Bazzite, perhaps? I don’t have the dongle but all of my controllers have worked with it out of the box and I have a couple weird ones. It’s gaming focused so you might have some luck with it.

Also as others have said: xone.

radiodroid is also great. it’s an interface for radio-browser.info

have these streams been added to radio-browser.info?

Kept my parents’ desktop running for 14 years with Debian, XFCE, and the occasional hardware replacement. Maybe a bit of a PC of Theseus scenario but it worked pretty great.

Organic Maps works really well and uses OSM, though searching for business names is kind of wonky. also, GMaps WV is a wrapper around the web interface for Google Maps that works pretty well.

Redlib is a handy accountless frontend for reddit that still works

Third party app without an account maybe? Freetube on the desktop and newpipe on the phone is what I like to use. There’s stuff like grayjay, tubearchivist, and pinchflat as well. Or just go straight yt-dlp.

back in the dial-up and bbs days, i kept plenty of floppy disks (and later CDs) with my favorite media on them to play when i visited friends. in more recent history i have placed my digital media backups on drives to play at friends’ houses. it’s nice to be offline now and then.

while not technically sneakernet, we did have a piratebox set up at an office that i leased for backing up media collectively.

All my homies hate Nintendo.

this is absolutely incredible. thank you so much!

I have been looking for something like this for ages. Wish it could be integrated into freetube and newpipe. Thanks for sharing!

I’m out of the loop. What happened to libgen?

“secure” boot, the industry standard for ensuring that devices don’t run software other than Windows during the bootup process

FTFY

Newpipe appears to be working

Pi-hole on an ancient pi zero w.

I’ve got a little MSI box with 16GB of RAM, 500GB SSD, and a quad core i3 running Proxmox. Home Assistant is in its own VM, I have a VM for a bastion host/jump box of sorts for a client’s network (yes, I know VPNs exist), and then a VM running a few Docker containers: CheckMK, Dozzle, Uptime Kuma, and The TP-Link Omada Controller software. I intend to migrate those to Podman eventually.

On my desktop in Podman, I’m running Dashy, Redlib, and Dozzle regularly. Sometimes I run other services but those are pretty persistent. I use Podman on my local machine for my development work and it’s just handy to have Redlib and Dashy right here.

I tend to interact with things via SSH unless it’s a webshit.

I think the elite offers a lot for that price. Swappable sticks and back paddles, trigger stops, multiple profiles, adjustable tension, etc. It’s basically an OEM “custom” controller.

That being said, I like other controllers better than my elite.

I’ve been enjoying the GameSir G7 for a while. It’s wired but I kind of prefer that. My first G7 had a faulty left stick in the first two months. I think it was faulty from the beginning but I just didn’t notice it. I sent them a video of the issue and they replaced it outright.

It’s a bit smaller than my Xbox elite controller and it feels pretty great. I like the clicky dpad and the two back buttons. Stick tension is nice as well.

I’d like to see trigger stops but they haven’t done that yet. I’d also like to have clicky face buttons so I’m considering one of their khaleid controllers. Those are minor nitpicks, though. This controller has been terrific.

I have been using the hell out of bazzite for the last few weeks and I’ve really enjoyed it. There have been a couple of minor bugs but otherwise everything just generally works.

I’ve enjoyed it so much that I’ve also installed bluefin on my work laptop.

Not OP but:

• on a desktop it’s defaulted to desktop mode. I’m unsure about the steam deck.

• you choose. KDE or GNOME. Budgie is being worked on.

• lutris can install your windows executables. Bottles is available too.

The only games I’m unable to play so far have been AAA games with unfriendly anticheat. ProtonDB helps here.

Echoing the other sentiments, it’s probably a good idea to hunt down why your system is having trouble because distro hopping might not fix it.

That being said I’ve recently been using bazzite and it’s been relatively smooth. You just have to learn a couple (easy) ways to do package management a little differently.
