Also, if he’s the chief architect, then this is what he’s building:

Some ornithologists seeing this comment will be very disappointed.

Sorry, replying late. Yes, I do play games on my HTPC, though lately I’ve mostly been using to watch things through Kodi. Kodi does indeed work well with a keyboard, so good luck on your project!

I have it on my HTPC and Steam Deck. It’s good! Simple to use, simple to set up, no complaints.

I’ll assume you’re new to Debian, so apologies if this is not true. The reason I say this is because generally speaking, “installing with wget” isn’t how one is supposed to install software in Debian, using a program called apt is. yt-dlp is available in Debian 13’s repositories. What I suggest doing is running apt install yt-dlp as root. That way the app will be installed globally, meaning it’ll work without the system spitting out the error you’ve described. And on another positive note, the app will get updated automatically whenever you upgrade the system.

If this isn’t for you, suggestions from other users here are valid and helpful.

Nope. Not reading a Techrights article.

Fine, then “more ugly and cumbersome” than it needs to be. I frequently have to hook up laptops to devices that simply don’t have wifi (think unconfigured network devices like routers and the like), so connecting via cable is the only option. Having a gigantic, plastic, snag-prone wart sticking out of my laptop certainly wouldn’t help matters.

And the ugly and cumbersome ethernet expansion card.

Which sounds impressive until you realize a janitor who worked there for the same amount of time could claim the same.

Decoctoy sounds…lewd.

Similar story here. I had a laptop running nVidia/Intel dual graphics for a few years and it was so fucking finicky. Primusrun this, optirun that. Ugh. Once upon a time, whenever I heard the word Optimus, I thought of transforming trucks with laser guns. Hearing that same word now puts me in a fetal position.

To any GeForce owners that are considering going Linux full time: do a test run first and see how it works out, because nVidia support on Linux is spotty at best.

Nah thanks, I prefer to commit crimes at home.

Fully agree. Culpability is dead.

I have the Flydigi Vader 4 Pro with the USB dongle. And yes, it’s plug and play.

Are you talking about archinstall or have they actually automated the default installation method?

Do yourself a favour and install it on a virtual machine first. Screwing up an install on Arch is frighteningly easy. The Arch Wiki is your friend, use it. Also, read the installation instructions before you begin the installation, not during. If this sounds like too much of a headache (understandably so), then give EndeavourOS a whirl.

Yeah, it’s normal. There are so many flavours of Linux out there, why wouldn’t you want to try some of them?

The founder’s shady history with OpenFeint, their entire privacy policy and shit like this, take your pick. Wikipedia also has an entire section dedicated to Discord’s controversies. No matter how you look at it, Discord has a great many shortcomings.

Shouldn’t be too hard. There are loads of alternatives out there on various platforms.

Tell me about it. Now they’re just Steam Key Reseller #46498.
