Ah I see. I guess it makes sense to squeeze out every single % in such cases.

also I had to set my CPU governor to performance

I believe most DE has an addon or equivalent for setting that.

How much of the tweaking is actually noticeable? Not trying to be a dick here. I'm so old that we didn't use to have GPUs, we had graphics cards and nobody had a "rig". Overclocking or hardware mods was the only way if you weren't willing to spend money on new hardware. Not saying Bazzite is that kind of distro but I'm so old I don't trust some spazzed out maintainer with cat ears and a discord channel. Let me break my own shit, you don't have to do it for me.

I have the exact same experience as you with Debian 11-13 and gaming. Both with Nvidia and AMD cards, various chipsets etc. Everything works. Sometimes after reading a few lines of official documentation and installing a package or two but that's about it.

The only thing that ever required some head scratching was the infamous EA and Rockstar launcher but that's not a Debian or even a Linux problem.... Everything else is identical to windows. Click install. Wait. Click play. Everything works in-game. What am I missing?

Hardware is boring. Doing some research is boring. People don't care about boring stuff. Or their data.

"Let's put every single family photo taken between 1976 and today on this and only this one shitty drive. And let me spin up an Immich container on my trusty raspberry. I have watched a YouTube video or two in my days. I think I know what I'm doing."

Bonus points for "but ssh is all you need", "static electricity has never been a problem for me" and "what gpu do you recommend for jellyfin?".

Wasn't obvious as I only saw thetvdb and don't watch anime. This isn't a unique issue for anime though. It's an ancient problem at this point and without a simple solution.

Edit: huh, so medusa does support using AniDB as a backend. I seem to remember it didn't or that there was some issue with it.

Perhaps it was added later.

If an alternative to sonarr existed

Flexget, Medusa

Overseerr

Ombi

The *arr stack is an abomination.

Having to manually handle shows my friends and family want to watch us not happening.

Your providing a free service, right?.... Dont forget to enjoy it yourself. Unless you serve 100 "friends" like everyone else. Then enjoy the money.

Norway has had the highest subsidies for electric vehicles in the world. Not sure how it is nowadays but if they aren't number one they're definitely in the top. I live in Scandinavia but not in Norway. This is only what I can remember, there may be more:

  • No registration fee. It's like 10 000 USD for a diesel.
  • No VAT/taxes on the purchase
  • No congestion fees
  • Allowed to drive in bus lanes
  • Free parking
  • No toll fees (and there are tolls absolutely everywhere)

You can get a brand new Model Y in Norway for about 40 000 USD.

Just for comparison: that's roughly what a new premium car costs in neighbouring countries. Add 10K if you want it to be electric. 20k if you want more range than a few km and any kind of comfort and quality.
