I decided to switch back to Linux as my main/daily OS on my desktop system. Since I had been using Solus a few years ago on my desktop system and have been using it on a spare laptop for many years, I went with that (Solus Budgie, to be precise). Things that didn't work right away: The Solus 4.8 installation/boot procedure Nvidia graphics drivers Elgato Wave 3 microphone Regarding the Solus 4.8…

I got an invite for Amazon's new "Luna" cloud-gaming-service a few days ago. To accept the invite, I had to use a VPN-node in the US, otherwise it would tell me that Luna is not supported in my region (Europe). It seems like the region-check only occurs when signing up, not when starting game-session. So no VPN needed after signing up. When I tried to start a game in Chrome on Linux, Luna would…
Over the last few weeks, I've tried some of the different "cloud gaming" services that are available now. There are many different hosting/service models on the market today. Personally, I'm not interested in a service where I have to buy games specifically for THAT service.

I ran out of space on my root-partition today and was stumped for a second. This command was useful to find out where the space was being used: cd / sudo du -sh * . Then I found out Ubuntu doesn't delete old kernel images (which can take up several GBs over time) automatically, one has to do this manually. Here's how: First, run these commands to do some maintenance / cleanup: sudo apt-get…
