If you don't want to mess with the surface kernel, I've had 100 percent compatibility with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. No different kernel required on all 5 of my surface devices.

Do people really have issues with HDR? I calibrated my TV once when I bought it and it's been incredible since.

I use Linux daily but honestly I don't game on it and I watch movies on my proper hdr10+ dolby display so HDR on Linux was never even a thought in my head.

Would this affect PorkBun if it were to be implemented?

Damn it man. I want arm laptops to be good. I can't justify buying anything apple even with Asahi as good as it is now.

For kids stuff I found stremio and torrentio to be easy if a bit convoluted to set up.

Ubuntu is Debian with extra steps.

Did you set up recurring searches for new episodes? Idk what it is set to be default but you have to set each show to do episode searches at a given interval.

I got my kid a rugged smart phone. It’s pretty locked down and whatnot because he’s young but unfortunately there’s no way I’m going to send him to Public school without a phone, just in case.

Honestly I use Google family link. I know people on here are against Google but it just makes monitoring the kids easier.

Personally I have no foxes for you, but these are issues I’ve never seen myself. Perhaps there’s simply something wrong with your install and a clean reinstall would fix things.

Garuda is great. It did get me addicted to the fish shell though and I’ve since moved back to windows for work reasons and I hate everything now.

I have the same configuration running on all my devices, my kids and my wife’s too, it’s wonderful.

I’m one of the crazy people who spent 4 grand on a 85 inch dumb display meant for stores to use as digital signage. Honestly a great decision. It’s no home theater display but damn if it isn’t just as good as any smart tv I’ve seen. I just have it hooked to a raspberry pi running librelec.

That was kinda the idea. We just moved and I wanted to get something set up that I wouldn’t have to worry about for at least a decade.

I’ve got a wife and a kid and I will say that I live in butt-fuck nowhere where everything is cheaper than anywhere else, however groceries are still getting way too expensive.

I personally use fluent reader on my PC and phone. It’s the best one I’ve found so far.

Gnome. I’m a Mac refugee from a decade ago. I’ve been using gnome with dash2dock and dash2panel together to make a sudo Mac os.

Lol yeah I’m dumb and tired

As long as a gnome spin stays maintained. I’ve been using gnome for 8 years and I really don’t want to switch distros again.

I truly don’t have a problem with ads being in a free service. My anger will be based on how annoying they are when they roll out.

Nextcloud is technically a solid product if your goal is to replace all the Google services. Personally I think it’s too heavy and I’ve had issues with using it vs using specialized apps for each service I’m replacing.

I love a good personal library as a background for my video calls but honestly I do digital books cause I don’t have room.

More people need to operate like Linus Torvalds. Call people on their shit. Respectfully of course.

The only good part of Reddit was dumb shit like this not showing up on my feeds.

Tailscale is probably your best option.

rizoid , 1 month ago

Here to say Seafile. I also don’t like nextcloud. I used pydio cells for a while but the windows sync client absolutely never worked for me. Seafile has been flawless for 2 months for me.

AntennaPod is great and Audiobookshelf is my preferred app, if you’re into self hosting services.

The epub reader needs work imo, however it’s more than usable and its what I use myself. Once the reader gets a few qol updates I’ll always recommend it over Cal-web or kavita.

I’ve got an order out for a digital signage display to replace my living room tv. It was more than I would’ve spent on a “smart” tv but it’s a dumb box that I can plug anything I want into. If they sold dumb TV’s still I’d probably upgrade some of the other TV’s my family has, but fuck smart TV’s.

Sharp NEC is the brand I bought from. They have models you can put a raspberry pi directly inside of it. I’ve got a pi with librelec waiting for the screen to show up. However they’re really expensive. Sceptre makes more affordable dumb TV’s but they don’t make very large ones.

rizoid , 2 months ago

The 85 inch display I’ve got coming is listed as 4k HDR with full array local dimming. As far as actual accuracy is concerned, I’ve heard good things about Sharp NEC specifically but I won’t know until my unit eventually arrives.

Docker is a great choice with lots of good tutorials. I personally use podman since all my servers are now running Fedora server and podman is installed by default.

I use Firefox cause it’s easier to get people to switch to something that’s already in every app store.

I use deemix to get songs and jellyfin/finamp to listen on my phone. I do miss the discovery of new music from things like Spotify or YouTube music. If anyone has suggestions for music discovery I’d love to hear about them.

My in-laws have all Roku tvs. I had to go over and “fix” the TV’s for them cause they didn’t understand what the hell this was. I straight up just gave them my modded Nvidia shields and bought myself some more. Fuck that shit. We need a better open source tv like interface. I’ve used plasma big screen but it’s not ready for normal people with not Linux but fixing experience.

rizoid , 2 months ago

Maybe modded is the wrong word. They’re rooted with a different launcher and my pihole does it’s best to block telemetry. Getting rid of the Google launcher with ads on it is a major improvement.

I’m putting together a parts list for a new living room set up. We’re getting a giant digital signage display and connecting it to my htpc.

I mean who cares? But also why? My old job title was “software engineer” and I just did web dev.

Hosting my own with jellyfin has honestly changed my consumption of media.

I moved to Antennapod then ended up using Audiobookshelf since I was already hosting it for my wife’s audiobooks.

rizoid , 2 months ago

So for antennapod I used gpodder Sync. It’s not really ideal imo but hosting audiobookshelf has been perfect for me. It’s all on the server so no matter what device I’m on, everything is the same.
