Damn it. Beat me to it. I'll be first ext time.

Ok so I just watched that with the audio off cos I'm in a waiting room. I was confused by the commentary. The words sort of fit, then I realised the subs were song lyrics. Arguably made it even more fun to watch.

Interesting. That's not what happens on mine. I have to actually click into the password box on the primary screen if I want to use that one. Password entry works on both screens so doesn't really matter which I use, it is just a cosmetic thing that bothers me.

The prompt screen is the same on both monitors. But the typing cursor is in the password box on the secondary monitor.

I had a go at setting the kwin primary using another method but I'll have a look at copying the settings across like you said.

I'd like that as well.

If you really need one take white list approach. Block everything you don't need and only open what you need. Have fun finding out what you need.

Me too. I enjoy the @myservername thing as it lets me have one file to maintain lots of servers (Minecraft in my case). I'm sure someone will say other init systems can do the same, but I learnt this one and I like it.

My server has been on Endeavour OS (arch with a gui installer) for at least 18 months. I run updates roughly every 10 days (basically whenever I remember). Never had a problem with it. I dare say it could go horribly wrong at some point so I keep the LTS kernel installed as well just as a fall back.

My main pc is also running Endeavour OS (dual boot with windows 11). Other than having to keep Bluetooth downgraded to support the ps5 dual sense controller, it runs great.

My only gripe is that updates often contain something that forces the kernel rebuild process and so it needs a reboot afterwards.

Every other Linux I've run has had some sort of "rebuild to fix" type issue at some point, or had been hard to find good support information for. Endeavour OS has been the most reliable and the easiest to fix and find support for.

Indeed. Steam on Linux does cause issues with filenames. I keep games I run on Linux on an ext4 drive. There isn't any other choice unfortunately.

I have separate disks so I'm good on the front. The main reasoning is to make Linux my daily as it covers most stuff including my main games. The reason for windows is some video editing in davinci, music stuff which means VSTs, and some games that have anti-cheat. That windows stuff is really only about 15% of my time. I have a windows VM for office when I occasionally must have office, rather than an alternative.

This supports my thinking that ntfs3 is the way to go, or at least worth testing for a while.

Didn't know about ntfs3 so did some reading about it. There are some reports of corruptions, they were all fixed by letting windows do a chkdsk, and making sure the windows_names parameter when mounting the disk helped prevent problems.

I'm going to live with ntfs3 for a while as see what happens.
