I started with authelia, but decided I’d rather not fork around with config files all the time ( I didn’t have issues with it though ).

Then I switched to voidauth which has more UI. Works well too, but I find the UI a bit confusing to use. It is a bit atypical in the sense that going back and forward between menus is different and bothers me for some reason.

Currently running that in parallel with pocket. I’m charmed by the simplicity of not having to deal with or worry about passwords. It also has a built in dashboard of apps you can access which removes the need ( for me ) to run something else and keep that up to date.

My supernote hasn’t advertised anything ( besides an occasional marketing email ): www.supernote.com

Most people I know have been enthusiastic about cachyos after switching to it.

Currently also running on bazzite, so I can’t comment on experience. Bazzite does have it’s own quircks due to the immutability. The distroboxes to run software ( both graphical as CLI ) are pretty great once you get used to them. Its nice to be able to install a .deb file in a distrobox if I have no other alternatives available.

Cachy is arch based and having access to the AUR is probably a big +.

Its hard to advise on “I don’t like some bazzite things outside of gaming” though. Anything specific you miss/dislike on bazzite? Speed? Immutability?

In before they ask the user their age every day until it changes and they figure out your birthday and MS totally could not see that coming

I also did it with this.

While you can change it afterwards, it might be worthwhile to check a setting in immich on how it organizes the photos on disk you upload.

I changed it to year/month/photo-id because I find it convenient, but it does not organized them like that for backups.

You can change it at a later date and run a job to “fix it”, but it might be worthwhile to set it up correctly from the start ( if this matters to you ). So no harm done if you change your mind later.

This forum topic claims the iris xe is not strong enough per the minimum requirements of the game.

Also, upon reviewing the system requirements for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, I found that the minimum GPU specification is a GTX 1650. Unfortunately, the Intel Iris Xe graphics is not comparable to the GTX 1650 in terms of performance. Additionally, both the minimum and recommended GPU specifications for the game are discrete GPUs, which may lead to compatibility issues with the integrated graphics you are using.

Care to give an example which anti cheat games you’re talking about? I’m aware of a few ( like the most recent battlefield) which doesn’t work because EA just doesn’t want to allow it.

But I’m pretty sure I’ve played online games which have anti cheat and it just works without any convoluted install mechanisms.

Maybe these are different games than the ones you’re trying to play.

I don’t know when you last tried gaming on Linux. It’s made a lot of improvements the past few years, but maybe the games you’re mentioning are still wonky.

Sadly that has more to do with games/publishers denying Linux rather than Linux not being able to run the game. The latter is something the proton devs can work on, the former is just hoping for the gamedev/publisher to not be a dick.

The best is pretty subjective and partially relies on what you need.

Keycloak is one of the most feature complete ones I think.

I’ve used authelia before and liked it, but it had a very bare UI and everything was done through config files which forced redeploys on changes. It wasn’t ideal for me.

I’m currently trying out voidauth. It’s got some more Ui features compared to authelia and can apparently also simulate some Active Directory queries to forward your users to third party tools for provisioning ( unless I saw that wrong, I haven’t tested any yet ).

Authentik looked nice, but I haven’t gotten around to checking that one out yet.

Signal used to do text messaging as well but they removed the feature. As they felt it was unclear when a message was fully encrypted ( signal message ) and when it wasnt ( text /RCS message ).

I don’t think there’s a privacy friendly chat app that also does RCS.

How do you mean merge?

It’s basically another messenger.

Signal is a great app to replace your messenger with. Keep in mind that it doesn’t save whatever media you post there in your gallery.

Matrix is another solution, but you’d have to self host that. I have no experience with it.

Threema is a swiss app which I think was pretty privacy respecting as well? It doesn’t use phone numbers either IIRC.
