  • Dang, that’s a lot of seperate parts for 1 “simple” task smh. It’s one of the reasons I’ve stayed away from all this Docker nonsense. I get it’s FOSS and is a great alternative to a lot of paid garbage, but just seems like there could be an easier way… Nice to learn, tinker, etc, but if it breaks, then it seems more complicated to fix as each component is separate.

    I’ve just supported Window for so long and there’s a second-nature to troubleshooting; but took years to get there, ya know? I’ll check it out for sure, but I’m still going to look around myself


  • Someone opened my eyes recently to Yunohost which is a container manager essentially (my understanding) though is based on Debian for the newer versions not actual Docker.

    Anyway, I can install Prometheus as well as node explorer, but I think I would only need Prometheus. Node explorer sounds like if I hosted Prometheus on another box and wanted this host to talk to it.










  • Gaming on Linux has already come a long way over recent years, with improvements to Valve’s Proton and more gamers switching to Linux, but the newly-formed Open Gaming Collective (OGC) is aiming to take it even further.

    Universal Blue, developer of the gaming-focused Linux distribution Bazzite, announced on Wednesday that its helping to form the OGC with several other groups, which will collaborate on improvements to the Linux gaming ecosystem and “centralize efforts around critical components like kernel patches, input tooling, and essential gaming packages such as gamescope.”

    The other founding members of the OGC include Nobara, ChimeraOS, Playtron, Fyra Labs, PikaOS, ShadowBlip, and Asus Linux. Related

    I replaced Windows with Linux and everything’s going great

    Having a wide range of distros to choose from is one of the best parts of using Linux, but shared efforts around important gaming components should improve the experience across the board, resulting in “better hardware compatibility, fewer duplicated efforts, and a more unified Linux gaming experience.” As Bazzite’s announcement post puts it, “a win for one project becomes a win for everyone.”

    It’s worth noting that this will mean some changes to Bazzite, which is switching to the OGC kernel, replacing HHD with InputPlumber as its input framework, and integrating features like RGB and fan control into the Steam UI. Bazzite also added that, “We’ll be sharing patches we’ve made to various Valve packages with the OGC and attempting to upstream everything we can."
