Unfortunately my Intel card craps out when trying to color correct the display.

Can you see with top or ps what program is eating up all the RAM? Probably some bug you may report.

I often exit a shell with ctrl+d. And I often see if a shell is still connected by pressing enter. They are definitely not equivalent.

That would be great. It would mean a ton of lost revenue and bad publicity for Denuvo.

Yeah, another good example of the XY-Problem.

I did that. Turns out my error had nothing to do with space. I was just booting into a read-only snapshot by default. Rolling back to a later snapshot fixed everything.

You are actually kinda right. My error is that / is read only. The other subvolumes are writable. No idea why or how I can find out why.

If I understand subvolumes correctly they share their space when they reside on the same device. I only have two partitions. One for /boot/efi and one for the rest.

We had something similar in Germany but apparently the “encryption” was much worse. The audio was unencrypted and the image was complete with just the lines being jumbled around. So if you had a key file with the correct order for the lines and a capture card you could watch it for free.

They had all the new movies earlier than other TV channels and some porn at night. As far as I recall I only used it to watch one movie. Not One Less. A great Chinese movie about a substitute teacher in a poor rural town fighting to get a kid who left to work in the city back to school.

Small tangent, I didn’t have the energy to read your whole post, so you might have addressed that. But often it’s cheaper to go with an established multi purpose device instead of building something new.

I used to build and sell Raspberry Pi gaming handhelds that were as cheap as possible and literally just held together by some string. My purpose was to get enough money through the sales to be able to build one for myself. Sure, the building process was fun. But when I crunched the numbers just buying a cheap smartphone and controller was much cheaper and more performant and versatile than the self-built solution.

Just buying a cheap phone or tablet is often the cheaper solution.

Heck, even Valve just bought off the shelve tablet displays and turned the image in software for the Steam Deck.

For VR with Oculus (Quest or older?) you can use ALVR. It can be a bit fiddly but it also gets better with each release and it’s been a while since I tried it out. Steam Link might also work. I couldn’t try that because it only works on Quest 2 and upwards and I only have a Quest 1.

I just have no interest in a Disney-ified KOTOR whatsoever.

You mean as a file server? I’d probably use a minimal Debian installation. But almost any distro should have a minimal flavour.

Aren’t they carefully tuned to be to work/study to?

It’s called “corpse”. Often riddled with diseases.

Something tells me Karl Marx wouldn’t like these things either.
