Yeah, Ethernet connectivity is a common issue in Linux. This is why it’s almost never used in servers. It’s definitely not something you are doing wrong.

Nothing but a lot of people who don’t know what they’re doing use them instead of routers or gateways. This gives their devices direct access to the internet which is a major security issue but it also means that they end up using all IP adresses that their ISP will provide. All new devices that try to connect will fail to get a new address. Then they go online and ask why their internet connection is shit.

I always get bad vibes when beginners talk about internet connectivity issues and are using a switch. You do have a router too, right?

Check out Wolf. It uses Sunshine and doesn’t require a dummy plug.

Or worse, it means you’re not as good as you thought you were.

Hey, sorry I didn’t reply until now but life has been pretty hectic and I also kinda borked my streaming VM right at the same time as I wrote that. I ran Nobara Linux for a while with KDE on Xorg and it actually worked pretty well. Then I decided I wanted to give Bazzite a try but I didn’t like the whole immutable thing. I went back to Nobara just to find that Steam Remote Play straight up didn’t work and I couldn’t know if I had failed to set up something properly or Valve just broke it while I was “away”. A couple of days ago I decided to just abandon Remote Play for the time being and deployed Games on Whales and it seems very promising so far. Much easier than fiddling with VM:s and GPU passthrough and Sunshine/Moonlight has never failed me.

I was totally in the same boat just a decade ago.

I run a gaming Linux VM on my server and it works fine.

Windows 11 is too proudy.

Do you want to run Windows?

Odd jobs, here and there.

I saw that option but it seems to actually install Emudeck instead

Thank you so much! I was not familiar with ujust at all but it did the trick! Then it only took two more days to configure Sunshine and the VM properly to work with Wayland.

I’m out.

Future-proofing with ext4? Come on.

Yeah, embracing open standards sounds like a totally Nintendo thing to do.

I laterally never use the word “entirely”. Fuck grandma, “entirely” looks weird.

I never say “entirely”, I say “entitlement”, therefore it just seems right to spell it how I always say it.

What the actual fuck. This is terrible!

Bitwarden and Vaultwarden

I don’t know about Mac OS but Bitwarden syncs just fine to my Android and Linux devices from my server.
