Here to read the internet.
I just found out that Blue Iris is made for Windows, so I guess I’ll be running BlueIris, NAS, and torrents back on windows, probably ltsc.
I know I could try a vm or other such, but I don’t feel like fighting BlueIris preferences.
Blows my mind that a “security and privacy” system like BI isn’t native to Linux.
I installed mint, kubuntu, and pop on a 3060 laptop, and 3080 desktop, and none had issues with GPU, drivers, or gaming. I am brand new to this, starting 2 weeks ago, I’m not experienced for sure.
Lutris gave me a command line to update vulkan, or similar, but otherwise mostly CLI-free too.
Pop specifically has an Nvidia iso as well.
THAT SAID- I still agree this is a “hobby” and if you don’t have time to mess with it, then Linux still isn’t “it just works!!” Like people will claim.
Not to go down a rabbit hole that’s off topic, but I’m generally not offended by Steam’s cut. The platform, advertising, centralizing, hosting, and cloud saves, etc etc, seem like a major benefit, especially for smaller developers, that would allow them to get to market faster, and with a much larger audience.
