    I had a brief expedition into game development recently and ended up using Unreal Engine, I eventually gave up on Unreal – but I do plan on checking out Godot. Although, I eventually go home sick for Linux (my computer isn’t powerful enough to run a Windows VM with a game engine; please spare me), and ended up wanting a “it just works™” setup. So, logically, I try Fedora. Although, the installer just wouldn’t boot, not on a USB, not on Ventoy, nothing. Just a cold dark screen with a solid underline cursor. I also tried OpenSUSE at one point, but there’s some bad blood between me and that distro so I think I gave up at the installer. Anyway, I ended up installing Arch Linux, and would you look at that, the installer launches!

    TL;DR: Arch Linux might take more time to get setup to your liking, but once you get it there, it it just works™.

    PS: I have very much non-free hardware, this could be part of it – and it made installing Artix Linux with hardware encryption very difficult that one time. :/

    Edit: PPS: I’m not trying to say “don’t use Fedora or OpenSUSE,” use what you want. This is my experience.













  • I absolutely hate having my phone. Most people will tell me things in person, or at the very least to check my phone. Plus, I have an amazing music library, which is fantastic but raises the question of how does one properly keep track of so many files. The answer to both of these questions is my trusty iPod, it does the one thing I bought it to do: play music (and sometimes podcasts). I no longer need to worry about my family group chat while out on a walk, and it has a headphone jack (which is the only way that the thing is gonna play music, I do get rather worried that I’m gonna play something embarrassing when I’m using Bluetooth headphones on my phone).

    TL;DR: I love my iPod.

    The first thing I see is that your server name is matrix.***.com, which means that users/MIDs will be @hai@matrix.***.com, instead of @hai@***.com, which assuming the use of .well-known you want the second. Other than that I don’t really see anything that’d be an issue, but again, I haven’t used Synapse. I hope that helps, keep me updated!
