That makes sense. Didn’t even know Valheim had a screenshot feature.

For Steam it is F12, for the OS it is just Print Screen.

I recommend the latter since you can also do a partial screenshot, draw on it and it gets saved in your Pictures folder automatically.

Nextcloud can embed Collabora Code (essentially Libreoffice) so you can open all your documents in Nextcloud in the browser and edit them together with multiple people.

Works pretty well.

I ran Emby for a while before switching to Jellyfin. Still running it today.

It has been a few years since I last used Plex but I always liked their interface, their tech stack is fairly modern, they have apps for pretty much every device, their title matching for content works really well and there was not much wrong with it back in the day other than it lacking local authentication.

I switched over long ago when they started pushing streaming services to my users that I couldn’t deactivate server side.

What about it sucks?

I self-host Collabora Code in Nextcloud and think it’s excellent.

If Caddy works for you, no reason to change it.

I use Traefik because I like how tightly integrated it is with Docker. If the container with the config labels on it starts/stops the corresponding router in Traefik also starts/stops.

Since my services are mostly running in Docker, it’s the perfect workflow for me.

Anyway, what I wanted to know is why do people self host?

For the warm and fuzzy feeling I get when I know all my documents, notes, calendars, contacts, passwords, movies/shows/music, videos, pictures and much more are stored safely in my basement and belong to me.

Nobody is training their AI on it, nobody is trying to use them for targetted ads, nobody is selling them. Just for me.

I don’t use the Solution explorer but I also don’t think it has one.

I usually kickstart a fresh application with a SLN and a few projects in the dotnet CLI and VSCodium picks up the launch project automatically when I tell it to create a launch.json. For existing applications, if the .vscode folder already exists it will just pick it up or I can also just ask it to create a launch.json.

That workflow has been ingrained into me since there were no real C# utilities for VS Code when it first launched, so not much changed for me when going to VSCodium.

Does Hyprland work well for gaming compared to KDE? Can it do HDR, VRR and so on?

Always wanted to try a tiling WM but was afraid of losing features.

Is there something missing in OmniSharp that prevents you from using VSCodium?

I do most of my C# development with the OmniSharp plugin in VSCodium on Linux.

Helldivers works fine on Linux, I play it from time to time.

Ms office windows apps are kind of great compared to libreoffice

Did you give OnlyOffice a try? https://flathub.org/apps/org.onlyoffice.desktopeditors

VS Code (i know it’s still MS but I do C# .NET work and rider is too expensive, I don’t want a subscription for an IDE)

VSCodium is a thing too if you want to un-Microsoft even further.

I use it for C# development on Linux and it works well.

getting a password manager

Bitwarden and Keepass are usually the go tos, depending on your use case.

then a new browser

Firefox or if you want to decouple from Mozilla as well, Librewolf works pretty well.

potentially a Google pay replacement

I’m not aware of any open Google Pay replacements other than taking a card with you.

As soon as you get rid of Google on your phone, you get rid of Google Pay.

Do you think Aurora is a good choice for beginners? A friend of mine wants to switch and I’m still looking for a good match.

It should be immutable, use KDE, have Nvidia drivers pre-installed (or a UI for installing them), not be maintained by a single maintainer and should not have non-OS applications like Steam pre-installed.

Aurora so far seems to be the best choice.

You had me at “No Java”.

Maybe an e-book reader like KOReader? https://flathub.org/apps/rocks.koreader.KOReader

Plenty of them support local HTML.

It’s nice to read something sane in these threads.

Arguing on the internet with a guy that’s rude does not get me anywhere.

I see we are going nowhere here. You do you, I do me.
