I ended up making the choice to just avoid the games that don’t work under Linux. They seem to all be almost exclusively AAA twitch shooters that require far too much from me as a player anyway.
The only way I can vote on the topic is with my wallet.
ProxMox is what’s known as a HyperVisor or Virtual Machine. The general concept is that each element in ProxMox is an entire operating system, with each service configured in those operating systems. This requires maintaining and configuring an operating system for each service you want to run, or if you install multiple services in a singe host node, you’re back to the config conficts that we’re trying to avoid in the first place.
Docker’s approach is different. With Docker, You can use any host, including a daily desktop OS with many sort of half-VMs that only have access to specific parts of the system as defined in the Docker configuration. For instance, if you just need a service that handles chat, it doesn’t need to access much outside its own data and a port to access the internet. So instead of needing to manage the OS and the service, you’re left with just the service.
Another major boon is that it’s very easy to simply turn them off and back on and have them revert to their working state. If you really manage to screw up a configuration, no more digging through the OS to try and figure out what you can and can’t delete. You just nuke the system and try again. Outside writing the changes, it takes just a few seconds to reboot the service.
And one last bonus is that again, it’s very portable when using Docker Compose. Docker Compose takes this a step further and lets you configure the entire service through a single config file. You can put together multi-service database applications with a copy-paste and a few changes to the config. Absolutely massive time saver for people like me who are terrible at managing database applications, but really enjoy the benefits of them.
I used to do the VM approach, but having one script to one service works way better for me personally.
I’ve dabbled in it for a couple years, but this was my first year embracing docker. I now run way more services than I ever have before and don’t shy away from testing new ones out.
I went from someone who avoided new installs at all costs due to the litany of things that could go off the rails to someone who can find a new piece of software and have it running the same afternoon.
It also allows me to do a bunch of testing with a piece of software at home, then just copy and modify the config at work without having to waste precious time setting things up.
I know not everyone is a fan, but my god it’s useful.
What doesn’t make any sense is that I’m running Bazzite which should be super optimized. I made a whole long post about it here: https://lemmy.world/post/40074859
I’ve been running into a slew of performance issues on Linux with my 4070 across a range of games that all ran fine under Windows. I’ve been tempted to trade for the AMD equivalent just so I don’t have to deal with more nVidia driver nonsense. My roommate has an AMD card that I’ll be doing a trial run on later this week. Depending on how that goes, I might finally make the switch to Red Team.
What’s worked for me is taking things I enjoy as a consumer (computers, music, movies, etc) and trying to learn how to make those things for myself or at least learn more about how they’re made. It gives you amazing amounts of insight into what it takes to get those results and why you might specifically like them.
For computers, learning programming at the low level like a Commodore 64 or similar will help wrap your mind around how modern computers do things.
For music, learning even the basics of making your own will help you pick up on things in your favorite songs that you never noticed before.
For movies, diving into behind-the-scenes material and watching some plot theory channels like Every Frame A Painting or Lessons from the Screenplay will help you catch more intricate and subtle plot elements like foreshadowing that you might not have caught onto.

In that case, based on the roughly 1.5 billion Windows users, that’ll only affect a mere 75 million users for a feature that’s been there since Windows 95.
If they were using that data, then they would have included features people actually use in 10. Or maybe they’re just doing the inverse of whatever the data suggests.
Microsoft applied a data-driven approach to find out which features to add now, which features to add later, and which to completely avoid.
WHAT DATA?!
I’ve got a third leg. And it’s looking to kick your ass
Sounds like something he’d say.

Hmm. You might be onto something…
This and presentation. A stack of movies on the floor? Hoard. All your movies on a display shelf? Collection.
This feels like something straight out of Sorry to Bother You
accusing Sony of trying to monopolise a part of popular culture
Ah yes, the shared cultural heritage of robotic dinosaurs in a post apocalypse. I remember the stories we all shared around the campfire growing up.
This made me feel a bit dizzy reading that.
