  • I absolutely loved 2. I beat 2 before I beat 1, but went back and beat 1, and beat 2 multiple more times.

    I can’t say I have an order, but I love:

    • Kingdom Hearts 2
    • Kingdom Hearts 3
    • Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep

    Those are my favorite from the series as whole.

    I really couldn’t ever get into Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories or Re:Chain of Memories.

    Back in the day, I bought Birth by Sleep and beat it, but wanted more; so there was an English Patch of the final mix for PSP available and beat that too. And when the collection came out on PS4 (Before the PC release) I went and bought a PS4 Pro just for KH collection. Which now I am going back and beating all of them again but on Proud.






  • I tried using Bazzite since I didn’t want to fuss with Wayland on Nvidia with Arch.

    I had more gripes and more issues with an immutable distro than I ever did with my Arch install.

    Stuck it out with Arch. It has taught me a lot.

    The problem many folks have with Arch is the fact they don’t want to read or learn; well, newsflash, if you read and learn Arch isn’t exactly all that hard to use, setup, or maintain. It has better documentation than Bazzite and other newer distros. In fact, Arch Wiki has saved me hassle for other distros.

    Your mileage may vary. However, I wouldn’t recommend an immutable distribution nec3ssarily to someone coming from Windows unless they want to shift from one paradigm to another.

    Switching from Windows to something with such a vastly different approach in many cases will turn users away from using Linux. Their experience can dictate they switch away because of lack of knowledge and then proced to conflate every distro as just one “Linux” experience and not want to look back at it.

    I still stand by one thing you will always hear me say: use the right tool for the job.







  • Glad to hear another success story of someone who dropped Windows.

    I dropped Windows on all of my machines over a month ago. My 2 desktops and 1 laptop I own are on Arch. I can’t fully escape Windows completely due to music production software I use due to lack of support for the hardware on Linux. (Thanks Line6…) So I run a Windows VM in QEMU with USB passthrough, but with no network access.

    I wrote an alias to count days its been since I switched to Linux full time.

    It wasn’t a difficult switch for me. Even with the learning curve. I actually enjoy the tinkering and learning aspect.






  • I want to self host more, but power draw is a concern.

    So I have gone the route of running to Pi 4 8gb models as my hosts of choice.

    So far I am hosting:

    Non-Docker:

    • PiHole
    • Unbound
    • Wireguard (and Wireguard-UI)

    Docker:

    • ForgeJo
    • Dozzle
    • Homarr
    • LinkWarden
    • Traefik
    • Watchtower

    There are a few other services I want to get up, but I haven’t gotten around to it:

    • Jellyfin
    • Immich
    • Nextcloud

    As to why:

    • ForgeJo to host my own git repositories (Docker Compose files, Chezmoi dot files, Miscellaneous configs)
    • PiHole for ad blocking
    • Unbound, well, having my own DNS
    • Wireguard so I can connect to my home network
    • Dozzle for easy log checking for my docker containers
    • Linkwaren so I can backup bookmarks in a privacy friendly way
    • Homarr for easy access to other web services I host
    • Traefik so I can resolve IP:port to a hostname with SSL certificates even though everything I host is internal only
    • Watchtower to update my Docker containers
