All of them i've actually wanted to try out I was able to stream via the xbox game pass website in a browser. It is not a perfect experience, but it is "good enough" on a decent internet connection. I understand that if you physically have an xbox you can also run the game on that and stream it to your linux desktop for much better performance and latency, but I have not tried this myself.

That said, it is pretty rare. The only ones I've tried that with were fortnite (a friend wanted to play the lego game mode, but it was short lived - starved for content, lol) and starfield (it was free on game pass and I wasn't sure I wanted to buy it).

Hobble at best.

That's real?! TIL...

I can't decide if that changes my answer or not... lol Seems like a cumbersome way to browse files, but maybe that's because it isn't how I've learned...

Find a member of staff and ask where the "human bathrooms" are. Don't let them leave until they explain. Bonus points if you piss your pants while they are trying to explain.

My install does use btrfs (but unfortunately since I reused the other drives they are still ntfs formatted) and it does regular snapshots, but to the same drive. It isn't completely borked yet so I'm hopeful I can "clone" to a new drive and rma the bad one (10 months old so should still have mfr warranty). I've used clonezilla in the past but had read it doesn't support btrfs, maybe that info is outdated? I did see some promising tools for doing basically the same job through btrfs though. I planned to work on salvaging what I can tonight. Worst case scenario, all my personal files are synced to a cloud storage service so I'd just be out installed programs and configs if I have to reinstall from fresh.

I hope so at some point. Drove a friend's tesla and fuck that thing, even the speedometer was on the fucking center tablet... Fuckin why? I don't want to hunt for my current speed in the bloated infotainment bs.

Can someone explain like I'm 5 searXNG?

Like, I vaguely understand the terms everyone uses to explain it but I don't really understand what it does or how it does it. I've used a public instance of it that the maintainers of my Linux distro provide and is set as default search on a fresh install. The results weren't terrible but did take some time to load, which is the main reason I tend to use other engines.

If I self host it do I get better performance? What about results? Are they different on different instances?

I've been 100% on Linux since July of last year. I thought I was currently having my first major Linux fucked up situation that I just could not figure out this weekend.

It has been very depressing, after trying to convince friends and family to give Linux a chance and keep an open mind for months, I was beginning to feel like a fraud and a liar.

But, after hours of software troubleshooting turning up nothing I've discovered I'm in the early stages of a dying ssd... My first major problem, and it's hardware related. It sucks but it is also a relief in a weird way.

And I'm finding out about it way earlier than I likely would have in windows thanks to btrfs. But it's also funny because if I had been having similar issues in windows I probably would have ran hardware diag much sooner, but because I'm still a bit of a Linux newbie I assumed I broke my OS and wasted hours troubleshooting software.

Incredibly easy to bypass as well...

OP's username got smushed with the community when I read it and thought this was the LinuxMemes community...

I spent way too long trying to figure out what Linux terminology related to "women bears" before reading the comments and realizing this didn't have anything to do with Linux, lol. I was searching for famous bears named Wayland for a bit there.

Make it look like an old-timey log mill with the fan as the saw blade.
