I’ve been in a similar position to you. I was in an accident and woke up missing a quarter of my skull.

Props for getting back to servers and code as a part of your recovery. The recovery process for me took a long time and a lot of work. I imagine you are in a similar position and question whether things will ever be the same again, the same way I have. I don’t know your particular situation very well, true. But for me, recovery not only took a lot of exercise, balance routines, relearning vocabulary, and a couple of surgeries; but it also took a lot of faith.

Shoot, you mentioned your projects, I did something similar. I found a hypervisor on Craigslist and set up Apache Cloudstack. I pushed myself to learn DevOps skills on it, Jenkins, terraform, cloud-init, and I’m still working on a AWS DevOps Cert.

But I would like to say kudos on your work. I think that doing it during your recovery is an extremely difficult prospect, but I do think that it pays off in the long run.

tldr; I think your recovery is coming along great. You may have quite the ways to go down that road, we don’t really know. But until you’re fully recovered, you will be in our hearts, minds, and prayers.

I mean I have a water-cooled Ryzen 9950X, Radeon 7900 XTX, 64 GB DDR5, 4 TB nvme, and 5120x1440 HDR monitor.

Plays borderlands 4, Rocket League, Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West, Jedi survivor, elite dangerous, Sifu, star wars outlaws, god of war, cyber punk, and Elden Ring. And most of those run better for me on Linux than they did on Windows. For one, the various launchers(Ubisoft, epic, etc) actually stop when you stop playing the games, but fps is better too.

Have you had issues playing games on Linux? I can help if you need it. Highly recommend Nobara. It is based on fedora, a fairly well known and reliable version of Linux. The main difference is instead of the fedora kernel, it uses the kernel built by CachyOS. This optimized kernel results in roughly 10+ fps in games.

Idk why your switching off of Windows, but for me it is all the Microslop spyware they’ve been installing. Good God, I just installed Windows 11 home(instead of pro) on a PC for the first time and they literally showed ads during the installation. Plus the AI nonsense… ugh… Why do I need notepad to send my data to an AI? That’s stupid, I want my data to be local and never leave my computer without my permission.

Regardless, good luck on your gaming journey! XD

Doom Rogue Like.

Not sure if Jupiter Hell(successor by the creators) will run on dos though.

I had issues with btrfs-assistant. It’s a permissions thing, tho. Might work if I added myself as an administrator, but I like the security of needing sudo, so pacman version it is.

Have you checked your modem/Wi-Fi router?

Sounds Dumb, I know, but many have them baked in.

It may not be perfect, but it covers all devices unless you can login.

I mean, true, but most of the things I do that with are private scripts that I wrote. I think the main exception to that is Oh-my-zsh.

Also it’s not really a full pipe…

bash <(curl cht.sh/curl)

That’s saves the URL as a temporary file and opens it with bash. Frankly, the URL I gave you is very bad because it is not actually a script, just the help page for curl. Frankly, it would better if it wasn’t nested.

Yeah, after testing it, I realized it was just more efficient and organized for me.

Does anyone else feel like this is meme hasn’t aged well? There was a point where it was true, but now I would say installing up to date drivers on Linux and maintaining them is easy than Windows…

Same.

I see you’re on the right path… If you need any help feel free to reach out to the community and we got your back.

It’s made by DHH, the Creator of Ruby on rails… I can’t tell you if he is a right wing conspiracy theorist because I simply haven’t done the research.

Honestly, I would say either of those are good options to start with. I sincerely doubt fully breaking the PC. Maybe research Linux for your GPU, you may have multiple options. It may be worth a second hard drive so you can easily swap back and forth until you are fully comfortable. Dual booting on the same HDD is also possible, but more annoying.

Personal issue I ran into: motherboard customization on my big gamer doesn’t work without Windows… Not a huge deal, but my Rainbow LED runs its animation in reverse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EndeavorOS… I’ve been wanting to try that… Although I heard some good things about CachyOS and need to try that one first.

That said if you’re on the hyprland journey, you may look at Omarchy, it is basically Arch with hyprland preconfigured. Not a huge deal, but simple for a test.

Uh… My journey actually started with Nobara after researching. But I wanted to try hyprland, so switched to Arch.

One of the things I like about Arch is the yay util designed to build packages basically straight from GitHub, and provide an easy way to upgrade them.

I will also go ahead and say that jumping straight to Arch is a bad idea. I would look at Ubuntu or Fedora first. Arch pushes updates really quickly and it can occasionally cause issues.

Hyprland is my new favorite. Never even thought I would like a tiling Windows manager before, but it is pretty sick. Quickshell is pretty cool too…

Debian servers… But what direction did you go for your daily driver? There is no wrong answer, but I like hearing how people migrate over.

I was the same as you, btw, started with Debian servers be it an Apache Cloudstack hypervisor, or k8s host.

But because I decided to go with a tiling Windows manager, somehow I ended up down the hyprland rabbit hole on Arch.

I have… Moved my gaming over to it… Admittedly better since I don’t play anything like cod or bf. But you can keep a dual boot just in case. Still plays horizon zero dawn, fallen Jedi, borderlands 4(probably better on Linux), and Doom Eternal. Also Rocket League.

If you’re truly interested, reach out to the community. We got your back.

Nope, you are right, I was not familiar with the resistance of the human body and I was wrong.

Hahaha. Ok, I thought you were a young child because you spelled battery differently and your take on everything I said the first time seemed childish. I told you not to touch a car battery because I thought you were a child. I still wouldn’t personally touch it, but that’s not what’s funny. You are NOT an electrical engineer. YOU ARE A STUDENT, lmao, I thought you might be a child and I wasn’t far off.

Your German, correct? I fixed aircraft in Germany, and you are only a student. Ever work on 115 VAC @ 400Hz 3 Phase? Ever work on C-130 avionic systems? What about B-1’s?

There is actually a lot of stuff I miss about Germany, too. Döner Kabob… God I miss those, they were my favorite. Oh and the German ice cream. Also the beer… I miss a good Dunkel.

You know, the sad part about this interaction is that I think we may have been friends, if you didn’t come across so aggressive. A lot of your posts are on a German Arch community, which, well I’m running that with btrfs, snapper, hyprland, and quickshell. I intend to change to cachyos, I rather appreciate their optimized kernel.

Regardless, keep studying you’ll be an electrical engineer soon.
