I've been using Linux exclusively for ~14 years now. Heavily gaming on Linux only for the last ~8 years.

It was possible (though sometimes headache inducing) to play most games back then (Wine and soon Proton to thank) the biggest change IMHO came with SteamPlay since it turned the headache into one click on most games (thanks to the amazing work of wine/proton developers and the tinkering of the community).

When the SteamDeck released people seemed surprised at the breadth of games that were running on day one. To me it was not really a surprise since I had been Linux gaming with SteamPlay all the time and was almost expecting games to "just work" (though I still would and still am checking ProtonDB before purchase).

What the SteamDeck changed in my view was

  1. Showing "everyone" that Linux Gaming is a thing that's happening and been happening for a while. So maybe check it out?
  2. That a Handheld that doesn't have to work around Windows but uses a purpose built OS just makes a lot more sense

I feel that the SteamDeck with SteamOS has really put Linux, especially Linux gaming on the map. Even though I want to be like "Linux Gaming has been a thing forever, I was doing it before it was cool" ;) I have to recognize that fact. In the past years I've seen so many people setting up Linux especially by the way of SteamOS (using HoloISO, Chimera ...) just to play/mess with it which is also why I think an Official SteamOS release will make a huge difference.

Tl;dr: Gaming on Linux was a thing before. But the SteamDeck/SteamOS 3 made a huge impact nonetheless.

Hey. Some questions and prompts for output so we can diagnose better.

  1. How are you running jellyfin? Is the Laptop a general purpose computer that you also use as a server? If so, are you running as your own (unprivileged user) or are you running it as root?
  2. How and where did you change the port?
  3. Can you post your config file (should be in /etc/jellyfin can't look it up rn).
  4. Can you post the output of
    sudo systemctl status jellyfin
    sudo ss -tulpn | grep jellyfin

I don't wanna be the party pooper here, but Die Hard is a specifically American Christmas Movie. I'm not saying that other people can't or shouldn't enjoy it as a Christmas Movie if so inclined.

But as a German what we "traditionally" watch as Christmas Movies/Shows is something completely different (though also varying greatly from region to region and family to family. I for one still enjoy "Weihnachten bei den Hoppenstedts" a lot my father mostly insists on seeing "Familie Heinz Becker feiert Weihnachten". A movie a lot of people consider to be a Christmas Movie as far as I can tell is "Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel".

Again I'm not saying that people can't consider "American" Christmas Movies as their own or make them their traditions a friend of mine insists that "In Bruges" is the ultimate Christmas Movie. I just think saying "We all agree" is making it to simple

Edit: Read some more comments and maybe I misunderstood the premise. I'm not saying "Die Hard is not a Christmas Movie" what I'm trying to say is "Christmas Movies are what people make their Christmas Movie regardless of if they are Christmas-y" if I started watching Shrek at every Christmas it would be my Christmas Movie. But I feel what OP wanted to say was "There are Movies that are considered Christmas Movies because of the content and Die Hard should be considered one of them".

Seriously. I work in IT (mostly Linux) but whatever OS 90% of the Job is knowing how to properly phrase problems for Google and then you just need to know how/where to apply solutions.

Obviously there is no one easy explanation here (as you can see by all the different responses).

I think evolutionary factors play into a general affection people have for boobs. They are humans first source of food and with it an extremely intimate contact. Also on a "birth readiness" perspective Boobs on a woman suggest that she can feed a child (just as wide hips suggest she can bear one).

There is something to be said about culture. Since boobs are considered "sexual" they have to be covered in "decent" settings (see also discussions about female presenting nipples on social media) which simply adds to their sexualization.

Also, in my sexual experience (Bi male) nipples and breasts (boobs/man boobs ...) are erogenous zones so playing with them (touching/pinching/kissing/biting...) actually is arousing thus they are "sexual" parts.

Thats just my two cents.

Haha ich hatte auch grade Berufsschul-Flashbacks. Ich glaub marode Bausubstanz und unterirdische Toiletten sind ja mehr oder weniger standard für alle Schulen 🙈 aber bei einer Berufsschule für Informatiker so schlechte/Veraltete Technik ist wirklich unterirdisch. Ich erinnere mich noch das ich im Programmier Unterricht eine Frage hatte. Der Lehrer war eh nicht zu gebrauchen dann hab ich gegoogelt... Das hat ungefähr 5 minuten gedauert...

Started on Gnome 2 for a short stint then used Unity for a while (used to be Ubuntus DM). When I switched away from Ubuntu I was still looking for something "familiar" so switching to Gnome (it was like 3.8 at the time) felt right. Have been using Gnome ever since.

I've thought about switching to KDE a few times (when Gnome made some bone headed decision) but the way key combos and workflows are ingrained to me I would just set up any DE to feel like Gnome so why should I switch.

Das wäre auch meine Frage. Weil ALG-2 reduzieren ist absolutes No-Go heißt ja aus dem.gtund "Existenzminimum".

Ah damn. Yeah haven't used gpodder in a while didn't know it couldn't sync with gpodder nextcloud. ... Sorry.

[–] somenonewho 2 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Well antennapod supports syncing to "gpodder.net" which has the clue in the name "gpodder" is a desktop app for podcasts.

I've had a few issues before with syncing with gpodder.net but the gpodder API running as a nextcloud app works like a charm.

I've never understood the Mint hype. Like you say it seems like Ubuntu with extra steps.

I do have beefs with some of the decisions Canonical makes but if anyone asks me what distri they should start with I will always recommend Ubuntu simply because it's "the distro" if you search for "Linux" tutorials online 9 times out of 10 you will get a tutorial aimed at Ubuntu. Packages for software that isn't in repos are usually available as .deb ...
