Anyone else read that as bi-oink?

Adding to the Docker chorus. I started using Docker before even using the command line. My route in was to use Unraid but that may not be best for you. I use Portainer in another install but I think the way it handles storage is a bit obtuse. In any case, as many others have said, using Docker is a piece of cake once you understand the basic ideas. Those being that a container is like a portable self contained machine that runs a specific service and any persistent storage needs to be outside the container. Containers are always my first idea when running a service as you know they will work on your system, you don't have to worry that there will be conflicts or whatever.

OR IS IT?

Yes, yes it is.

You know ad-supported kindles? Expand that to phones, TVs computers. Anything that can show or play an ad while it is off or when you turn it on. It's free real estate!

This is not right, even per capita the US has a higher % o immigrants than the UK, although they are lower than some of the countries you mention.

I had to look up what was wrong with it and still it seems like a very minor difference. But hey, I spend my time playing video games, who am I to judge what is worthy of one's time.

You son of a bitch, I'm in.

That song is way better than it needed to be for a gag. Good job :)

You think you know how dumb someone is, but they can always surprise you.

This may be way more in depth than you need but this guide is very comprehensive.

A person of culture, I see.

Any of this look familiar? https://github.com/roderickvd?tab=repositories

Well that opened up a memory. I don't think I ever managed to type. It all in, and if I did it probably got corrupted on my crappy tape recorder, but I remember going over the Silver Mountain one many times. Thank you.

Safety squints on.

Originally, like I suspect many who played ffvii as their first ff, I hated it. Hated how Squall was such a tool. Didn't really get the magic system. It was so different from ffvii and I has such high hopes.

Over time I have really warmed to it. The story goes incomprehensible toward the end (for me at least) but the road to it is really quite fun. The draw system is interesting even if it discourages you from actually using magic. And yes, the love story is quite sweet at times.

Squall is still a tool though.

I have lost count of the number of times I have watched this.

YMMV of course but I was playing Timberborn just the other day on Mint, on an Nvidia card, through Heroic. Proton seems to have been a gamechanger. I have just made my first steps into switching my daily driver myself. I may have been lucky but all the games I have wanted to play have worked so far. I also have a Steam Deck, which is what has encouraged me that it may be possible.

Agreed. It is difficult to recommend in some ways because I didn't find it all that engaging at first. The gameplay was interesting but didn't massively hook me.

I second containers. I use Unraid and have found it pretty simple to get started. At one point I was using a vm on unraid as my gaming machine, although I have moved away from that and now have a low power Unraid server for hosting.
