You absolutely can fail. I daily drive bazzite but many things have been pretty rough:

Any coding apps that will use an external device -> you can’t use flatpak. You have to use distrobox that constantly freezes your entire mouse for 3-5 seconds upon any sort of dialog, settings, saving, anything where it has to access the filesystem. Then you have to add udev rules to directories that in the documentation says not to write to, and reloading the rules doesn’t work for testing, you have to fully restart with every minor change or it will seem like the change didn’t work.

Luckily most device drivers seem to work in the provided arch distrobox but holy dependency hell. Things will fail to install because they need a package that exists on the host but not the container so you get an unsolvable “file exists” conflict. When installing a package, it will sometimes just try to grab an old version of a dependency specifically that will 404 out instead of just grabbing the most recent version (never happened on arch itself to me)

Setting up a plasma vault with gocryptfs was not fun figuring out how. Also ran into tons of dependency problems and the fact that fedora just abandoned it specifically. Ended up just having to stick the binary in a random folder and point to it.

Any sort of document authentication/signing -> doesn’t work and will not work in the future for a long time.

You absolutely have to install rpms still for corectrl, any external devices, like drawing tablets, etc…

Some games inexplicably use <50% GPU and <40% CPU with terrible framerates and will not go any higher (or lower) no matter what, switching between low and high settings and resolution results in 0fps change.

When I have my config set and don’t have to change anything, it is super super nice to never have to manually update, but anything outside of very basic usage is weaving through nonstandard undocumented territory.

Bazzite trades maintenance headaches for configuration and installation headaches. For me, that is worth it.

It’s so interesting how people’s bodies differ! I feel 2x better when working out fasted than with food in the last 4 hours or so. Otherwise I feel sluggish or a bit nauseated while running and my stomach will turn with heavy weights.

Tuta also has a free tie up to 1GB. Been slowly switching over for a few years. It isn’t perfect and you can only use the first party app for “security” but tuta supports a ton of privacy efforts within the EU also

Weightlifters seem to hove about similar parts make up very kind people who just want others to succeed and people who listen to Joe rogan and Jordan Peterson.

I only partake in the finest carapils

Yeah, they have a spotify connect plugin that works, but chromecast probably will not be supporter because google holds all of the cast keys and esphome/music assistant/ home assistant would have to register with them (and probably play the fees) i think

Then there is me who is the first 3 panels 24 hours a day since I was 13, tired for decades getting 8-9 hours of sleep 😅 at least insomnia is rare. I don’t wish insomnia on almost anyone. The 4-5 times I had it were the most frustrating hours…

That is what I am thinking. Looking at the larger perspective snowball–flakes, there are 4-5 variations of the same 90° arc going from bottom to middle rjght. I don’t think there are that many of the same arcs at slightly different radii (radiuses?) in ASCII but I could be wrong. Or it could be the low res.

To be fair though. The experience of google and Microsoft online word/spreadsheets/etc… also sucks ass on a smartphone. Much better, sure, but doing spreadsheets or writing a paper on a phone is a bad experience in general.

It’s also so weird how different people react to it. I roll my eyes the whole time and skip past it, I figured that is what everyone did (except for mbmbam sometimes if they have good jokes during it. I have never even considered trying out one of the products. I always figure those who have to rely on advertising extremely heavily are shit, like Raycons and BetterHelp.

And then also the official proton account doubling down on it a day later.

Also Spain has been full force behind chat control. Something something no independence for Catalan?

Do you know if you can still do everything with it? Like atomic already has its own limitations and quirks. I can imagine there are bigger limitations with this.

Like can you install driver-level stuff like tablet drivers, GPU/CPU control, udev rules, etc… I guess I don’t really know the implications of the extra hardening.

Now tamagochis have evolved to smart watches where you are the tamagochi it seems

This is why when everyone says “the civil rights movement was peaceful” I laugh. Yeah it was peaceful with a strong demonstrated threat of violent uprising, it would have never succeeded or have been half-assed “concessions” without Malcolm X and the black panthers.

Crazy how that doesn’t at all even address the problem of subtitle sync! It just pastes subtitles as-is in there. What if the subtitle files are at a different framerste? What if the subtitles have the wrong starting offset for the media? What if the subtitles have 1-2 mistakes in them as far as timing?

Hence why there are a dozen subtitle syncing tool projects supplementing ffmpeg like ffsubsync, subsync, alass, autosubsync, srtsync, etc…

Using the integrated player. That is the only player option on android TV. On android I am also using the integrated player. If I use the web player, the same UI as the web shows up WITHOUT the subtitle offset option that is in the web player in a web browser. Not sure what the difference could be. Always burning in subtitles isn’t enabled either.

No, I use KDE + discover which is pulling from flathub. It could very well be a Bazzite issue or something.

I have no idea how to begin to debug that type of bug since it isn’t like clicking on a spot that isn’t clickable will generate an error to trace.

The only thing about jellyfin is the damn subtitles. Subtitle sync is horrible. They added a subtitle offset feature last year which was a good workaround and then removed it a few months ago on androidtv and android. Now the subtitle offset on the web player doesn’t do anything anymore either

Even Subgen generated subtitles, which are pretty perfectly in sync in reality, are sometimes played back at an incorrect speed so it will progressively get more and more out of sync, but there is no way to tell what speed the subtitles are being played at.

Also it just ignores themes a lot of times or only displays themes on the admin console and nowhere else.

That said, jellyfin is still amazing!

I hope this fixes the flatpak version problem of dialog windows (like edit components) having the top 10-20% of the window not clickable. Very annoying, though I can just use the properties box mostly instead.
