  • I live near the northern border, and recently a client at work wanted us to cross the border to pick up samples weekly, my job is shipping/receiving so I got asked and said not a chance I’m crossing the border once, let alone regularly. Just need one asshole having a bad day and what could I even do about it.

    Luckily I have good bosses and none of them want to do it either and don’t blame me for not wanting to do it. Now the client will pay more to ship directly to us through a 3rd party.








  • I haven’t seen Halo Wars mentioned yet so I’ll nominate those games. Both 1 and 2 are insanely fun and they control surprisingly well on Xbox if you dont have access to a PC. I’ve put a couple hundred hours into both games on both Xbox and PC, but I do prefer M&KB controls even if it works very well with a controller.

    Cutscenes are fucking awesome in both games as well!

    Another game I’d like to bring up is Stellaris. If you’re a sci-fi fan and like 4X strategy games then I can’t recommend this game enough. I’ve put 630 hours into the game since I got it back in 2019, being able to role play a custom or sci-fi inspired empire is great. If the amount of DLC puts you off, then look up cream.api. Getting them for “free” is easy.










  • One of my two separate 2TB SSds running Bazzite is my boot drive. I have 2 more seperate physical drives, a 1TB running Windows and a 2TB running CachyOS.

    Edit: Not sure if it matters, but my 2TB SSD running (what used to be my primary Windows install) CachyOS is in the first NVME slot, my other 2TB SSD running Bazzite (primary boot option) is in the 2nd NVME slot and the 1TB SSD running Windows is in the 3rd NVME slot.





  • I haven’t used Ubuntu since around 2014, so I couldn’t give you a proper comparison tbh. Sorry!

    What I can say is that my entire Steam library basically just works, and has since the day I installed Bazzite. I have more trouble with non-steam games though, EA app and battle.net games can be finicky at times, you just gotta mess with different proton/wine versions until they work, but they do all eventually work, at least for me. I don’t play much MP games outside of Starcraft 2, Overwatch 2, Helldivers 2, and Space marine 2, so if you play any MP games I don’t play, then your mileage may vary.

    I’m extremely happy with Bazzite, it’s made me a true Linux convert, which is why I want to dip my toes into Arch in the form of CachyOS while keeping Bazzite as a backup in case I fuck something up!



  • I know how to use all my OS’ to access my media library, I have a 12TB HDD that contains all my TV shows and movies, I just want to be able to carry over my watch history on Plex. I’d switch to Jellyfin, but AFAIK they don’t have an app for Xbox which both my brother and mom use to access my library, that’s why I’m stuck on Plex.

    I’ve heard about running Plex media server in docker, how do I go about doing that and keeping my current data and watch history? I’m sorry, I’m still fairly new to Linux despite using it for 5 months so I’d appreciate any help!

    In a perfect world I would have a seperate PC to run Plex media server, but I can’t afford a 2nd PC to act as a server so I’m stuck using my main desktop as my media server. I just want to be able to keep my watch history between different installations of Linux.

    Thanks for the help though! Much appreciated!
