I’m using lmde now for it but I’ve had a few headaches and I get harassed by a lot of updates anyway. Getting the Nvidia970 video card to work was a a bit of a pain but it seems to be ok for now. Hosting yams with plex on it now but kinda scared to go much further with immich or an audiobook library until I’m confident I have the right base.

If I want a Linux box that can function as a home server but also fire up Steam and play using my old 970 if I want to, does cachy fit?

So now proton is ok and Mullvad is bad? I thought proton was ostracized for the same reasons?

People need to follow what they believe is necessary but I ask this: how many degrees of separation from your money is far enough to enjoy a product without having to worry about where the money is going? Eventually someone you don’t agree with will touch it.

on Take-Two CEO Says We'll All Be Streaming Our Games In 3 Years in c/games@lemmy.world · 9 Aug 2026
I think what a lot of people don’t understand is that the dip in revenue is tolerable because they’ve run the numbers on the data they have and found that this move makes them more money in the long run. Unless you are willing to find a new hobby, there will always be a game you will compromise on if you have these sort of values, and millions of people that just don’t care enough.
You also have to remember this is how they define reality as well. Corporations may well be more durable than governments at certain levels of revenue. Try to recall all the things that you took as being eternal eg the Internet if you are gen z. These things were new at the time but you lived your life as though they always existed.
Now look at how the younger generations will grow into this new gaming paradigm with those who remember current times complaining as they ramble about back in their day etc etc. The new generations will roll their eyes as they go to buy the limited edition pre order collectors editions discs because the disc will become a status symbol.
Not to mention if everything goes their way we will be streaming games. Can’t be cannibalising this new revenue stream by selling physical disks that let people play without accessing the network and giving us data. In sure there are more plans but I haven’t gone researching anything.
I don’t have the answers, but we will all have to keep fighting the good fight against corporate rent seeking in all its forms. At least those of us that are aware enough. But we have to accept we won’t be making a difference as to how the world works, just living in accordance with our values.
Thanks for the input and your time. I’m actually using docker for the yams setup and totally forgot that makes the underlying tech fairly irrelevant
