NixOS. Not in a good way. I love the idea of configuring your entire system with a configuration file. However, on my laptop I couldn’t get the KDE live boot image to boot into the GUI. So, I tried the gnome live image, successfully, and used it to install KDE. I thought that I was in the clear but then sddm wasn’t working. I had to disable it to get nixos to boot into KDE.

I mean, I fixed it. But, with an intel APU from 2014, I haven’t had any problems with this laptop running Arch, Debian, Linux mint, or Fedora.

I see it more as a local repo. Like, setup the repo to do what you would have done manually so that you don’t have to do it on multiple computers. I could be misunderstanding it though.

I’ve never had an issue with the flatpak version being out of date. 😊

Just use the flatpak?

Well put.

I use arch btw

Even on Steam Deck itself?

Hey, you two quit having civil discourse right this instance! XD

I don’t have experience with them. I have been using linode for a few years now and love it!

A bunch of people recommend dozzle in this thread… I’ve been using Dockge. I wonder how they compare. I’ll have to check that out later.

I forgot my /s

Build Bazzite | failing I guess so.

I use obsidian for my notes/wiki. I use the git plugin to backup/sync my notes. I self-host forgejo as my gut server. Works great!

Caddy is my favorite reverse-proxy. The setup is just a config file.

Sounds like a guide to me ☺️

The registry is one of the reasons I was thinking I would need separate prefixes that I can copy. But, I also understand that games that actually use the registry are few and far between. If I actually come across one that needs registry edits I can just pack that differently.

You have been beyond helpful. Thank you so much!

Does it install winetricks and wine? Or is it up to you to install that? I believe the steam comes with it pre-installed though, so it’'s probably not necessary.

Wow. You wrote a guide on it. I’ll try to find time to read it tonight! I do have a question, what if a game makes use of the windows registry? Would that change the prefix?

Very informative thanks! Do you have a specific article that you’d suggest on bottles? Or does it have a decent wiki?

I wonder if it would then be easy to backup the drm-free games to copy elsewhere…?

Thanks for your help!
