Well it didn’t “brick” your system. You probably simply got a black screen because the method of installing the latest driver failed. Mint is the wrong distro for gaming on NVIDIA for now.

I highly recommend Nobara for fedora based or CachyOS for Arch based ( gnome or KDE Plasma). They take special care on things like GFX drivers and auto setup things that might be missed. Also both of those DE’s leverage the latest NVIDIA drivers taking advantage of the latest fixes.

555.58 is the most recent NVIDIA driver.

Again, an awkward time.

You entered the Linux Desktop scene at an awkward time, using an NVIDIA card.

Linux Mint’s packages are old. I would never recommend anyone to use Mint with an NVIDIA card. Not recently at least.

We just hit a compatibility point ( this week ) with the NVIDIA drivers and popular DE’s like KDE Plasma and GNOME which provides an excellent Wayland experience. Distro’s like CachyOS and Nobara Linux are probably one of the only ones taking advantage of this so far. Besides those of us who roll their own.

I have to admit, a proprietary web browser hardly seems like a reason to stress out. If the browser is a deal breaker, is it specific to Mint and whatever version of the driver you had installed?

I have the same setup +1

It does actually.

What are the advantages over Prusa?

Ease of use or features? Both?

This is a dev kit. This is not for normal people to use. RISC-V is not there yet, but this is a good first step.

One year is nothing.

Learn as much as you can from the people around you at your current position.

Find a new technology or existing one you want to improve/learn and create a project out of it that you can do at home.

Look for ways to improve your productivity.

Become a SME.

One day you will own a project, helping the new guy and be the person people come to if they have questions.

Put in the time. You’ll find your way.

I honestly don’t know anything about OSMV OSMC besides what I just read on their site.

Streaming services are gonna be an issue. I’m guessing you’re going to have to hope kodi addons are working. If you happen to find one that works, at best you will get 1080p, probably 720p depending on the service.

Everyone has their preferences. But ya just need to throw a Roku / Google / AppleTV behind it.

Everytime I’ve looked into it, it seemed like the technology just wasn’t there yet. I remember a few years ago Linus TT took a shot at it, but in the end suggested the technology (for non-commercial entities) just wasn’t in a comfortable spot yet.

I had a sever in my basement running proxmox ( actually ended up doing it all manually eventually ), with a windows gaming VM and handful of utility Linux servers in 2015? The only problem being Windows games using kernel level anti cheat.

I get it really comes down to GPU sharing and I think it’s doable on consumer GPUs now but I’m not sure about gaming. Honestly the tech has been here for a long time. But companies like NVIDIA held on forever to the GPU resource sharing features and kept it away from consumer cards.

I’m a bit older these days and have gone through many generations of hardware with a different setup. I keep two or more GFX cards on hand. Latest always goes to my workstation while last gen is thrown in my sever and used by all my docker containers. Then have an older Xeon with 24 bays that I use for storage.

Rocky is a solid choice.

Debian :)

Give Alpine Linux a shot.

Bitwarden has its own script to manage the containers. It’s not your typical self hosted app docker installation. What OP is looking for is easily accessible in their FAQ section of the documentation.

Q: How do I use custom server ports?

A: To use custom ports, instead of 80 and 443, edit the http_port= and https_port= values in ./bwdata/config.yml and run ./bitwarden.sh rebuild to rebuild your server assets.

Check that the custom port values have been proliferated to ./bwdata/env/global.override.env.

I used to host bitwarden before switching to vaultwarden. Bitwarden’s documentation is pretty good and your question is easily found here:

Yes. Pipewire handles pulse apps like Pavucontrol.

Universal Windows Platform (UWP)

These apps are from their AppStore will not run with proton. If Microsoft decided to Xbox’ PC gaming, I think that would warrant concern.

Didn’t they do that already? I thought Microsoft offered low end Xbox with a subscription when they first launched gamepass?

Target disk mode is performed during boot and was first introduced in 1991.

But I also understand the people who can’t bring themselves to vote for a guy supporting a genocide

If people have this view, then they should be even more concerned about a Trump second term. I’m sorry, this is unacceptable and it’s exhausting seeing it repeated on this platform. It shows a clear lack of understanding on how we’ve made progress in this country and a concerning misuse of emotion over critical thinking.

Modern governance has always been an uphill battle. Don’t throw away progress, as little as it may be. It’s still progress and gaining an inch every day is almost always better than going back a foot. It may take years to get that inch.

If we want change, start local and work up. Campaign for the people who see the world the way you do and fight for them. Organize. Not voting is by far one of the dumbest and most un-American thing you can do.
