oh well!)

Pinchflat looks more like what I’d need, but I also like to see what other more experienced people might’ve found or any recommendations they may have!

Thank you for taking the time to read and help! :)

Probably the point, honestly. If they lose money from it, at least they made it worse for the cattle who stuck with it!

Random, but you should check out Emerald Seaglass! Beautiful art style combination!

Hey, OP! I was recently gifted a desktop PC, with one spare drive, and 2 drives I had in storage for “bad sectors”. I popped the old ones in (because I have a backup) and downloaded and installed TrueNAS Scale.

TrueNAS’ web UI is BEAUTIFUL and very informative at a glance. What I was NOT prepared for, was the permissions. Like you, I started out with a Synology, because I didn’t know anything. It did what it needed to do, and that was fine. I use Plex and Jellyfin, and the new desktop had a 1660 Super in it, so you bet your ass I wanted to put that to use!

TrueNAS isn’t as easy as Synology, and like I said, the permissions thing really threw me for a loop because of how the wording on things is. To me, it isn’t in english so to speak. I learned a few tricks here and there, so if you need any help, feel free to reach out and I’ll try to help! :)

Yeah, some of the Steam reviews on God of War Ragnarok were almost exactly like this.

“Oh, no! You have to use a third-party login to play your game! Get over it, it’s a great game, who cares about you having to go out of your way to arbitrarily create an account for a platform you’ve never used before!” - essentially.

Fucking shit eaters.

I wish people would just laugh at them, and tell them how fucking ridiculous they look and then promptly leave their asses behind and move on. Instead, we get news articles about a minority of people who have shit opinions about things they have no understanding of.

Gotta hoover up all that typing data, am I right?

😒

Unfortunately, the stock one will be the only one with even a sliver of privacy preserving measures (so far). I tried Swiftkey when it first got released on iOS, and not only did it just not feel right like the stock one, it was also bought by Microsoft at that point and I hadn’t known since the last time I was on Android, they did not own it. :/

If you do find one though, let me know! I love trying out new things!

LucidNightmare@lemm.ee · 2 years

I agree with you.

The people who say, “I don’t like to talk about politics” are the ones who have the worst opinions about shit and know they will get called out and god forbid anyone not like my opinions!
