Jinstalling software and doing upgrades shouldn't break your PC
Hits like saying "you ran windows update, why would you update your OS? its your fault it broke from a broken update"
Jlike, if you're going to break your PC at least do something epic, breaking it because of some crappy third party package or doing a dist-upgrade is weak sauce
MWindows modified dll files
JI'm talking about linux, we don't make uwin (yet), heh
MBut it's related
Hi accidentally used DD to clone 1 disk over my running system disk, was kinda spectacular that i got away without any data loss (thank you backups) and watch GNOME slowly die i went like "huh this dd is taking longer than usual" followed by immediate black screen with the blinking prompt
whoops
whoops
Jyeah when the prompt doesn't return right away ... "uh oh"
MBecause last time I was on Windows I had this fucking annoying ddl error for video content that wouldn't go away. it was effecting all of my MakeMV burned videos. I would try to play one then Windows would say it can't fine. I check the folder they are clearly there.
MTurned out for some odd reason Plex was the cuplrit for modifying that necessary ddl file.
MI didn't really know what those were so I watched a Linus tech Tips video on it
Hpretty much, i lost maybe 2 hours of data which was like what, 3 notes and 1 hour of gameplay in a game?
MSo installing software even if it's legit can break your computer.
Jright so in this world plex can't do that
MGood. That's why I switched to Linux.
MBut one day I will need to get a virtual machine for Windows utilities. Which fucking sucks
Jwell, the deb/rpm of plex can totally do that
Jwhich is why we run everything in containers instead
Hi can give you a good example
runescape had a new native linux client
they didnt update it for years, so long so that installing it required you to install an old library from ubuntu 16.04 which had security issues. this gave rise to the community run flatpak version just so that people would not install a library that could break a future system update or crash other applications if they found the old library version on a newer system.

MI want to get into docker as well, I had installed on Linux Mint. But I didn't even get a chance to fully use it. and then I lost that one too after i installed Bazzite OS.
MI lost a lot and I've just been biding my time.
MDamn! what morons
Hyep
Hidk what the current situation is but i know they updated the package a few years back now, but people already moved to the flatpak before i quit the game anyway
Hi knew most of the people working on the flatpak anyway as they were old contributers to the linux version of the java based client (essentially a launcher with linux specific fixes to the official java client)
Hso i knew i could put my trust and support behind the flatpak when people were like "idk if i can trust it"
MThe flatpack is amazing! I love how everything is free!
MBye bye Windows store and your 99 cent apps
Hi try to support one way or another for the free apps if i can
MThe Linux Foundation recieves lots of donations. They could just pay app developers for the flatpack.
DI find podman better
Hi use podman on all my newer systems, main system is still using docker as some of my stuff got angry migrating to podman and i decided 
so next time i blow up my main system i will reinstall and move that to podman
ehh i will sort it out when i do a reinstall in a few years as i have done some quite no no system changes on my main system so next time i blow up my main system i will reinstall and move that to podman
RHi, does Bazzite support multiple drives? I have 1 NVME for the OS and 2 SSDs for storage. Wanna make sure I can actually mount them all and have them in steam as storage options.
KYep, if they are permanent drives add them to fstab like any other distro
KYou can also do that from either of the disk utilities in KDE or GNOME
RAwesome! That's great to hear
KOn the deck images it's the same as steamos where it will automount SD cards
VIs GNOME Disk Utility on the KDE versions?
Tno but you can overlay it
Tthat's what i do since gnome disks is just that good lol
VI have, that's why I asked lol
VI was gonna say it'd be good to preinstall because it makes editing fstab way easier.
Hthe kde partition manager can also do it from what i remember which is there by default
VI don't think it can
ROn normal Linux distros it definitely can
VI've never seen the option then, might just not be easy to find
VIn terms of Fstab this is a normal distro
KI don't have KDE in front of me
Kbut
