Hang on there. Yes, NextCloud photos is kinda a dump, not gonna lie. Do not like.
But Nextcloud Memories is a labor of love, and it’s been freaking AWESOME. A little bit of Docker knowhow and the NextCloud AiO image is a great combo.

I know KDE’s Dolphin has this built in, but I’m so afraid to use it because I imagine it’ll take ages, and it wouldn’t be recognized by anything else. 😬
All those “active listening” skills to trick people into thinking you’re paying attention or care. Lol
Thanks, I was about to suggest this too. Aegis is awesome. :) I can’t understand why most banks sms a code instead of using something like this. It’s insanity.
I’ve mostly heard it from musicians on various distro forums and such for some reason. You’re right, there’s JACK, and low latency versions of kernels and all sorts of other stuff. (LMMS is more than fine for my experience level lol)
Mainly I think it’s because a lot of the fancy paid DAWs or plugins boil down to Windows, but I’m not an experienced musician myself to really know what their exact complaints are.
I think it still might just be FUD generated by frustrated people, because sometimes you gotta do a little more than “unzip and run” for a lot of plugins.
Elsewhere in the thread people say he’s an “audio guy”, so that’s actually kinda neat if he’s going to Linux.
We’ve made progress on the Linux gaming front, now we need to dispell “Y’but you can’t use Linux if you’re into sound.” :)
Okay, a suspicious thanks to you, Microsoft…
…So when can we get this treatment for WMR so all our VR headsets don’t become useless bricks kthaaaanks!
Wouldn’t mind those sweet tunes coming back though.
We’ve come full circle to downloading and running things with titles like:
“BMWaReZ_UnSUSSer+HeetSeeter-v4.20.69.appimage”
That’s sweet to hear somebody talking about a long-forgotten game like Gnomoria so fondly. I hope somehow that reaches a dev. :D
I have this one sitting in my library too, and it did make me sad that it’s forever unfinished. Didn’t know about that nasty Linux bug! Wish at that point, they would just open source it lol.
In the meantime I’ve really been enjoying Rimworld as a DF-like experience. :)
OpenSUSEs snapshots and the way they’re configured out of the box is an absolute godsend and gangbanger for newcomers.
I have a general idea of how to set this sort of thing up in almost any distro now, but this is absolutely one of the ideas that swept me off my feet with OpenSUSE. I like a lot of distros but keep coming back to that wild little tumbleweed chameleon/geeko. :D
Like FOSS philosophy:
Both can exist, and both are great, and that’s okay. :)
Haha I dunno I thought it was a pretty good primer for people seeking it out, and people in this community are super helpful and mentor-like in my experience.
I wouldn’t even call myself a beginner anymore, but I read the whole thing. :)
Exactly. Both Manjaro and Ubuntu have had a certain history of “silly misguided shenanigans” that sorta damage trust. You just never know when the next stunt might be pulled.
I personally didn’t have too many problems with Manjaro on my gaming laptop, but have since moved to EndeavourOS, which I’m enjoying very much. :D
I get what you mean. When updating Linux mint, the “This needs to get some additional packages too” window, relatively benign, has a big scary ⚠️/ /!\
on it.
Felt the need to explain to the person I was installing it for. “That’s totally normal, just look it over first and continue.”
…like, it’s gonna do that almost every time it updates, it doesn’t need to look scary. :|
Nexus mods is working on a Linux client which is really exciting! Also Steam Workshop works on Linux. This covers a ton of use cases.
Not saying everything is 100% perfection, but it’s easier than ever to switch, and only getting easier.
I imagine “Windows locked mods” would probably also benefit from just disconnecting the internet and keeping it set up just the way one likes it, since MS is gonna drop Win10 soon.
That’s the case with WMR VR headsets. Sadly don’t see those getting cracked to work on Linux any time soon. :(
Thanks, this was hugely helpful. For some reason half the comments here made it about politics.
Interested to see where this new software actually goes.
Added bonus is that it runs MegaMek natively
This is always a fun thing to read in the wild. Keep on stompin’, MechWarrior! O7 (salute)
Gentoo might have been quite a leap! :p I wanna try it some day as a challenge but it’s def intimidating.
I run Tumbleweed on my main rig and love how crazy stable it is for being cutting edge. Endeavour OS is also cool for this. Both great communities too.
But agree with you on Mint. It’s just a really nice smooth experience. So far it’s on my “little media laptop I won’t update much, need to be reliable, and will probably hand to family on occasion”, and I can trust it’s just gonna work.
Okay but at the end of the day it’s not like you’re Tony Stark making Jericho missiles.
Linux, encryption, the Internet, heck, computers, are so generalized as a technology that the burden of sin lies with whomever would pervert these tools against their fellow man.
I’ve heard of Palantir, now Anduril… What’s next, Saruman Ltd.? Uruk-Hai-corp? Poor Tolkien doesn’t deserve his mythology being co-opted by war profiteers. :(
Yeah I honestly agree. Memories is a vast improvement, so much so that it should just be the default at this point. I went so far as to get a menu customizer addon to just remove Nextcloud Photos as an option. I feel like it puts off new users more then helps anything.
I’m glad there’s other options like the OP link, but I seriously enjoy Memories / Nextcloud for hosting it on my own hardware. Very little maintenance, has an app. Uploads from my phone whenever I plug it in to charge. Basically more than enough feature parity with Google photos that I could finally dump that mess. :)
