I think it’s still a migration of a rather knowledgeable part of the windows users. I did migrate a year ago because of frustrations from windows pop ups showing up like they own the computer.

I a still reluctant to recommend it to my partner who is comfortable with windows but not really techy. As long as Linux works, it works. But when you need something a bit more involved or something breaks, the terminal will be harder for those users who might not have ever opened CMD in windows.

Take it easy, you’ll get your vr legs eventually. The key for me was to learn to detect when my body was starting to feel bad, stop immediately and go take a break. If you stop the symptoms early you can take regular short breaks instead of being drowsy all night.

Also, find some easier games for your stomach. Typically, stuff in a vehicle/plane/spaceship is easier for the brain because it understands something is moving but not you.

Static games work too. Beat saber is the classic but I’d like to recommend SynthRider.

Also, play around with the settings when you’re fresh and see what works. The black blinders on the side help most people but it make nausea worse for me.

Thanks a lot! I certainly need to learn about permissions and docker mapped directories in general. This is still very unclear in my head and it prevents me from troubleshooting my own stuff which is frustrating. You’re all very cool but I’d like to not post a lemmy every time an app has wrong permissions haha. I’ll have a read.

Good idea! I tried sync with my other computer and the software complained about not having permissions on the postgres folder. I investigated and found out postgres directory is owned by user:70. I have yet to find where that comes from. I changed it with a sudo chown but it reverts to the wrong owner when I restart the container.

That’s basically what the author of the app told me to do. I’m having wrong permission issues I believe and I haven’t found yet who/what assigns the wrong permission when I start the container.

I tried using tar as you said, and it didn’t work. Which led me to investigate and realize the owner of the postgres folder is unknown to me. Changed it back with CHOWN but it reverts back to the weird owner when I restart the container so I’m missing some knowledge and know-how. I’m trying to figure out who sets that permission in the first place.

I thought so, too. I played around with the tar idea and it led me to discover the permissions are wrong on the original computer. I have added new info on the main post about it but basically the owner is “user:70” and I have no idea where that comes from. I tried using CHOWN to reset everything to my own user, which is the same on both computers (1000:1000 uidguid), but whenever I restart the container, it locks again.

So far I’ve tried Debian12 on my old laptop and Mint on my self hosting rig. I think I’ll sping so VMs and test new distros before commiting to a full install. I wasn’t too happy with Mint because its boot time is much slower than Debian on a comparatively better machine so I’m not too tempted to go for it again. But maybe I messed up something and caused slow boot times.

Oh great! Thanks :)

That’s a nice comment. Thank you! :)

Gotta figure how to use my Quest2 on PC from Linux. I used Virtual Desktop on Windows but I couldn’t find documentation to use it on Linux.

Thanks for dropping those names, I’ll get Lutris and PoL :)

I’ve had the desire to leave for a while, that’s why I thought creating a linux server to self host apps with my former gaming PC would be a great way to get started with Linux and learn the basics while still relying on Windows for my main stuff for a while.

Games were my last point of resistance, but I don’t play as much anymore so I think I should just take the plunge.

Can you elaborate the /home on a different partition part? How do you split your partition and does it mean you can switch distro and still have your stuff laying around as if you plugged an external disk?

Okay so I’m slightly confused and I haven’t experimented with that on my server because it’s only one single drive. If I have several drives and partition one for the distro, the other drives as storage partitions. Are the data storage drives compatible between distro?

Would that mean that I could go pick a new distro, nuke the “distro drive”, but leave the others disk intact and just log in the new distro with my drives as they were?

I bought a kettle with a temperature selector. I have one degree of precision. Which is often overkill. It’s surprisingly useful to be able to heat water at non scalding temps. Especially for cleaning tasks, actually.

Yeah, I wanted to go the usb route but I only have one usb port which is often used to display Waze on the screen. I thought of using Spotify with an Adblock but that’s not ideal as it could stop working anytime and basically revert to being a radio. Can’t wait to find a way to ditch tidal.

I have tidal for music and I really want to drop it since their price hike. The only thing still blocking me is that I don’t have a decent way to listen to music in my car without a subscription service. It sucks.

Applies to many fields. Studied translation at university and, kudos to the head teacher, he kept saying we worked on current software for illustration but the point was to learn transverse skills to apply to whatever tools are trendy once on the market. Turns out I work in a firm working outdated software older than my uni did. But I always agreed with the dude, we’ll have to adapt or die as businesses.

Probably depends on the plane somewhat. I flew Air-France to go to Mexico and didn’t have that on their a380

Here to ask questions too. Is it necessary to add stuff to etc/hosts for this to work man only? Do I have to do portforwarding on my routeur and to what?

I’ve been trying to achieve exactly that for a week now and none of my attempts load at all.

Is there a resource or YouTube guide explaining all this so I actually know what I’'m doing?

It was an internship and I didn’t plan on staying but once I got called in the manager’s office. He asked me if I were doing some industrial spying . At that point in life all I wanted was to go home and play some games for the rest of summer until university starts over.

He threatened me he could see everything I did on my computer and asked me if he should look it up. To which I said go ahead you’ll find my job.

Couple days later I arriver exactly 3 minutes lates because of public transportation issue. I used to arrive 15 minutes early everyday because my transport schedule was that way. I got summoned again to tell me to leave earlier.

I told all that to my university and they decided to blacklist the company. Being that my university was part of a .bigger network, their behaviour led them to be cut off from the biggest local intern pool.

No idea why they were so annoying, I wasn’t even browsing Reddit on their computer back then and used my phone for that kind of stuff. No idea what lead them to think I’d steal data. I don’t even know if they have competitors haha
