  • I never had an issue running a steam game on SteamOS. Non-steam games and 3rd party launchers like EGS or Ubisoft are a bit hit or miss; e.g. I never managed to get Fall Guys to launch, and Destiny is incompatible because of their anticheat. Diablo II Resurrected and Diablo IV run flawlessly though. Emulation is fine.

    I never really felt the need to install windows, as it would probably bring more issues than solutions.












  • I have the cheapest Hetzner VPS (it’s less than 5€/mo iirc), and I run a few self-hosted services on it. I’ll try to install Lemmy this week just to see, but I don’t doubt it will work without any issue.

    I’m probably not going to open it to registrations tho, not really the kind of stuff I want to manage.

    Well when you host your own website with your own funds, you try to not pay for unneeded perfs. But then a few hundreds people join, register, create content, upload images and videos, and suddenly your small VPS can’t handle the load. And you’re hesitant to scale up because it costs money, sometimes it costs time too because you need to migrate stuff, and maybe in a few days (or a few hours?) that load will disappear and now you’re on a more expensive tier for nothing.
