  • Bought a new gaming PC with an AMD GPU and went straight for Bazzite almost a year ago. It was pretty damn painless and straightforward. Especially the only thing I use it for are singleplayer or indie multiplayer games. Almost everything worked out if the box.

    A lot of sim racing stuff worked surprisingly well.

    It was a pain to learn how to install Assetto Corsa with its mods, needs a specific version of proton with specific windows libraries installed, but once I figured that all out it runs great.

    It was also a pain when I bought a Chinese handbrake for sim racing, but thanks to the Sim Racing On Linux discord, a member wrote a custom driver for it for me and another member that bought it. Unfortunately, I can’t exactly install custom kernel drivers on Bazzite, so I ended up switching to CachyOS and have been enjoying that so far. It was a bit of a pain to switch as it requires more tinkering, but I got to a place where it was running nicely fairly quickly.

  • Immich. Wanted to exclusively use the external libraries features in read only.

    Set it up once in its own Proxmox LXC under Docker. Set it up all properly started scanning my entire library. And when I woke up again it had crashed and I couldn’t recover it.

    Started over the following morning and only gave it access to 2024 instead of everything. And it filled up to 30gb/40gb I gave it with thumbnails and files and such. Guess it crashed the other day because it took up too much room.

    Guess I’ll start over again, and ensure all the config files and thumbnails are stored on my NAS so they can take up the space they need to without overloading the main (small SSD) on my server.

  • I have not been quite satisfied with any of the self hosted streaming solutions or apps. There’s always an annoyance I have with all of them.

    Just using MusicBee and syncing a subset of my library to my phone has worked the best. Syncing it using SyncThing.
