It’s to verify if either a configuration in Bazzite is the cause(such as your drivers), or if it is hardware related. The other comment asking if you installed the Nvidia version of Bazzite suspects driver issues as well, so a live USB would be able to rule it out or confirm it.

Alternatively, and probably the better option is to just take backups of your files and such and then reinstall Bazzite to the system, making sure you are using a version that is compatible with your graphics card. You don’t seem as though you know a tonne about Linux, so I would probably recommend that over trying to rebase the OS, as it will generally be easier for you to do I think, and more completely insure system stability.

I’ve heard a lot about Kubernetes, but haven’t actually had to interact with it once incredibly. Interesting, thanks for the recommendation!

Wow thanks!

(I’m a junior dev at my job, and don’t have a lot of experience).

You’re robbing yourself of gaining legitimate experience.

I always use AI to explain things to me, not code for me.

Ok.

I made that my mission, so I don’t let it think for me because I want to learn.

Alright.

I asked it to build an app for me that works on KDE Plasma, my favorite DE.

Seems like the exact opposite of just having it explain concepts to you, and not letting it think for you, and not letting it write code for you.

I’ve never programmed in Python, and it chose Python. lol. Ok, let’s go with it.

Ok, so you aren’t actually learning any python, and it is just generating python code for you, which you made no attempt to change such that it would just be explaining concepts to you preferably in a language you do know. Sounds a lot like you aren’t doing a lot of the thinking in this process, or writing the code.

Creates that little script I mentioned earlier

Creates the .desktop file for that app and makes it point to the correct things (script, icon, startupWMClass(this is so the app will still launch after pinning it to the panel)…etc)

Copies the appimage into a “appimages” folder in the home directory

Adds an icon of your choosing to the app

It makes everything executable

Instead of asking AI to make this in a language you don’t know, you’d probably be a lot better off learning some BASH and discovering that this is likely doable in a one-liner or function which you can associate to an alias.

I had it package the app into an appimage

So it is thinking for you, writing the code for you, and packaging it for you.

The honest part. I feel a tiny bit of shame deep inside

You should.

Who cares how I created it?

Programmers, artists, your boss, your future self when something breaks in prod and you realize that you have robbed yourself of so much experience by outsourcing any opportunity to obtain skill, knowledge, and wisdom that you have no idea what the fuck to do or why the problem is happening, and then someone sues you over it because it turns out in the mess of AI code which you haven’t even looked at 60% of up until this point there are out of scope variables from a thread the AI found on 1337codeForum.fuck circa 2008 which lead to a disaster where some guy who actually knows how code works half way around the globe stack buffer overflowed the fuck out of you.

If you want honest opinions from people, then this is mine. That little shame you feel is probably larger than you think and it’s because you aren’t doing yourself any favors.

Awesome, thanks! It didn’t occur to me that IKEA could be an option!

Personal system but I work in technology, so learning solutions used in industry is always handy.

I want spinning disks as they have shorter life but a wider mean time between failure, which should be better for the RAID I want to configure.

Since SSDs have a definitive number of writes in their lifetime, as I recall it can be kind of dangerous to install several new ones at the same time in something like a raid 1 configuration.

That’s great to know, all four of my other machines are running Debian right now so I should have a pretty good idea of what’s up!

That probably is what I will do for some time, leaning it gently and securely against a wall somehow, but in the future rack would be nice - especially if I find some enterprise firewall for sale or something.

Also really happy to hear ebay might have iLO licenses - I have grabbed a couple one-time licences off there for windows machines before, but I didn’t know they sometimes had stuff like this too.

Thanks!

Thanks for the tips and the link, that’s super useful!

Unsure about the iLO, but I do recall powering on one of these remotely in school using it. I’ll have to wait until I find some power cable to take a look I believe, but I do see a sticker with the default user name and password for it on the side, so here’s hoping haha.

I have a PLA 3d Printer, but I fear PLA has too low of a melting point to use for server components. It would be neat if there were a caddie model out there I could test with though - will have to look around.

Thanks for the insight on the rack as well, that will be good to know in the future I am certain.

Six screens? I’d love to see a picture of that setup to see how it works. What’s your system hardware as well, you would need some hell of a graphics card I imagine depending on resolution!

Yea and at that, if you do want touch capability, Plasma is also pretty good for that as I understand it as well haha.

Ah yes, I also had to leave Voicemeeter behind when I switched. I’m aware that there are some softwares available that purportedly fill that gap (JACK Audio Server was one if I recall correctly), however I don’t think I could figure them out. Voicemeeter was really quite good as far as simplicity went.

When I first installed it I was a little worried because I thought it broke my games, but then I quickly realized that Valve had updated their Proton release so all I had to do was roll back 1 version and everything started working again.

I just install my keys as needed to the machines and then configure aliases for quick connections. For file transfer with SFTP I’m using Filezilla because its queuing functionality and site management are nice.

I think for what you are looking for, both puTTY and Remmina should be capable as well as the other options suggested here

I had the same feeling - I still disregarded other choices in favor of XFCE on my little home server since I mostly interact with it over ssh anyway and didn’t need all the other functionality others have for it.

Yea, I happened across it when browsing the settings and was pretty fascinated - it adds a really cool extra layer of modular functionality to the system to make widgets actually super useful for specific cases and on the fly - or if I just want to instantly have a different feeling for the desktop.

Yes, I agree - I am also using Vivaldi for very much the same reasons.

I see. Thanks for expanding on the conversation with this thoughtful reply.

It is a quandary.

I would not support the project monetarily because I would not want to fund the primary persons behind it.

But Hyprland is FOSS is it not? Someone could fork the project to resolve the issue you are describing.

If this does not resolve the issue in your opinion (as you seem to have concerns with the “roots” of the project), and if we go with that logic, we should be just as opposed to using the modern “Jerry” gas can as it was a Nazi invention originally.

Both good and evil people invent things - whether the thing that is invented is itself reflective or could be considered supportive of the inventors ideals varies. Nazi’s are terrible and I don’t want to support them, but at the same time I think that it is good and useful to be able to safely and effectively transport gas if needed, and I’m not so certain that function supports Nazi ideals. If I purchased the gas can from a Nazi, then it would, but nothing is being purchased in the case of Hyprland as far as I am aware.

I don’t know a tonne about Hyprland as a thing however, so my decision on whether or not to use it may also vary.

In short, you can have massive, entirely valid criticisms of the evil deeds of a person, but that does not necessarily fault everything they invent or touch, even if we would like it to. This is the crux of the Composition/Division logical fallacy if I am not mistaken, which is where we make an assumption that what is true about part of something must be applied to the rest of it without exception.

In this instance, the inventor may be evil but it does not automatically mean that their inventions are inherently evil.

If there are criticisms of Hyprland, the software itself - then it is a different matter.
