You’re doing God’s work.
But being this is a 44dBA washer, the most powerful dishwasher in the world and will wash your plate clean off, you’ve gotta ask yourself a question: “Do I feel lucky?”
Well, do ya, cup?
Ubuntu (or Canonical, their parent company) has gotten more pushy with their paid service. Personally for me, I’m moving off of Ubuntu to Debian pure systems or Arch because when I ssh to my Ubuntu file server, the MOTD tells me I can pay for some kind of premium service and get 35 additional security updates. So, that’s it. That’s my line in the sand. Don’t advertise to me on my terminal
(And then there’s all the shit about Snap being installed by default, and I’m just at a point where I only want installed what I want installed, etc)
But you do you man. If Ubuntu works great for you, stick with it. You may change your mind later down the road, you may not. As long as you’re happy with it right now that all that matters.
You can buy some old thinclient lenovos on eBay for super cheap.
There’s other board manufacturers as well… basically just replace “raspberry” with some other fruit and there’s probably a Pi of it
I personally think the best thing to do is find a used Celeron laptop and disable the lid switch setting. Now you’ve got a server with a built in UPS.
Or just fire it up in a docker container because you’re already running Linux right? RIGHT?
I beat my addiction 7 times a week!
Couldn’t think of a better way to go
You just need a large enough geomagnetic storm

There’s always a bigger power switch upstream somewhere.
Cool!

Apple is going to start cramming their AI the throat of all users in the next year or two as well.
Just… No.
Id imagine all games rely on at least the X server running to handle the display.
I know back in the day you could do some cool stuff with framebuffer, but I don’t know if you’d get 3d acceleration today even if you installed the drivers, because they probably need a bunch of libraries that are packaged as part of DEs/WMs
If you just want the experience of launching graphical stuff from the CLI, that can be done. You’d still install all the packages for your chosen display server and WM/DE, then you can write a small bash script that launches a desktop session and starts your program, then closes the desktop session after you exit the program.
I do look forward to the next generation of ad free media consumption powered by a small VC startup fund that has a bunch of low cost fresh-out-of-university students paid mostly in stocks working in a garage to say “yeah fuck this I’ve seen ads all my life in gonna do make something that doesn’t make people hate life”
Each iteration of the technology eventually becomes hot garbage. But man, for like a decade there shit is pretty good while the rest of the entrenched industry is stuck trying to pay lobbyists to get law makers to write rules that neither side understands just to have them ultimately not get passed or not address the issue and those companies still disappear.
On their deathbed, a man shows up to deliver strong pentrative action to a geriatric patient.
Ya know, send em’ out with a bang.
Old features and less? No problem. Just don’t install X, a window manager, or a desktop environment. It’ll be just like the DOS days!
I took used to order $5 foot long chicken bacon ranch subs from subway.
That still doesn’t make sense. All this does is enable the PS VR headset to be used with a PC to play steam games. It gives people that already own a PS VR another option for usage: plugging it into a PC and playing VR games they purchased through steam. It lowers the barrier to entry for the user to experience PC VR games by being able to use hardware they already have on hand instead of having to purchase an Oculus or Index. Valve still gets their software sales cut because you can only use the PS VR to play games in your steam library on PC.
Sounds like a dumb move. I thought the money was in software/game sales, not hardware that’s sold at a loss?
More wheels!
