I have bazzite, it also includes graphics drivers ready to go which is nice. If you’re going to use steam for gaming i find it great. But this distro is not needed for gaming, one can install and game on any of the popular distros. You’re friend needs to try a few and see what feel best for them.

Wow really? I have tried to use Turbo tax and QuickBooks a few times with wine and no success. Maybe time for a revisit.

Evening is going ok, but noticed the screen saver on jellyfin isn’t showing up lately… need to investigate…

Also, watched the latest “Explaining Computers” episode today.

Yeah, i have an example of this. I spent since time today building a local copy of handbrake have it run in a distrobox of arch to get AMD hardware acceleration as an option. The flatpak version refused to do this. It wasn’t too bad, but still wild i did this.

Maybe Tiny 11 was the answer?

Same, I’m not gaming, but this distro for me that I find just working. I used Aurora for a bit before making the switch.

The steps look good. It’s running Alpine. I wonder how long this takes start to helloworld.

why not keep the Synology as use it for storage only?

time for me to find an alternative
