OMG. I recall playing a Tarminator game in the 90s but was too young to care about the developer. TIL that it was made by Bethesda.

Wow, what a very detailed response. I’ve only been using Bazzite for about two weeks and still learning about it. Now I have a slightly better understanding of how it all works. 👍

I previously used Nobara but recently switched to Bazzite. I think you can give either of these two a shot. I recall Nobara includes a one button install of nvidia drivers. Not too sure about Bazzite since I have an AMD gpu.

Both these distros are gaming focused. Only difference is Nobara is a traditional distro while Bazzite is atomic desktop based.

“noauto” sounds like a step in the right direction. I might give it a shot.

Many thanks. You’ve been very helpful.

I have installed nfs-kernel-server packages. I think it is possibly a permissions issue.

I briefly considered mounting it on the host (Proxmox) layer, but the way I have things set up, I only power on the NAS if I need to access it. Most of the time the Proxmox hardware will be booting up when the NAS is off and I think it will cause boot issues trying to mount a NAS share which it cannot find.

We need a Command & Conquer Remastered style treatment.

Am using a Zenfone 8 with a jack. As for future upgrade, still unsure. My top priority would be the size - has to be the same or preferably smaller than the Zenfone, so that limits my potential options.

I was travelling recently and was fortunate to be able to watch a F1 race. The track had a FM broadcast of the commentary in English, and my Zenfone 8 with the built in FM tuner made itself very useful indeed, since the FM tuner only works with wired earphones.

I ended up mounting the NAS share via CIFS and it appears to be working.

I tried to mount the share as NFS, but it didn’t seem to work from the console in the container. I ended up using CIFS which worked.

I finally got around to getting things set up, and for some reason, the container I created for jellyfin refused to allow NFS mounting.

I ended up trying a “Turnkey Media Server” template which ended up working. It also didn’t allow NFS mounts, but it did allow CIFS mounting, which I used. Jellyfin is now refreshing the library. So far so good.

Steam has also done a ton of work making games run on linux via Proton. Not to forget the Steamdeck too.

Noted. I guess used the wrong definition for Bazzite and that confused me. LOL.

Good to know that /etc is writable. I might have to download it and give it a spin. Thanks for clarifying.

Have not tried immutable distros, but I like the idea that the core OS is read-only to prevent a rookie user from messing things up.

Then again, if the core OS is read-only, is it at all possible to modify some system files like fstab files to auto-load drives?

I am intrigued. Presently using Nobara right now, and I’ve been running into strange issues, like the whole system suddenly becoming unwritable and Firefox crashing out of the blue and needing an entire system reboot.

Was trying to get corectrl configured and I was blindly copying text to paste into config files.

Next thing I know, I can’t get my system to boot up again. 🤣

Time to reinstall. Again. 😅

Tipping is like paying for DLC / microtransactionw but not getting anything out of it.

Yeah… NAH!

If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it’s not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.

Amazing.

Just being able to dump hundreds of items into my backpack and have them automatically sorted and being able to find what I want instantly by typing into a search field will make my day.
