Unrelated but did you know that Libraries oftentimes have cd's, dvd's, and even audiobooks available to borrow?
I really like Emby. The media recognition has been better/more accurate than plex in my experience.
Well yeah, they have guns and know how to use them.
Not op but Bazzite is excellent.
I am using syncthing to directionally sync my music from my server to my phone. I like having the local copy on both devices so I don't worry about losing cell service/internet.
Once I got it up and running, it has been like you described, way better than windows.
No, the generic usb driver wouldn't work for me. I only was able to get it to print a test page weirdly.
Brother. Weirdly, the scanner setup was completely painless and even easier than in wondows.
As a recent linux convert I found printer drivers and setups to be a pain and getting java runtime working was a process but everything else was about a days worth and it just works. Hell, even hitting the windows key on the keyboard and typing the ms name for stuff pops up the relevant linux program. If you didn't know you were looking at something different, it wouldn't be obvious for the most part.
These are inherently complex machines in harsh environments, accidents and malfunctions have occurred before.
The only game I have not been able to get work has been pubg. Everything else has been great and run fine once proton was up and running. I am using bazzite 41 as my current distro.
What button mod are you using?
