it gets very technical very quickly on Linux, but have a read here: https://linrunner.de/tlp/introduction.html

what terminal emulator are you using?

of course it’s you who else would you think I’m referring to?

it’s just a fancy VM with less options for GPU passthrough right?

really depends on how well GPU passthrough works though

there’s a bunch of Reddit mirrors, no one likes them

nheko is the fastest usable client I’ve used personally

is this what you want?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Advanced_traffic_control

this is a pretty advanced and niche use case, it might break some stuff

you can buy used hard drives for pretty reasonable amounts of money

Matrix?

rain world?

Even if you get it working it’s going to be janky asf, I’d probably just use libreoffice draw + okular

very nice!

documenting like this is also really good for future reference

Sounds stressful asf, you should try take a break and relax (e.g. turn off all computers in the house for a few days). The rushed decisions you make now might not be the best

In terms of suggestions, I’d recommend:

• Isolating untrustworthy network devices (e.g. web3 shit and your roommate’s pc) in VLANs
• Running untrustworthy code in containers or vms
• Getting a proper router (openwrt one maybe?) and managing it yourself, don’t let your roommate touch it
• Setting up firewalls on your pc (restrict ports to the ones you actually need)

This would involve learning more about networking, Wikipedia and the arch wiki has pretty good information on it.

most things work, some niche things like hw video acceleration and gamescope don’t

I think for cjk typing you can use fcitx5 with the input method engine corresponding to your language. have a look here

EDIT: actually the arch wiki has a good writeup on this

still uses glibc right? I think the big thing about alpine is that it uses musl as its libc

oh shit they have multi communities
