I’m out of the loop, what is the advantage to coreboot?

I feel out of the loop, what’s Slackware?
I actually went to GrapheneOS from my iPhone, after deciding none of the other option were going to work for me. Bummer about the encryption, maybe that can be fixed?
How is SailfishOS? I was keeping an eye on UBPorts (Ubuntu Touch), occasionally installing that on my Pixel 3a, but it just wasn’t there for me. Same for PostMarketOS, but the new GNOME Shell on mobile seems great. How is Android app support on SailfishOS?
BlendOS Will let you install virtually any package format through containerization, but it shows up just as if it was a native app. It’s pretty neat to see and I hope more distros adopt this
Yes! It runs on an old gaming PC for me, without flaws
I used it for Overwatch before it was available on Steam, worked just fine for me!
This is understandable, I still have a Win10 install on a separate disk in case I want to run VR on my Oculus CV1. Otherwise it’s all Linux babyyyy
I believe it holds true for some single player games as well. I seem to remember Half-Life 2 not wanting to launch without Steam present, same for some other Source games. That really might not be the case though, I’m curious to do more testing… Either way, I watch enough Linux gaming on ARM SBCs (check out MicroLinux and LeePSPComputer on YouTube), can I see them using Goldberg from time to time to get games running with no Steam
You’d need something like the Goldberg Steam Emulator, since a lot of games rely on services and APIs that Steam provides
I run Proxmox which is based on Debian, no issues for over a year now!
I’m lucky - I’m in a Midwest town as well (between 1500 to 3000 people) in the US. A couple of years ago, fiber got installed. I’m getting about 900Mbps down and 99 up, no data cap, for $84/month. Before that I also had Mediacom, and the data cap was infuriating. So glad I could switch!
Yes, I’m an Nvidia user on Ubuntu (soon to switch to something else I think). The issue is the drivers on Wayland suck. Routine screen tearing with dual monitors (even if the second one is disabled in GNOME Settings). It also gives me issues with hardware acceleration for OBS captures. Had I been planning ahead I would’ve gone with AMD, but I got the 3070 for a great price during the shortages so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Edit: to be clear, it’s fine and usable with one monitor, but still annoying. Switching to X11 gives me a whole different set of issues that just isn’t worth the tradeoffs. I still play games with no fuss with one monitor, it just sucks that I have framerate issues running OBS at 1080p30 capture with a 3070
Anything scanning messages or media on my device is an absolute NO if I don’t control it.
Proxmox. I’ve been using it and deployed jellyfin in a container, they have a bunch of one-click deployments and it’s great. Or you can just use a VM to group Docker containers together. Having a beautiful web interface is huge, Plus being able to access that interface from anywhere via WireGuard/Tailscale is great.
If you do choose to go down this route, there is a “no-nag proxmox” script somewhere, and it will disable some warnings and give you deeper customization options. Well worth a look!
