I forgot to mention Fedora Silverblue. I’ve used it after Micro os and it was a better experience. Fedora seems to have a better out of box experience and had no issues.

Help with offgrid (power, no internet) "streaming"

I don’t have much experience with Plex, but if you can map the buttons in autohotkey you may be able to set it up to perform certain tasks in Plex. Also for consideration you should look into getting a small NAS setup with raid 5 in order to keep your media safe in case of a drive failure.

Being offline should not be a problem as long as devices are on the same local network.

I have heard of Gentoo, but not Funtoo. I’m still fumbling my way through Arch but I will definitely make some VMs one day to see what it’s all about. From my understanding (correct me if I’m wrong please) Gentoo is like Arch but even more customization, everything has to be compiled from source.

What is your experience with Gentoo, how would you describe it compared to Arch? Also I’ve seen FreeBSD as well and think it would be super nice for a server but not able to play games without difficulty due to fundamental differences to linux.

That is true in the same way that Ubuntu is Debian. I prefer the base version where I can choose what’s necessary for me for resource management and troubleshooting purposes. I forget what it was, but there were a few issues where Endeavouros was not working properly and the Arch wiki solutions did not work for it, could have been my error as well at the time.

What are your ear buds cleaning rituals?

I got an airpod cleaning multi tool from Amazon and it actually works really well.

Also if you have the Sony xm1004, they have little foam bits in them and over the years they get soaked up with sweat and earwax, it’s really gross. So if you think your sound is super quiet and have earbuds with foam inserts, first use some tweezers and something to gently squeeze out the foam and clean with isopropyl alcohol.

Yes it's a bit rough on here but I think the best thing to do is start up some more conversation on this one instead of splitting into another sub.

Also, there is double xp coming up this weekend which I am very excited for.

I am not an expert by any means, but depending on the mileage on the car and how much life you expect to get out of it, I feel that taking care of the rust now will be better sooner than later. My guess for price would be 1000 max, anything over that you should consider holding off on and using the car until you can’t anymore, maintaining the basics (oils, tires, brakes, fluids, etc) and putting the money towards another vehicle or down payment if possible.

I understand now, maybe give Debian a try with KDE.

Edit: or Fedora/Opensuse and their immutable versions (I believe the kde ones are in beta for immutable but work great if all you need is flatpaks)

I didn’t think about military surplus stores. There seems to be some items that people really enjoy, like the army poncho liners or old ammo canisters for containers.

I’ve been looking for a genuine army poncho liner but can only find knock offs online and cant find a reputable surplus store online if it exists

Fair enough, I most likely broke the system due to not understanding it when using Endeavour. From my understanding now, someone can choose to not install de specific programs and additional endeavouros apps.
