I think there are more people that are #1 and #2 the same time

Probably where some of the attitude comes from. People are assuming that it's paid IT people bringing their work home with them, which is a different case then a casual user trying out self-hosting without the broader background.

Although I haven't seen this attitude myself so I suspect it's not that common, and probably just a handful of users jumping to conclusions.

I haven't tried it, but Tube Archivist may fit the bill.

The downside with ULA is that ipv4 is given preference, which is annoying on dual stack networks. I believe there is a draft RFC to change this but it will take a while for it to be approved and longer still for OSes to change their behaviour. I workaround it by using one of the unused (but not ULA) prefixes.

Pretty cool especially since it's RISC-V. I'd have some concerns about the software and driver side of things, though (and the performance).

Ah Nvidia. Bazzite uses Wayland I believe since it uses the same gamescope session as SteamOS (unless something has changed recently). While it may be possible to get it working, I'd expect a much better time with an AMD card.

A traditional distribution may be a better bet with Nvidia for now.

There's a bunch of other variants like PiKVM and BIiKVM as well. Even some cheap knockoffs on Aliexpress that may do the job.

Mainly because running multiple desktop machines adds up to a lot of power, even at idle. If you power them off and on as needed it's better, but then it's not as convenient. Of course, if you leave a single machine with multiple GPUs on 24/7 that will also eat a lot of power, but it will be less than multiple machines turned on 24/7 at least.

And the physical space taken up by multiple desktop machines starts to add up significantly, particularly if you live in an apartment or smaller house.

Vanguard is especially bad because it will not allow to run the game with Intel-VT/AMD-V enabled even if you are running bare metal as of its last update.

The Vanguard anti-cheat is incredibly invasive and something akin to malware, so that's not surprising.

I’ve recently tried to do that using sunsine and different linux gaming distros and it was awful, the VM was working great for a few minutes and then suddenly crashes and I have to hard stop it.

Are you running this with something like libvirtd/qemu? If so, VFIO configurations can get pretty complex. Random crashes seem like MSI interrupt issues (or you've allocated too much RAM to the guest). Or it could be GPU reset issues that would also occur on the (Linux) host, a newer kernel and Mesa version in the guest may help.

Setting on the kernel commandline for the host to workaround MSR interrupt crashes:

kvm.ignore_msrs=1

If you're running on a Windows host or with something like Virtualbox (assuming GPU passthrough is supported by these), YMMV but I wouldn't expect good results.

LeechBlock is useful on desktops too, although it's just the browser and is more of a traditional time limiter.
