If you have any App you used before and isnt available on Linux: You can try to install the .exe-file with a Tool named “Bottles”.

Each Programm you run with that tool gets its own virtual Space, so if you mess something up, you can throw that one bottle away and just create another in its fresh New environment.

It has a clean UI and you can play with all kinds of different configs to get your Bottle to run. You can choose between different Windows Versions for example.

Under the hood it uses Wine and Proton.

Pro-Tip: Start Programms via the UI in “Terminal-Mode” so you can See potential Error-Messages which you would normally not see, if you just run the Programm.

Productivity:

• Habit Maker (Open Source and from the Creator of lemmy)

• Street Complete (Open Source, Easy Contributing and helping to update OSM-Data)

I need Motivation and often trick myself into doing some activities. Mostly per videogames. I try to do at least one Minigame per day and it actually helps with my Back-Pain. Continuity is key.

VR:

1. Beat Saber
2. Superhot

Nintendo Wii/Switch:

Thanks for the lookup to that article! Very Informative and entertaining

Personally i would recommend ubuntu Server and host as much you can over Docker and docker-compose files (selfhost is sooooo easy since docker!).

Ubuntu-Server is light weight and uses an common package manager which is widely used. Also the system is matured and frequently updated.

You can install portainer on the Server and manage all your containers/services through an easy UI.

Also you could install Watchtower on it, so all your docker-containers will be updated automaticly.

Edit: If you are just unsure about the Distro of choice, here is an pretty nice Website to search for distros of any kind: https://distrowatch.com/search-mobile.php?ostype=Linux&category=NAS&origin=All&basedon=All&notbasedon=None&desktop=All&architecture=All&package=All&rolling=All&isosize=All&netinstall=All&language=All&defaultinit=All&status=Active#simpleresults

I use Jellyfin for all my media and on Desktop like on My Linux-Phone an APP called “Supersonic” to connect to my Audio-library.

I really like it on the desktop, but unfortunetly it isnt build for mobile-devices. But it runs under postmarketOS on My OnePlus6T and it does its job.

Yeah, but can you post events anonymous there? I tried it a couple of Years ago and i didnt See that Option. But maybe that changed since then.

Also it seems Less active for my country (germany). In my area there is a instance called https://bonn.jetzt/ which is quite active and is also posting on Mastodon.

In my experience shit just works in Linux. I own an 10+ year old external DVD-Drive and an newer external BD-Diskdrive. And both of em work flawless on Manjaro.
