i'm doing dumb stuff like nested virt and gpu passthrough on amd with proxmox
the amount of troubleshooting required is stupid, my /proc/cmdline is a mile long and had to downgrade my bios to stop to stop a segfault that happens after 24 hours and a kernel bug that happened after a random amount of time

windows passes though but the driver crashes every few seconds, linux works fine
esxi 8 doesn't work but esxi 7 does, but at least that's known issue

Out of curiosity, why do you use Borg Backup? It requires a backup target that can accept SSH connections and run your backup tool's code, which is comparatively quite expensive. There are other backup tools that work with business-oriented and consumer-oriented object storage services instead.

Because has worked mostly fine for over a decade now, and I am not installing an object storage stack on my home nas to update a working system.

Fair.

I assume most people want some sort of off-site backup but tbf the most likely scenario where you might need to restore from backup is an SSD failure on your main computer, and if your house burns down and takes out your on-site backup then you've probably got bigger problems then losing your anime collection or w/e.

I let all my stuff backup to my NAS via borgmatic, then sync the whole dataset offsite. (zfs go brrr)

It's a great system especially with limited bandwidth upstream. Borg deduplicates across all backups, so the dataset is quite small, and incremental zfs send/receive is extremely efficient.

Then you need a 24/7 application VM connected to a few TB of block storage to run ZFS on the other end as opposed to a gdrive or S3 bucket or whatever

stupid issue I'm having is all my windows keep opening at like 120% resolution and it's making game windows render invisible... it's all solvable with 2 seconds of resizing the window but it's annoying to try and research. Im just whining mostly

here's a fun wayland .. feature? bug? that are sure to bite you when your email client is indexing something

Blocked clients that received too many events get destroyed even though the Wayland connection is not broken

hope they figure something out soon, that report is three years old. it's a type of bug that makes it seem like there's some hardware error with your computer

at least there's a workaround for that wayland issue if you can be bothered to patch it yourself

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mstoeckl/wayland/-/commit/259b565eb1691203efdf828723f01aff8b3338ea

i guess this is where gentoo shines, trivially easy to apply a patch for a system package

What sort of Xorg-related dependencies are being pulled in that it defaults to Xwayland?

On FreeBSD, the only Xorg related thing I have installed is xorgproto and some libraries for fonts and generic stuff like libxft and libX11, and C bindings via xcb.

or start it with the WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 envvar set, and if it's native, you will see a bunch of debug spew in the console

I don�t understand why RMS didn�t just reimplement ITS targeting the 68000 and spread it far and wide instead of announcing his intent to recreate UNIX

heck he could�ve gotten a grant to do ITS-68K and distribute it under very open terms

or a NuMachine (68K) port of the CADR system circa 1980, that would�ve been far worse for Symbolics than spending all that time stealing their code and giving it to LMI

rms is and always has been the kind of dipshit who wanted to get people to follow him and his ideology for software development and open source or whatever as a side gig. dude wasn't an MIT student originally, he was a harvard student who managed to con his way into an office in the AI Labs that he ended up sleeping on the floor of and decided to switch over to MIT because that was a thing you could do in the late 70s

he wanted to be a LISP wizard but the whole LISP environment didn't go beyond academia so in order to try to rope in people outside the AI Labs he had to come up with basically cult philosophy to recreate unix (the dominant systems environment of the 70s in academia)

reimplementing ITS wouldn't have brought in other people who would go "yeah man free software copyleft gently caress the patent office". Gnu's Not Unix is enough wankery with obvious influences to bring in the hippie dudes who heard of bell labs as the premier institute for getting fried and coming up with new innovations in operating systems while also being counterculture enough to be like "gently caress da man"

alright going to install a new distro on my linux desktop, any recommendations?

it has arch now and i didn't enjoy the arch experience. right now the packages/dependencies on mine are wonky and i can't figure out how to update poo poo.

i mostly just want something i can install and just ignore for a long time basically. so something stable and secure, gets good updates, and not too fiddly like arch. also preferably not ubuntu.
