I run a nh-d15 on a 5800x. It's expensive, but I have to say at least on the 5800x it can cool the CPU so well that it never gets loud. At most I get a slight noise of air moving.

if you are having weird bugs when playing via Proton, report the issue on the Proton GitHub page. If it's a graphical glitch you can also report it to proton-vkd3d or DXVK depending on which one is being used by the game. If unsure just report it only to Proton.
The Proton developers and the developers of associated projects (DXVK, vkd3d, etc) will often add workarounds into the various parts of the Proton platform to get a game to work correctly, even if the problem you are seeing is a game bug or driver bug.
Compatibility with old games on linux is great, much better than it is for newer games. Those 2010 and earlier (all the way back to windows 95 or so) games that have trouble on Windows 10 generally work better on Linux than on Windows 10.
For dos games you'd use dosbox on both Windows and Linux so the experience is mostly identical.
You also get quality of life stuff such as: if a game starts at 640x480 on your 4k monitor, it doesn't change your desktop resolution to 640x480, it just gets scaled up to the full screen.
Specifically check out the Lutris software: it has integrations to install and run your old games from GOG or the original discs onto Linux.
Check out distrobox. It's a way to have a Ubuntu (or any other Linux distro) container and allows you to install Ubuntu packages, even desktop applications.
It works great for when you need to install a random .deb file or follow a very Ubuntu specific step by step procedure. I use it exactly for this kind of stuff.
No rebooting needed, integrates fully with the host system, no virtual machine either.
DLSS works fine on Linux, but I don't know about frame generation and ray reconstruction specifically. It could be those two don't work yet.
Yes, this game is like that. This game also has more in depth simulation and mechanics, but it's way less accessible.
One major difference is that RimWorld has a narrator AI that will make up events for your colony to experience, while dwarf fortress tries to simulate a world and the events are most of the time the result of the world simulation.
This makes RimWorld more gamey, meaning dwarf fortress can kind of get stuck in weird or bad situations, and men in black won't magically show up to save your colony. But for many players that's part of the charm!
That's true, but some system level changes by default can't be done because most system folders are read only. It's trivial to turn this off, however a steam os update would overwrite any changes made.
For installing new apps this is not an issue because Steam os is designed with flatpak support, so if an app is shipped as flatpak (or appimage which is just a single file you can execute) then it can be used without making the system folders writeable
However in this case, it's about the nix package manager which needs access to specific system folders to not just install packages (which can be apps or system stuff) but also to apply changes to the system configuration
It's really nice that a valve developer is taking the extra steps to make sure nix can be used out of the box. I don't really understand why they are doing this, I think it's just because they think it's cool and some users are going to appreciate it.
I have the same setup, but I am using the flatpak version of syncthing. It can run a daemon just fine, however I am running a user systems service. Works great and starts automatically in both desktop and game modes
I have been using for years on servers. My lemmy instance is hosted on it.
Although for desktop I had too many issues back in 2019 so I ended up back to Arch Linux and then EndeavourOS
Would be fun to try again to use it on desktop
I also run a self hosted instance so I would be interested in a bot that stays subscribed to communities I want "synced" into my instance without me also being subscribed
Haha! I don't think I can moderate and run such a community. Also my instance here for Lemmy is something I spun up for personal use given I like to self host stuff as a hobby, and I don't think it would work well as a home for a community.
However I saw someone made a new tool to explore the "lemmyverse" at https://lemmyverse.net and using it I found there is an existing community for dwarf fortress that seems a lot more seriously set up than mine would be: https://lemmy.ml/c/dwarffortress
I subscribed! Last time I searched there wasn't one but maybe I just had to use a tool like this lemmyverse site that collects data about all communities across instances.
