I like tofi as a wayland alternative. Unfortunately like so many of these projects it seems to be somewhat recently unmaintained.

Does Bazzite use a gamescope session on wayland by default? Gamescope has a bug which prevents the wayland client from drawing the steam overlay. I suppose it’s unlikely to be the same issue but I happen to be dealing with it on my system (not Bazzite) so I immediately made the connection.
Nextcloud AIO is not the only way to run Nextcloud in docker. For example you can use the Nextcloud docker repository and docker-compose for which there are many examples. I’ve been running Nextcloud this way for many years now without any un-recoverable issues, and no issues at all that weren’t caused by me. Upgrading is also very easy since you simply increment the version in docker-compose.yml and restart the service.
That said the NixOS suggestion from @StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.sdf.org looks really neat and I may try that out soon my self since I’ve never played with NixOS before and it seems like a good excuse to do so.
But can it sneekily destroy the cables under my desk? And does it sometimes just stop and look at you to think “I could destroy you… if only I was a little bit bigger”.
Is it on a tty in embedded mode? If so does switching ttys using CTRL+ALT+F{1…10} work? Usually the display manager is on F1 or F7. If it’s not in embedded mode, does Left Alt + Enter work?
EDIT: Re-read and realized I didn’t understand completely. You’re starting it with your display manager. I’m not sure how you would kill it in that case.
I think this one https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/5369 is probably the more relevant, and also open, issue. However even in that issue people claim you can choose not to. The argument is only that it suggests restarting explorer and also rebooting and that this is annoying. So you never get a prompt, it just dies?
I agree though that the amount of time where it was force rebooting is pretty bad, and it looks like the rollout of the patch was mishandled. I also should probably admit that I’ve never touched the windows client, my environment is entirely Linux and Android. The Linux client even with file manager integration doesn’t require restarts of anything.
I mentioned the client in there (4th paragraph), but mine was more of a general rant on the overall low effort that seems to have been put in to figuring out what the actual problem was. And that it is relatively common among people in the self hosting community to assume that Nextcloud is a lot simpler than it is. It’s a huge cloud suite consisting of many applications, clients, plugins, proxies, caching, database, etc. You need to have a pretty good understanding of how it all works, and how to investigate a problem, and ideally you should be testing before upgrades. Large organizations often even test endpoint applications like the desktop client and push out only tested versions to users via policy or some kind of endpoint management.
I can’t really draw many conclusions from the very little information provided in this post, but I suspect OPs windows machine is not in an entirely stable state, which is what is causing some of these update issues.
And, I put some of the blame for Nextcloud under-representing it’s complexity on Nextcloud’s marketing and AIO. You absolutely can install it without understanding anything, and that’s a little dangerous in my opinion because it is actually quite complex and you will probably end up breaking it at some point and need to dig in to fix it.
Ok, I’m prepared to be downvoted today so here goes.
Nextcloud is an enterprise cloud suite. The one you run in docker on your rpi (or whatever) is the same one that is run at a company, albeit with more high availability and redundancy, but the same application, proxies, caching, db, etc. Nothing is stopping you from running the stable channel and testing your upgrades, or even rolling out specific stable client versions to your devices.
Said companies often have teams (more than one person) to run it, stage upgrades, automated testing, automated backups, monitoring, etc. They go to work and do just that, maybe not every day but at least a couple times a week their focus is Nextcloud and only Nextcloud.
What many people in the self hosting community do is spin up docker, without ever having touched docker before, and try to run Nextcloud, forget that it exists, and then upgrade it a year later across multiple versions without maintaining the database. Then they obsess about how fast an app loads by refreshing it a whole bunch, and then complain on internet forums that it sucks. This, like many posts, doesn’t have a specific problem for us to help with, no logs or stack traces have been posted, and the subject of the complaint shows just how terrible your understanding of application security is.
So, while there is legitimate criticism of some of Nextcloud’s design choices, this isn’t it. And at the risk of sounding a little gatekeepy, if you post “nextcloud updates break everything” with no context you probably should spend some time gaining a better understanding of how internet facing services work and make an attempt to fix the problem (probably misconfiguration, and in this desktop client case probably a heap of un-updated local software installed alongside the client), which I’m sure people would find if they did the bare minimum of reading a few log files or any of the other things that come with being an application admin.
It requires a login to use it…
I don’t think AC is ever going to work without some workarounds to get it to start. AFAIK the only one required right now for vanilla AC is protontricks 244210 dotnet472 corefonts
and then I think it will start. GE might implement a fix for that I guess but honestly the vanilla game isn’t worth playing without content manager at this point and that’s a whole multi-step process to install inside the wine prefix and in the game root outside of steam, and not something GE can do anything about.
Anyway the process is much simpler than it used to be. Here’s my notes from last time I did it about a month ago or so. I race (badly) in AC pretty much daily.
Install game
select GE-Proton8-25 (get it from github if you don't have it)
run game and let it crash (takes like 15 minutes)
protontricks 244210 dotnet472 corefonts (about 20 minutes)
add fonts from here https://files.acstuff.ru/shared/T0Zj/fonts.zip (readme)
Install Content Manager in .steam/root/steamapps/common/assettocorsa/
set launch options to c="%command%";sh -c "${c::-17}Content Manager Safe.exe'"
mkdir -p $HOME/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/244210/pfx/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/config
ln -s $HOME/.steam/root/config/loginusers.vdf $HOME/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/244210/pfx/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/config/loginusers.vdf
protontricks 244210 winecfg, then add library override for dwrite.dll (native, builtin)
Run game, will launch CM
echo 'Z:\home\'$USER'\.steam\root\steamapps\common\assettocorsa' then paste that in the AC location when prompted
install your key for the full version
install CSP, then upgrade to 0.2.2 (will say Can't find INIReader::cache when launching if you don't), then upgrade to the preview if you want.
install anything else you want like SoL, pure, etc.
Drive!
I’m currently running AC in GE-Proton8-25… a little out of the loop I guess, what is broken?
This is… exactly my setup too. Works great. The brio is a tiny bit weird in that it appears as two independent video devices in Linux, but choosing the right one is all that’s necessary and it works fine.
Are they using vulkan natively (not dxvk through wine)? I posted about this when running the experimental vulkan support on BeamNG.drive https://www.beamng.com/threads/vulkan-api-–-feedback-known-issues-and-faq.79967/page-12#post-1617244. Looks to be very similar maybe?
My OS details are in that post but also here:
OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.1.39-1-lts
Resolution: 3840x1600
WM: sway
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X (32) @ 3.400GHz
GPU: AMD ATI Radeon PRO W6800
Memory: 64209MiB
All other games, even ones that use vulkan, work fine for me, it’s just BeamNG.drive
EDIT: well, I’m not on 6.1.39 anymore… I have obviously updated since that post, but the rest is the same…
I’ll be honest, I did not expect to ever hear another person mention Foobar2000 ever again. And now to learn they have an android app!!! Hmm, may have to use that for a bit just for nostalgia sake.
The pricing is reasonable though
Nextcloud is free unless you are a business choosing to pay for support or you pay a hosting provider. It costs nothing to run it on your own hardware. Also if you are interested in self hosting and would like to really put in the work to understand it the easiest place to start in my opinion is the docker examples, especially the docker-compose examples.
That said, make sure you have backups. Nextcloud is a massively complex application which does all the basic stuff pretty well, but you are the responsible person if it breaks. It’s far far from set-it-and-forget-it software.
I also use Vimeo for videos I can’t send directly to people or host my self. For example if I post a FreeCAD howto I put it there so I can link to it from comments and stuff and I know everyone will be able to play it. While it’s not open source, It’s really pretty great as an alternative platform with all the youtube like features and more (you can change your video title if you make a mistake for example).
I have a whole Linux machine with a bunch of displays, 16 cores, tons of memory, powerful GPU, and an internet connection. And I still have a TI-84Plus sitting on my desk which I use for all my calculator needs… It’s just easier.
Not sure why all the downvotes, I use the note to self function for exactly this type of thing all the time. Though to be fair signal is both on my phone and on my computer basically all the time because I use it to talk to everyone too…
EDIT: oh, it’s downvoted because this is the selfhosted community…
We are in a weird state it seems where some stuff requires amdvlk and some stuff requires that amdvlk not be installed… Like the latest gamescope doesn’t work for me when it’s installed unless you explicitly set the AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV
env var but raytracinginvulkan requires the amdvlk package since it’s not as mature of a project and makes too many assumptions.
Or add EA anti-cheat 6 months after release like they did for EA WRC.
