You could probably do this with FUSE. Guess nobody cared to make that yet.

Opencloud is a fork of the new Owncloud, I think. Similar to how Nextcloud was forked from the old Owncloud.

You can access all Nextcloud files over WebDAV. That is natively supported by many file browsers, including explorer.exe on Windows.

And you can choose in the Linux client what folders to sync.

What the Linux client (in contrast to the Windows client) does not support is having virtual files in a folder and only downloading files on demand.

Apart from that, have you looked at Opencloud?

This petition should be using the state’s official petition site.

Many people equate the DE with the distro they tried it on. So yeah, DE is a huge factor. There’s a lot of them out there and too many people think you have to switch distribution to try a new one.

If you don’t like KDE, can’t you just stay on Gnome?

Write your own OS running on RISC-V.

Other way around. Sunshine is the server, Moonlight is the client.

Star Craft 2

BTW, in general you can change your desktop environment without switching the distro. They just often come with a default. But installing another is usually one command away and then you can choose at the login screen.

KDE’s Activities could help you. They are basically completely different desktop layouts and open programs for different tasks. You could set up one for each website with a different Firefox and Thunderbird profile and desktop wallpaper and other things.

Firefox recently added a new profile manager to do just that. Thunderbird should also support having multiple separate profiles.

No, VR works on Linux. One of the easier ways to get it running on something like Meta’s Quest 3 is Valve’s Steam Link. And older tethered headsets like Valve’s Index work as well.

And there are even open source solutions like ALVR to work with streaming headsets.

How do you get from it literally running on SteamOS to not “ready for a full OS”?

But it’s still a full fledged ARM computer running SteamOS including full desktop support. It’s just a matter of time until you can put a mainline Linux distribution on it and have it do whatever you want.

My guess is that Valve market it as a streaming-first device because they don’t have as many VR titles in their catalogue that can run on it as Meta has for the Quest. It’s a safer bet not to rely on devs porting their lighter games to the Frame.

And if they do not manage to get Alyx running on it comfortably nobody will blame them because they never promised it in the first place.

But it is not an exclusively tethered device. Never was. It is a full on gaming PC. Just not one with the power to run newer games. But it’s plenty powerful enough to run all of the Team Beef ports. And besides playing those and lighter flat games I will enjoy playing around with a fully functional Linux OS on a VR headset.

Yeah, but the Frame is one of the few headsets that will enable us to use this stuff directly on the headset.

Frick, my desire to have a Steam Frame is rising daily.

Yes, of course.

No, not at all. By default Wine should offer your whole Linux drive on Z:, so you can choose whatever location you want.

Heroic puts the games in ~/Games/Heroic/gamename but the .wine folder in ~/Games/Heroic/prefixes/gamename. Steam does something similar.

You should also consider using a helper like Lutris, Heroic or Bottles. They create a separate .wine folder for every game. That way it is easier to manage multiple conflicting libraries and Wine versions. If your home is on BTRFS or other deduplicating filesystem the additional space needed for multiple .wine folders is almost zero.

If you don’t want to use a helper program you can still utilise multiple non-standard .wine locations with the WINEPREFIX environment variable.

SUSE has had graphical administration tools for literally decades. Somehow people always forget that.
