I implemented Duplicati as a fast, easy and adaptable backup solution at my workplace. It’s itself running as a docker stack on every node in the swarm. Even migration to new servers is possible, because it can restore file permissions and ownership too. Just give it access to either the volumes path of the host or just the whole host file system.

Can be accessed via web interface, password protected. I actually recommend the image by the linuxserver community instead of the “official” for a simple, no-config deployment that starts up in seconds. Just add a data volume and your host bind in your compose file and that’s pretty much it.

It is still my favorite game ever, regarding story, world-building, characters, music, graphics, quests and overall gameplay.

But it’s a bit weak on combat mechanics, there I prefer Elden Ring and Dark Souls 3.

Everything Everywhere All at Once

Yeah, this took a bit of time and patience. But now I have all the tail weapons.

Walk backwards in medium distance to trigger its flight attack where it swoops down at you. Dodge to the side, run near the tail and quickly roll underneath it, far enough to stand still on the other side for a moment. The last part is important, if done correctly, the dragon will always try to crush you with its tail. You should be near it, but not take damage. Now you can get a few easy hits on the tail.

Dark Souls: Remastered

Currently in NG+ and recording all the bosses for YouTube. This game even offers native ultrawide support! My final rating will probably be 4/5, many boss fights are just too easy, even on NG+ (except DLC).

Change is always hard, be it Windows 7 to Windows 10 or 11. The German company Tuxedo Computers has pretty nice Linux laptops for beginners and professionals, this is what made the change easier for my parents: http://tuxedocomputers.com/ They even offer RTX 4090 custom laptop builds, but for the screens they still have no OLED option when I looked the last time.

I’m so hyped!

Der Prozess (1915) by Franz Kafka, it still is relevant today.

Easily the scariest was „Amnesia: The Dark Descen“ (2010).

I did install it via package manager back when I used this distro and it worked well, but some weeks after, I switched distros to Kubuntu. Now I’m using Arch btw. with latest KDE Plasma (I recommend this).

Windows XP on a laptop. Then Windows 7 on a new laptop. After that, Windows 10 and Windows 11 on desktop and another new laptop.

Tried Debian on my laptop. Later, switched completely to Linux Mint on desktop. Distro-hopped to Kubuntu (KDE Plasma). Wanted to get Plasma 6 immediately after release, so I installed EndeavourOS on my desktop and laptop.

Now switched to pure Arch Linux on my desktop PC, didn’t boot Windows on any of my private PCs for months (no dual boot, only GPU passthrough VM).

For pirated games, I recommend Bottles installed as a flatpak. That’s because it has a per-game toggle for sandboxing the app, not giving it access to your complete home folder and optionally no network access or audio output.

Even when using trusted sources, you can never be safe enough. Bottles with sandboxing will at least protect your files from crypto trojans and prevent you from becoming part of a botnet. It should not have any impact on performance.

Visual Studio is not available on Linux and not really working in Wine, sadly. You can use IntelliJ IDEA as a good alternative, it supports Linux officially and has a Flutter plugin.

For a beginner, Linux Mint is perfect. It is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian, so you can follow most tutorials written for either distribution (like the installation instructions for IntelliJ IDEA or other software that is not available from the APT package manager).

snap instead of deb

Glad you like my recommendation! :)

I hope that too, this is by far the best player I have tried on Linux.

Have fun!
