Have you tried Bottles? I helped a friend a few weeks ago getting his game library to work after he migrated to Bazzite and there are a few games from Japanese studios / indie devs. It was mostly setting the locale for a separate bottle configuration and from there they installed and worked.

Same here, not my experience at all. It would also be interesting if the stores are franchises vs corporate owned.

We have Rewe, Kaufland and IKEA supporting self checkout around here and the experience is decent. The interface is not the best. Sometimes a scan fails, but there’s always someone close by who can help.

I would like to see mini-sas as well, but simply for being a bit more flexible in case design and potentially separating heat generating components instead of putting everything in the same box.

But the issue with GPU sag is AFAIK a different one. Jayz2cents had a pretty good video a while ago demonstrating how to fix sag on the case itself without one of the little stands. From personal experience I can say the Gainward Phantom 4090 doesn’t sag in a Fractal Torrent for example.

Going from 1000/50 to 1000/1000 would cost me an 860€ premium right now (Germany) and this is a good offer, it can get more expensive without special promotion.

I do not know of an opinionated beginners guide, but would recommend browsing r/selfhosted and r/homelab a bit. Lots of these and similar questions are answered on a regular basis.

Some starting points

- photos: NextCloud

- git: Gitea

- BitWarden: Vaultwarden (even if you deploy this locally you want a SSL certificate as clients will refuse to connect otherwise)

I'd suggest using official docker images to get started as there’s plenty documentation available for all projects and experimenting is a bit easier when you can simply dispose a container without having to worry what’ll happen to your host OS.

As long as you run services locally on your Synology (assuming it supports docker) and don’t expose them to the Internet I’d encourage you to „just give it a try“.

Just don’t immediately start to rely on the services and run a dual strategy (NextCloud and iCloud photos for example) till you updated your container once or twice and feel comfortable troubleshooting issues with your stack. Nothing is more discouraging than having a service you need „right now“ being down and no idea how to get it back up.

It’ll be a long, fun journey. Good luck!

I was shopping for 2 8GB models a few months ago. There is / was a shortage and some shops / resellers charge 200-300% above list price. Highest I’ve seen was 350€. This was the German market, but from what I heard it doesn’t seem to look a lot better globally.

Parallels works fine, VMWare Fusion provides a tech preview for M1 - I’m running Debian arm64 VMs this way. Both (AFAIK) don’t support x86 guests and don plan to (virtualization vs emulation). So you’d have the same issues as with as with Docker.

There seems to be a work around with qemu and UTM but I cannot speak to its performance or how viable this solution is.

This sounds like Samsung DeX?

This is IMHO a really good point. Somewhere in between App Groups, Share Extensions and custom URL schemes I really hoped at some point we would see a way to make this happen.

My wife is currently using Affinity and Adobe products to work on illustrations. It works mostly the same for her as on her Mac. She does not care about small, specialised tools, she wants one app that does everything she needs. The iPad is doing a great job running those apps.

I am not sure how many users (outside of the ones who got used to it) want UNIX-like flexibility vs "give me an app that does everything I need". If the later group keeps getting larger the walled garden approach to apps might actually work.

Author here - first of all: I agree. I should have gone a bit more into detail how „not sure how she’s related“ is using her devices. She is also doing actual work for school on the iPad (research and writing papers).
