Nothing on the scale of most the things mentioned here, but I'm trying to assemble the first version of my digital garden to publish online a bunch of notes I've collected over many years. I'm also trying to put together a workable system to catalogue and index hundreds of thousands of digital images scattered across multiple devices so I can deduplicate them and collate them effective. Digital Librarian is not a hat I ever thought I'd end up wearing, but I refuse to buy more 18Tb HDDs and still not have any means to locate pictures in a meaningful way.

I can run 99% on Linux + AMD + X11, on Ubuntu 24. The only problematic one is Witcher 3 which insists on Wayland which breaks everything else. Even the UT5 titles work well enough, but then again our gaming is not your gaming and you might be more demanding that we are.

I'm trying to recall how NVidia behaved for games, but my daily driver is an old 1050 Ti that's been rock solid for years now, also X11.

Maybe the problem is Wayland not NVidia?

Most likely Wayland, I don't recall many of the problems occuring before that

Having failed to get Wayland working on Debian Trixie with a 1050 Ti as an upgrade from X11, I've given up for now and will try again when I switch to AMD. This is a workstation not used for games so it'd be good to have Wayland working right but I'm not wasting time fighting it, and it'll get the GPU from the gaming rig when it becomes due nullifying the problem.

What I don't get is if these are proscribed steps (and they do read as such) why are they not automated with the module install? Why are we still fighting these issues if the 'workaround' is linear and well described? Is it as flimsy a reason as "write-an-article, collect-advertising-revenue" rather than contribute code to the installer?

I have 3 intel gpus. One for light gaming and desktop use (3 screens), another one for light gaming and one for video transcoding. The experience is flawless for me. One of the cards seems to have issues with qemu and opengl rendering, but it is an older model and is no longer sold retail.

Implying that Linux gamers have to play with cheaters. It may as well not be playable at all.

Actually it kind of works out because cheaters want to play with people who aren't cheating. The few servers that run with anti-cheat disabled would have small communities that aren't attractive to cheaters.

play on good servers. play with good people.

Maybe not, but they are approaching it. I wouldn't use it for anything funded with my own cash, I no longer recommend it as a first choice, but I'm not suggesting it gets replaced yet. It's somewhat in the 'legacy tech' category now in terms of how I perceive it and deal with it.

How much is BigAI paying Moz to integrate these things? I has to be about the dollar surely?

If it doesn't run on Windows, how can it call itself Winamp? Macosamp makes more sense.

OS/Xamp perhaps.

Joking aside, there's Audacious[1], which is an excellent and cross-platform player, with support for Winamp skins. Also check out WebAmp[2] and the skin museum[3].

OS/Xamp, pronounced Oh-sex-amp :o)

It really slaps the llama’s ass!

It's a clone with a stolen name, and given that it's not been abandoned it's likely they'll come down on this like a bag of hammers.

Seems like Mr. Greenwood may be too green to know what's coming!

Apple Music would seem the obvious choice.

Absolutely is fragmented. Even though I own a Wii I've never played Zelda or any Mario games, and I don't think I know anyone who owns a modern Nintendo. We all live in bubbles. And we change bubbles occasionally; I no longer play Fifa or CoD mostly because of the kernel anti-cheat. I got bored of CSGO. I play less gory games now because of family. We play less Lego games because we grow up.
