Yeah, I guarantee you google isn't interested in showing you one or the other. They want the revenue from both. My only question is, if you pause an ad, can you get another ad in your ad?

I was unaware. How cool though.

Unlikely, the warframe community for Linux is pretty large. I even remember the Nobara discord had a channel just for warftame. I've been playing warframe for over a year on Linux with no issue. The ban is likely unrelated to proton.

Pornhub is an example of exactly this. They've blocked whole stares like Arkansas and Utah over these kinds of laws. I highly doubt pornhub has a physical presence in Arkansas of all places.

When I first moved to linux I felt this same way. It gets better. Now days I fucking love those 15 page ReadMes and I'm not bothered if there's no steps for my distro. The sheer volume of documentation surrounding linux packages is insane. There's often a ton of ways to configure and manage the to fit your needs. That freedom is what I love so much about linux.

As for the ones with 2 lines, I don't think I've seen that as much. I generally would avoid them unless the source was clear what the project did.

At any rate there will come a day when it starts to click. It's just a marathon not a sprint.

I switched in November. I have no regrets. I rarely run into issues, and having the control to make decisions over my own computer is superb.

Well for me I have: RAM - 32gb ddr5 corsair vengeance MOBO - gigabyte b650 aorus elite CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 7900 GPU - sapphire Raedon rx 7900 xtx CASE - corsair airflow 4700d PSU - gol 850w can't remember the model atm COOLER - Ek nucleus aio 240

That should leave you well within budget depending on storage. I have 2 Samsung 2tb m.2s. But you may not need that much. I run popos on it and have had no issues with it at all.

I bought everything listed during black Friday minus the case and psu because I pulled those out of my old rig. Total cost for everything but the case and psu, but including storage was about 1,900 after tax.

Edit: I see you mentioned not being great with hardware. You should check out pc part picker. It's good for compatability. For the most part. It will NOT account for actual dimensions as they relate to the case, fans, RAM. Etc. You should absolutely read up on your preferred case dimensions, length of your graphics card, and fan size (especially in the case of using an aio liquid cooler). That said if you have room for it I do love the corsair airflow case. Plenty of room, good thermals, easy clean. Only complaint is that the psu slot felt small and it is a pain to get in and out. I guess Ideally you aren't taking your psu out often so it won't matter.

Naa cast-iron pan user. Throw that shit in a fire, melt away the bad and star it over.

Also kidding, but maybe.

It's probably that lemmy is a much smaller community coupled with lemmy users likely being more tech literate, in general, than redditors. Not that people on lemmy don't have questions but that they're more self reliant. At least in my own case I often will spend hours digging for answers before I'd post asking.

"I promise" followed by anything. That thing will 100% not happen.

Honestly, that's not bad for a start. That Xeon should be fine for most things. I run an amd 4650g pro and never get close to using it all.

Side Note: The people over at !selfhosted@lemmy.world have been immensely helpful for me in my brief journey so far.

What will you be hosting on? I started with a raspberry pi. It was important to me to host on something outside my main machine. I chose the pi because it would run linux, use very little electricity, and would remain out of the way.

Initially it was for pi-hole. Which is a network wide DNS filter used to block ads (with some exceptions like YT). That got me more interested in my own privacy. So, I added a searx instance to my pi. It's an aggregate search engine that searches a bunch of search engines and won't track me. Or at least I'm tracking myself.

I've never run a minecraft server on a pi but I have a friend who has. It was fine for up to about 4 people.

From there I actually built a rig specifically for hosting. It's a little more stout than the pi. On it I run Proxmox (which I use to create linux containers for the other things I host). I do run a file share on it. It's nice because it's easy to run weekly backups so I don't lose things. I also run a vpn, qbittorrent (for linux isos), jackett (indexes torrents), sonarr (used to... find movies I'm missing), jellyfin (to watch said movies anywhere in the house) and finally I do host a valheim server there for my friend's and I.

Honestly I would at least start with a dedicated machine for it, maybe an old laptop, a pi, just anything cheap that if you screw up you can wipe and start over. From there: pi hole, seaex, retro game box maybe? There's really a lot of things you can host. Find a need you have a Google a linux solution for it. There's almost always one.
