The new Godzilla Minus 1 movie actually goes over this, >!they even use it against Godzilla to try and defeat him.!<

Layering with rpm-ostree isn’t a big deal, it’s designed to be used. Flatpak -> ujust -> rpm-ostree, for looking for programs. It also has a manager for .appimage, so those are easy to use as well.

For your Razer, there’s a ujust for it. I personally prefer chromatic or whatever its called. But both use openrazer for backend, which is a layered package.

My favorite cool app is cavalier (flatpak), and before that just cava. A nice visualizer for my sound on my second monitor. I’m a bit of an audiophile, and seeing the live bars bounce based on frequency is always so cool to me.

Unraid does an excellent job at this. I helped a friend setup a rack mounted server, it runs home assistant, some other containers, and a VM for him to work in, or play games. AMD GPU being passed through.

The IoT LTSC does not have this requirement. Or a USB made in Rufus can have it disabled.

Just burn the ISO to a USB drive with Rufus, a window full of options with check boxes will pop up, with a lot of options to turn installation bullshit.

Recently read the original book by Mary Shelly. His creating the monster in the book is super casual. Basically like 1 page of “he finally figured out the right methods and animated the creature to life…Moving on, he was immediately disgusted!”

Check out Bulls On Parade cover by Denzel Curry. It’s on YouTube from a radio station.

Looking through their GitHub I found a thread about their progress for v14, and found someone who is compiling the v14 testing builds:

So far I’ve only had 1 very minor visual bug with a widget after a week of use. I can highly recommend trying it out.

There’s something that broke/bugged launchers starting in Android 13 that launchers have “fixed,” despite people still complaining. Sometimes you go to your task viewer to switch to, or close some apps; sometimes the card/app you wanted would be transparent, and would lock up and freeze the phone. The Only fix is to use the side button to lock the phone, then unlock and close the app/tab. This happened to me on all launchers, betas included, until Lawnchair 14. It’s been too long since I did OG Lawnchair from an app store, but this new one has things like supporting icons dynamically changing colors with material you. I personally like material you, and using their second app Lawnicons has been refreshing. Every other launcher would fail to color/theme some icons, or not change colors with a new wallpaper, etc. Not to mention it still feels super fast and slick to use.

They claim 14 is soon™. I just found a GitHub this past week that compiles version 14 testing. So far this has been the best launcher I’ve used in years, easily.

I’ve been rocking recyclarr now for almost a year. Was a pain in the ass to figure out the config, but very nice automate another piece off the Arr machine.

Wrong community?

Unraid is the GOAT when it comes to being headless for docker. They know how to walk the fine line of “this is too much. It’s bloat,” and “this is minimal and bare bones.” I seriously can’t hype them enough, and can’t do justice to describing their ease of use.

I have an oDroid N2+ with CoreELEC (arm Linux for booting into Kodi) that I use to stream content from my home server. It’s honestly the best setup I’ve ever used. If a streaming service is needed, my TV runs on Android with a TV specific launcher.

Fuck yes it does. That game set a new gold standard for me on video game production quality. Phenomenal game, and is even well optimized.

Adguard home is like pihole, but has built in encrypted DNS options. For easy mode NextDNS.

They pretty much all have the same block lists to choose from.

Chenbro makes quite a few ATX shallow rack mount cases. I have one and have no complaints.

I know you said you’re against rack mounting, but JUST in case:

I love the look and tidiness of a nice rack mount system. So I got a Chenbro 4U case. It’s perfect for reusing my old components, and it has a standard size area on the front to install a hot swap HDD cage.

I know android TV and Roku have jellyfin apps. But I would stay far away from LGs WebOS, and I haven’t heard of Tizen.

Id honestly buy w/e tv you think looks the best quality wise, then add a media player. For ease of use Nvidia shields are fantastic and run android TV, and work wonders with steam link.

What I did was a Sony OLED which has android TV and is fast enough to use streaming apps with little annoyance. And then I bought an odroid n2+ and installed coreELEC to use Kodi to stream media locally without needing to transcode. Then use jellyfin for if I want to stream outside the house.

Sadly my setup doesn’t have a solid Steam Link option, as the Sony TV isn’t powerful enough and there’s a delay in controller input and what you see on TV.

^ Hopefully some good ideas for you ^
