Damn, I didn’t even realize that was doable lol. At least the nix part, the rest definitely sounds like stuff I might’ve accidentally done myself while learning the ropes.

Last I checked offline hours didn’t count either, yeah. I’m not sure if anything is supposed to have changed in the meantime, as it’s been a while.

The only way I see myself ever giving it another go is if I manage to get into my NixOS setup for easy replication or something, too much manual tweaking otherwise.

The compromise I arrived at after I migrated to Linux was booting windows off a VHD file on a USB SSD when I really need it. That way I get a portable, fully performant install without it wasting any disk space or messing with my partitions.

I’m no expert but I see no obvious red flags there, should be good to go!

My first idea was to buy one PC with two GPUs with passthrough of GPU and USB input (sitting anyway close), but I got the impression, that is at this moment more something to tinker, then to run “in production”.

I’m under the same impression, I check it every few months but it looks clunky and not worth the trouble. Not something I’d like to rely on right now, that’s for sure.

Right, thanks for the input. I used to use it for unimportant stuff like game storage so it’s entirely possible errors just went unnoticed 😅

Said drive is a new one for media and regular everyday usage, not the existing backup drive according to the OP. Btrfs is more than stable enough barring specific RAID configurations, at any rate.

Yeah I guess exfat is the way to go then, it’s how I handle my external SSD rn as well

Edit: Also, I’m not sure how well btrfs handles external drives. Didn’t realize that when I suggested it.

Ah, now that’s a scare! Glad you mostly managed to recover at any rate.

As for the fs to use, exfat is probably a safer bet but btrfs is also an option. I’ve used winbtrfs in the past and it works surprisingly well.

That’s great first issue to solve, I love the way it fits!

As a Brazilian who grew up in a not too remote area, modchipped PS2s were everywhere growing up, as it was the only realistic option to game for the vast majority. Things have shifted a bit these days, but it did use to be like that.

As a result, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a legit PS2 game or an og Xbox/GameCube for that matter lol.

I don’t suppose you’re thinking of the system BlendOS uses, right? It’s the closest I can think of based on your description but it doesn’t seem to fit the timeframe.

No such thing, we all start somewhere! :)

Anyway, you could in fact do that if you were thinking of trying out other Fedora Atomic images such as Silverblue and whatnot (see also the ublue page listing tons of others, including your bazzite!). This uses different tooling, so unfortunately not in this case.

FWIW I’ve been daily driving Bazzite on the deck for several months and it’s been smooth sailing, no complaints here. You’d think it’s stock if I just handed it to you with no context. I did it mostly because I could tbh, but I love the extra functionality!

That all said, last I checked it wasn’t fully functional on the OLED model. Not sure that’s changed.

Turns out most were seemingly glad to comply when Netflix pulled that bs so I’ll be legitimately shocked if most major streaming services don’t follow suit within the next few months. I’m glad my seafaring ass hasn’t had to deal with that kind of annoyance in years lol.

Lol I appreciate your self awareness! That sounds just like the kind of questionable idea that’d be great for a joke GitHub repo, if nothing else.

Can’t check rn but there’s some info on the recommended models page iirc

Edit: Yup, right here. NVIDIA GPUs series 10 and up, basically.

I just came across this GitHub issue and sure enough, it seems to confirm my theory. Since it doesn’t show on KDE’s media center, it probably doesn’t know to pause it before going to sleep.

I saw at least one person with your exact issue, and a few suggested workarounds but not sure how easy it’d be to apply them to an actual Nix derivation. I’ll keep looking into it. 🤔

Right. I’m a fellow Jellyfin + NixOS user so I’ll try and investigate if I manage to find some time over the next few days. I’ll report back if I find anything of note!

No worries!

The check box for this settings was infact already checked. So maybe if I change what happens when I close the lid, from sleeping to hibernation or something else this could fix this maybe?

Ah, I see. Guess you may as well give that a go. I’m guessing what might be going on here is KDE doesn’t count it as a media player for whatever reason. Are you using Jellyfin in a browser or with the dedicated Jellyfin Media Player app?
