Bazzite has a version for legacy Nvidia GPUs (including the 10xx series). I would start there.

SteamOS, even if it releases anytime soon, most likely will not support your GPU.

I switched from Fedora KDE to Kinoite a few months ago. Both were 100% stable for me as well.

The main reason I switched to Kinoite is because I'm a digital hoarder and after 5 years or so all my systems are completely trashed with various libraries, 12 different PHP/.NET versions, custom builds and a bazillion Python packages.

In the end it always causes issues like my builds stop working because I have some ancient version of a library stashed away somewhere.

Immutable distros are really easy to return to "factory defaults". It keeps a list of all the packages that are installed on the system and everything else now goes in Toolboxes, Distroboxes or Docker containers. If I mess up my C++ environment (again) I can just delete that toolbox and start from scratch.

I still manage to bloat my home directory but that is much easier to clean up than looking through all system files.

I'm running this on a 7900 XTX with 32GB RAM. No issues so far. According to their instructions, Nvidia is a little bit more involved but it should perform the same on consumer or pro GPUs.

I assume decause it’s using Docker, the more RAM the better.

Docker has pretty much no overhead, so you only need enough RAM to run the games/sessions you want to run in addition to your regular desktop.

They don't do the same thing: Sunshine is intended to stream a single physical desktop.

Games on Whales runs headlessly and creates virtual desktops for each session in a Docker environment.

For example, you can create an instance that runs at 800p so you can stream to your Steam Deck at its native resolution. You can even still use your desktop normally since the streams run in the background.

Both of them support connection via Moonlight.

Games on Whales has worked really well for me: https://games-on-whales.github.io/

That's a shame. Still very cool and much tidier than doing it directly but I thought you could actually pull windows:latest now and get going.

Wait, Docker and Podman can create Windows VMs?

I had winapps setup using QEMU quite a while ago but this seems like a much tidier setup.

But more users need Linux.

That's good timing because I just played through The Dark Ages and Eternal is still my favorite.

Hey, I'm exactly in the same situation as you.

Only way I can login to my EA account is via Steam. As soon as I try to login on their website, it will send me a confirmation email.

I don't own shit on Origin so I don't really care but let me know if you ever find a solution.

If your device supports it, you might want to encode to Opus instead. Opus produces much higher quality files at much smaller file sizes than MP3.

For example, Opus at 128kbps is considered transparent when compared to the source file. You can probably go down to 64-96kbps when its just for playback in your car.

As for transcoding them, you might want to check out ffmpegfs: https://github.com/nschlia/ffmpegfs

It can create a "virtual" drive based on your source files and automatically transcodes them when you drag & drop files from there onto your device.

I would prefer if the EU/Swiss backed project based on GNU Taler makes it instead: https://www.taler.net/en/ngi-taler.html
