Ouch, that sucks yeah. Guess I got lucky with the games my friends like to play. Only one is I guess Valorant, but I don't engage with that one anyways. Guess you're stuck on the dual boot until devs of these games start ticking the Proton support box :P

I'd like to read about this, but I don't see a URL? Is it just this image?

What games keep you on Windows? Besides a few anticheat-enabled ones which choose not to support it, basically everything works fine. I game (and work in gamedev!) 100% on Linux.

Never heard of FuriLabs, looks really cool. How open is the OS/hardware? Could be my next phone... though I'd love to see an immutable approach so I can't be left with a broken system after an update.

I think this pinpointa what makes configuring Linux so much fun for me. It's one little problem/challenge after the next, it never prevents me from working but it does always give me something to work toward. Currenrly working on a notification display for my bar, and I hope it will be just as satisfying in the end as when I got my mouse to animate with movements or when I got my config to set my wallpapers correctly no matter the host.

The article is good, however I'd really appreciate having fedi-style content warnings on AI-generated images. I don't interact with mainstream social mediums so I generally do not see it, however in the thumbnail and contents of the article there are some quite disturbing images and videos that I'd have chosen not to see (description is enough) given the choice...

Good news!

Good point.. I tend to give family members Flatpak-based distros like Fedora for the nice app store experience, but I guess if you can get past the scaryness of test editing and rebuilding with a console, NixOS does come with the benefit of having waaaay more packages and much easier rollback. My poor father trying to run nvidia drivers on Fedora Kinoite, who has to rebuild the kernel for every package install...

Does your wife install packages with NixOS? This is one of the few distros I tried (and now main) that I genuinely cannot recommend to anyone not willing to spend days learning the lang & concepts.

Sooo how root-able are these? My family has had one unplugged for a couple years now, we tried to use it to reach less-techy family but the French localization was abysmal, so it's stayed in the drawer of shame since. Seems like a good time to take it out and mess with it!

Awesome stuff :) I look forward to seeing a Wayland backend implemented, so Dolphin can join all the other emulators on the modern Linux desktop as it deserves.

It's an ordinary consumer wifi 4 router (by a company named Renkforce). I was able to use WDS with it previously, but I haven't got it working since flashing openwrt, which is why I was trying relayd. A hotspot from my phone works (but is really slow obviously). I suspect something is wrong with my interface or firewall setup, given the colors of the interfaces.
