11 IoT Enterpise LTSC is the way to go. Definitely don’t waste your time looking for it on massgravedotdev, because they also definitely don’t have permanent hardware activation instructions, either.

Would be hilarious if they took her ideas, and made a small AI exhibit section. But the first thing you read or watch is an explanation that AI is a marketing buzz term, and then explains LLM and machine learning.

I hope you like it! Zen with AVX2 finally ended my years of browser hopping.

It can install addons like any other FF fork, and there’s an entire settings tab with a long list of keybinds.

I just searched it, straight from playstations website:

https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/buy-games/god-of-war-ragnarok-pc

“Do I need a PSN account to play PlayStation games on PC?”

“No, you currently do not need a PSN account to enjoy PlayStation Studio games on PC, but you will need a Steam account to redeem your voucher code. Some of our PlayStation Studios titles also offer incentives for linking your Steam and PSN accounts.”

Edit: Their website could be outdated, or incorrect? I just swear I saw an article title that Sony removed the requirement for PSN for Ragnarok PC.

I could of sworn I read Sony decided to make the PSN account optional.

Windows 11 Enterprise IoT LTSC. The way Windows was supposed to be, bullshit free. Like a fresh XP install. Feels good to game on a W11 that doesn’t fight you, nor installs so much damn bloat all the time.

Just doing the lords work for those stuck on Windows, and who are unaware: massgravedotdev

Not sure if it’s exactly what you’re after, but Unifi gateways can install NextDNS with a script provided by NextDNS. It’s all the same lists as Pi-Hole, and possibly more intelligent ones, too. Bonus points are it makes every device in your home use encrypted DNS, as well!

I’m using it on a Dream Machine Pro, and the new Cloud Gateway Ultra.

That exploit required kernel access to begin with, which at that point, you have much bigger problems.

I have one of their’s that can connect to your phone. It’s not needed, it just adds extra cook book functions. It even hosts it so you can control the sous vide when you’re not at home, almost like a reverse proxy.

But yea the physical buttons work fine without the app.

I have never heard of a vehicle that was referred to as a milk float, ever. What they is?!

Unraid!

Traefik + CrowdSec + Authelia ftw

That’d be advertising, and by a mile.

Bazzite out the box is just absolutely bonkers how good it is. Basically just stick to flatpaks from the DE’s app store, and layering anything else with rpm-ostree.

If the game isn’t on Steam, then Lutris which also comes with Bazzite, is your best bet. It’ll have installers for other DRM/launchers that work. I’ve gotten Ubisoft Connect and Battle.net to work and install games, but no luck getting Epic to work.

Also the app that can manager wine runners/steam’s proton are great. I’d have it download the latest proton-ge for steam, and set that to be the default version for every game’s Proton version. I don’t remember its name on gnome, but on KDE Plasma it’s ‘proton-qt’

Fun fact, proton-ge which stands for Glorious Egg Roll, is from the same guy who makes Nobara.

If Nobara was on your list, check out Bazzite. It’s Nobara but bullet proof.

Check out Windows Xlite, they have 10 and 11. Their install iso’s are stripped of all Microsoft’s bullshit.

I’m in the same boat, of needing to still use Windows.

Check out Windows XLite. Its a highly customized iso that gets rid of all the bullshit. No automatic updates (they’re provided as cumulative installers), no windows defender, no edge, no cortana, no store, no Xbox, etc. Those things are all stil available, too. Also, all the telemetry is disabled from registry and gpolicy, and since no auto updates, they won’t mess with those entries to “uh oh we turned on our spying again, and didn’t tell you.”

Its a massive breath of fresh air, feels like going back to XP and 7, when your fresh install has nothing at all. Not even dot.net and vcredist, which are also available.

I DEFINITELY shared that worry, but I found it on an invite only forum that has a track record of clean isos and modded OS’es, and any uploaded files are scanned by multiple anti-malware/viruses. Plus I could see the dude FBConan had a long very active history there. He + someone else used to make Phoenix Lite, but other dude wanted to get greedy, so he ditched him and went solo. Now he just takes donations from Patreon, and makes downloading easy from his own website.

Multiple displays are always a shit show. Once a year I try out a current distro, and within a week I’m back on Windows. This time was Bazzite, and the exact same problems as always, both Plasma and Gnome, just last week. After all this time windows still don’t remember their size and position, and right click context menus randomly break and show up on the opposite monitor. Go and look up the bugs, and I can see they’ve been a problem for like 5-15 years.

If you give up on Linux for the time being, I HIGHLY recommend looking up Windows Xlite. It is a highly modified Windows 10 or 11 iso. They even have the option to install without Windows Defender, its such a breath of fresh air, almost feels like being back on XP or 7.
