Mine works about the same on Linux as it did on Windows. I paid for it so no need to pirate it. If I hadn't paid for it I probably would've started using something else.

I like Craigslist, and honestly it's pretty good now. There just isn't anyone on there as compared to Facebook marketplace.

It's fuckin' unavoidable. I don't use any part of it, except for Marketplace, because nothing like it exists. It doesn't matter if it's shit, it's where the stuff is listed for sale.

As for the rest of it, I just quit. Conversations I used to have on messenger have moved elsewhere.

Tbh I didn't think of my stuff as a home lab, though I guess it is. I just call them my home servers. Sounds cooler and is a better phrase for describing to non-techies imo.

I moved to Kubuntu recently. I'm overall happier, but I've had a number of pain points.

1. I bought DaVinci Resolve thinking they supported Linux. They do, just very poorly. Figuring out how to get that up and running was a faff. Davinci Resolve also doesn't support AAC audio on MP4 files on Linux, so I had to write a script to transcode the audio of media to WAV. It also doesn't play nice with window management. Overall, using resolve has been a huge pain.

2. I use Insta360s software just to stitch 360 video, getting that set up with bottles wasn't the most straightforward but it works now.

3. I still haven't figured out Fusion360, and I really don't want to spend the time learning a new software. I learned it before I'd started making an effort to only use cross-platform tools.

4. I bought the Xbox Store version of Forza Horizon 5 so I could play it on my PC and Xbox. I no longer have the Xbox, and I'd have to re-buy it on Steam if I wanted to play it.

5. My Index just isn't detected on Ubuntu. It was on Windows. I've tried a bunch of things, but it just doesn't show up, so I haven't been able to play VR. It might have a bad cable, but I'm not sure. Weird that it showed up before and doesn't in Kubuntu.

Linux is all about finding alternatives. There is an alternate workflow, but you might have to deal with inconveniences or put in effort to learn something new. It's been a lot of work. Also, I might need to dual boot windows to play VR stuff.

My thoughts exactly. My Xbox is spying on me instead.

And if it does, they'll thank him for helping them to disconnect.

Ahh, that's valid. I've been wanting to build a (relatively) small 16TB SSD NAS for video editing, after which I could dump footage to my main NAS. SSD NAS systems can definitely make sense depending on your use case. Hell, you can even game off of them if you've got 10gig networking.

Why do you turn off the NAS at night? Reminds me of my grandparents turning off the wifi at night.

Why do so many of you throw tantrums over this

Sweet sweet irony.

If it's random and unfair, why do I consistently win more than others I play with?

Many good games have some luck, some skill, and some strategy. Mario Kart has all of these. Strategy in how and when to use your items, skill to drive/drift/etc, and luck in which items you get. It strikes a really good balance of this, which results in me, someone who's an above average player, winning most of the time, but keeping it fun for those who aren't as skilled, like my parents, where sometimes they can get one over me due to some luck, strategy, or a mistake on my part.

Finally, let people live their lives, and maybe git gud. It kinda sounds like you just suck, and are salty about it.

Have you ever used a water bottle? They have a rubber seal in the lid that needs to be removed for cleaning. Same concept with sippy cups.
