Sweet, hadn’t even occurred to me to look for that so I’m glad you pointed it out!

Btw just in case you aren’t aware, the nag can be done away with. I don’t have a link off the top of my head but it’s out there.

FWIW I’ve been daily driving Bazzite on the deck for several months and it’s been smooth sailing, no complaints here. You’d think it’s stock if I just handed it to you with no context. I did it mostly because I could tbh, but I love the extra functionality!

That all said, last I checked it wasn’t fully functional on the OLED model. Not sure that’s changed.

Yeah, you’re probably right. I didn’t connect the dots that’s what you’d need here, my bad.

Ah, I see. I’ll check it out!

Yeah, I feel that. I’ve settled on telmate’s but there’s a few things I’ve had to implement as hacky post creation SSH edits on the config files, such as passing through the Intel GPU to my Jellyfin container.

I don’t have much actual experience with it but you can run arbitrary shell commands in at least cloud-init, the others should be able to do the same. Maybe that could work? Definitely better than manually running scripts, at least.

It’s not a feature I’ve used myself but I’m pretty sure you can create Jellyfin playlists and collections spanning different libraries, so that could work if you’re okay with some manual curation

I use Proxmox, running a mix of regular and NixOS based LXCs. One of those also runs Docker for simpler services.

That’s totally valid, just wanted to share my two cents from having messed with systemd a fair bit. At any rate, congrats, that’s a win for sure! :)

I’ve always been under the impression they don’t support multi touch at all, I guess your findings corroborate that. Niche as your use case is, I do love the idea though!

It sounds to me the target you’d want here is network-online.target, going by the info here

I’ve been thinking about that. It’s the one walled garden I don’t mind, I’ve poured shameful amounts into it but the thought is always there in the background that it can’t go on like this forever.

At the end of the day I don’t mind too much and just try to enjoy it while it lasts, since worst comes to worst I’ll just have to sacrifice some convenience and dive back into full-time piracy to regain access to the vast majority of the content anyway. The wonders of an open platform!

Potentially skim through awesome-selfhosted’s budgeting section as well just in case, although at a glance it looks like ihatemoney is the one standout service that fits your use case anyway

Ah, it seems they’ve added Nix on 3.5, that’s quite nice! At the very least I love using Home Manager to basically setup everything CLI and more. Overengineered dotfiles with extra bells and whistles, if you will!

My past experiences with actually daily driving NixOS hadn’t been too great either so I hear you there. I don’t use it on my desktop rn because my setup is regrettably too tied to Windows atm but I sure love the thing.

Honestly, the short answer is because I think it’s cool and because I can haha.

The long answer is because several features I appreciate would be either impossible or extremely painful to pull off on the stock OS. In no particular order, off the top of my head:

• I like the idea of having a fedora based OS that’s stable but still as close to bleeding edge as it gets when it comes to the kernel, mesa and whatnot while retaining the steam niceties and getting easy rollbacks on top
• Easier to customize, I have my own fork with a couple of tweaks on top of mainline Bazzite
• Trying out new desktop environments comes as easy as rebasing to another image
• Btrfs with compression and deduplication on by default does wonders for space savings on proton prefixes
• It optionally installs Nix and it’s my preferred package manager (and OS!)

For a more practical example on why I appreciate the more recent packages, I remember getting that new mesa release with considerably smaller shader caches months ago, I’m not even sure vanilla Steam OS already has it.

With all that said, it really does mostly boil down to my just feeling like tinkering a little anyway. There are cool advantages but they’re pretty niche at the end of the day, I’m just the kind of nerd who loves experimenting. Hell, I’m considering test driving NixOS for the heck of it.

Haha you’re good, thanks for the heads-up! I just assumed I’d missed some sort of controversy lol

Why ick? Guess I’m out of the loop on that one

Totally fair. On the updates, it’s a fedora based rolling release of sorts so you get kernel updates way earlier and steam updates just as regularly as vanilla on top, pretty sure it follows the preview branch by default. I remember back when I installed it I had the new color vibrancy slider months before 3.5 hit and the new mesa with smaller shader cache sizes and whatnot too.

Lmk if you happen to need any help with it, I’m no expert but would love to lend a hand!
