Sometimes, I feel like the average Linux user is just on very old or at the very least pretty old hardware.

I know I am probably wrong, but it just seems odd that in X11 my 8 year old ultrawide 144hz 1080p monitor is literally a stuttery and jittery mess when moving windows, when animations play, and even moving the cursor around. I believe I tried playing a game, and it also being a stuttery mess, but I can’t remember as that was around 6-7 months ago.

Using Wayland, on the other hand, as soon as I logged in for the first time it was definitely noticeably NOT like it was in X11. Frame rate was 144hz, everything mentioned above just worked as I would expect. It even feels smoother than Windows which I still have to use every now and then. Gaming on it is a blast 99% of the time, and I game A LOT! (completed ~10 games on openSUSE Tumbleweed just this year!)

So, sometimes I just feel like I said, and as I also said, I’m probably wrong. I have never logged back into X11 except when I upgraded my graphics card a month or so ago because of the stuttery feeling of X11. Some things did work better under X11, I guess, but that is probably because of the stagnant adoption of Wayland?

Besides me using Linux since the beginning of this year until now, I am still a Linux noob, so my opinions are just that. I have no real knowledge of Linux that would qualify me to be any good source of info. I just don’t get the slow adoption is all!

I got a Dell computer that was headed towards the dump from some older people, and installed TrueNAS Scale onto it. It has almost replaced my Synology I got three years ago, I just need to bite the bullet and buy new drives for it!

Mine too. Been tinkering with Linux since I was a lad, sudo apt get / sudo apt update is ingrained into my brain.

Now, after running openSUSE Tumbleweed, sudo zypper ref / sudo zypper dup

Still a Linux noob, but I have never loved an operating system more than I have openSUSE. :)

Awh, trust me, I totally understand! I can also recommend downloading the game fresh, zipping it up afterwards, and then start tinkering. That way if you mess something up, you can delete the entire folder contents and unzip the files back into the folder for a “fresh” install!

You may know this too, but in case anyone else comes across our conversation! :)

Hey there! In case you weren’t aware, Nexus Mods has something like Wabbajack, that they call Collections. Literally click and install, and start playing! I’ve tried quite a few this way, and highly recommend it. No longer going through pages and pages of mods to find the “correct” ones that work with the version you are on! :)

Thank you!

I see that it has a container image for use. TrueNAS Scale has given me some issues before, but since it is being recommended, I will give it a go!

Hey, OP! I was recently gifted a desktop PC, with one spare drive, and 2 drives I had in storage for “bad sectors”. I popped the old ones in (because I have a backup) and downloaded and installed TrueNAS Scale.

TrueNAS’ web UI is BEAUTIFUL and very informative at a glance. What I was NOT prepared for, was the permissions. Like you, I started out with a Synology, because I didn’t know anything. It did what it needed to do, and that was fine. I use Plex and Jellyfin, and the new desktop had a 1660 Super in it, so you bet your ass I wanted to put that to use!

TrueNAS isn’t as easy as Synology, and like I said, the permissions thing really threw me for a loop because of how the wording on things is. To me, it isn’t in english so to speak. I learned a few tricks here and there, so if you need any help, feel free to reach out and I’ll try to help! :)

:P

I have tried to use Mastodon, and I appreciate what is is, but I just don’t see the appeal. It feels like I’m trying to interact with nothing, and no one, ever seeing it. Feels like speaking to the void.

With how predatory the “dating” market apps are, I think something like this would be wonderful to use to find friends or love in a way that doesn’t prey upon loneliness. Kudos to the devs, and I hope to see this project get wildly popular. No one deserves to have their loneliness taken advantage of.
