This is much less a Linux problem and much more a communuty one. We really need a semi-centralized place to get recent linux info and a nice guide on linux specific knowlage for beginners, but then people will cry needing to learn what wayland/x11 and such are will turn people away. Whoever was telling you windows games 10-15% faster were fucking dumbasses, I have zero problem running any game I want on my machine but the preformace has been exactly the same as windows (which I still consider a win for linux)

The next big problem is people going "We don't need gaming distros" when those gaming distros are made to solve this exact problem. If you haven't already try out Bazzite or Nobara and it might "just work" (no promises tho). But a distro like Mint/Pop/Debian are going to have a lot of missing drivers/package updates for the latest hardware, Fedora needs relatively a lot of post-install tinkering to get things working since they only ship opensource packages by default, Garuda is not ment for beginners and uses a more unstable kernal for preformance, but you still need to tinker with drivers. Bazzite and Nobara are the two big distros that aim to "just work" out of the box and even re-package some software with the latest fixes. And incase you don't like the look of them, you can install whatever theme over KDE Plasma you want

Ofc I get if your tired of hearing "just install this distro instead" but a lot of advice is coming from others who also don't actually know whats going on under the surface, and sometimes your hardware just isn't supportes (not a linux issue but a manufacturer one). And if your at the point where using windows for gaming works and thats enough for you, nothin wrong with just using windows

Sorry I can't vc but I'd like to share some opinions/feedback. A lot of these are UI/UX things that I imagine won't be implemented until later in development but I would like to get them out there:

  1. Please do not add AI to this (or at least keep it as a plugin). Seems like an odd ask but every webapp bookmark manager I've check out has added the most random AI features

  2. Optionally see bookmarks under lists in the sidebar (including seeing lists under "unpinned lists" and bookmarks under "unsorted bookmarks"). For neatness sake maybe have it clamped to 10 items and have the rest listed as a single item + x bookmarks in a subtext color

List
  Sublist
  Bookmark
  Bookmark
  1. Search for bookmarks

  2. Rename, delete, and move bookmarks from the sidebar with a right click menu

  3. Sidebar bookmarks show favicon of website. Bookmark page shows a preview of the website

  4. Extra information in key=value for bookmarks, ie: price=49.99, and being able to sort by keys, ie: price <= 25

  5. Hidden bookmarks: hidden by default from searches and list views unless "show hidden" option is toggled. I personally would use this a lot for websites I've read through already but might want to keep incase someone else needs the info

  6. Archived bookmarks: archive the site itself and store it on the server

Right now I have everything except wireguard setup on my old Thinkpad. I'm planning on hosting a minecraft server, forgejo, jellyfin, and fediverse instances. Before I expose everything to the open web I'd be grateful if someone could look my setup over and tell me if this is secure enough I can just update containers when they need and forget about security

Xfce next major release will have Wayland support so no need to even change!

My solution has entirely just been to own less things and designated spots for every item. The main problem is forcing myself not to get cool things I will never actually use

 

System: laptop with HDD(no money for ssd) and power issues + old non-smart TV + router under TV OS: Fedora server

Idea: Since the old laptop is close enough to the router for Ethernet, I'm using it as a home server. Then I had the idea to also use it as a smart TV like device since it's right under the TV. I figured an HDD wouldn't be a huge issue for streaming from jellyfin or the internet.

Server side stuff I've found lots of great information on but I'm struggling with the roku-like/smart TV setup:

  • how do I disable the laptops display on boot?
  • using waydroid + cage to run full screen android application when tv is connected?
  • can the TV remote be mapped to Linux inputs?

Personally I would say start with Arch and if you like it use endeavorOS. Endeavor is just easy install for arch(and the only one I've tried that actually achieved it well) so if you already know the inner workings it saves a lot of tedious install work and has some nice QOL defaults already set like yay colorized

Lenovo has official support for Ubuntu on all laptops which translates very well to other distros. IMO the Thinkbook gen 6 having fully upgradable ram and decent specs is a really good deal for a Linux laptop *when on sale

Cloud Stream lets you get from sources like super stream or dopebox or even aniyomi plugins. I don't have the money for fast VPN connection so it's more convenient for me

I wanted to use stremio but since it's torrent based it needs a VPN to use no? Last I checked the regular streaming site addon for stremio no longer exists and cloud stream works well enough to not put in the effort to switch
