  • Do you have any idea what the cost is to restore 50 TB from that?

    I assumed you’re only paying per GB storage. At least that’s what their S3 pricing page says. I believe transfer cost only applies if you transfer from one S3 solution to another. I’m not using it myself, so I don’t know the details. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

    What happens when they decide to raise the price?

    If you depend on AWS you’re doing something wrong. You should at least adher to the 3-2-1 backup plan. If you do so, you can switch away from AWS any time they change their policy.

















  • Thanks for sharing your experience. But I don’t share that. All of my devices and games run perfectly well out of the box. Heavily modded or not. On stock Ubuntu it doesn’t. Nothing else to say.

    Everyone who says Windows is a viable alternative as a daily driver for things other than using Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel is just delusional.

    Thanks for bringing that up too. Because this is another prime example of popular software not running well on Linux. I’m not using that software though. I mostly just use the browser features of my Nextcloud instance for that. But browsers work just fine on Windows. Right… not even that works on Linux properly. Try watching DRM content on Firefox Linux or getting the hardware acceleration to work.

    Nah man. I’m not a beginner with Linux. I’m using Ubuntu Server for hosting multiple docker images, a webserver, a Nextcloud, a professional Minecraft server. But I’m not using Linux Desktop anymore. If I need Linux for something terminal-related like easy ssh access to my server or git, then I’ll just boot up a subsystem on Windows.


  • Delusional.

    I’ve been using Linux for over 10 years for work and dev. But for gaming it’s still absolute dogshit. You need to constantly tinker to get shit to work.

    • Even Minecraft, which is just Java, runs at 20% less FPS than on Windows, constant stutters and screen tearing that Vsync won’t fix.
    • And then there is all of the RTX raytraced games that are broken or have considerably worse performance. - What about 5.1 surround speakers that work out of the box but will not work on Linux. I tried every driver and every tinker. So I can basically enjoy my game without sound, because my Razer headset also won’t connect automatically on boot. I have to unplug the dongle every single time.
    • Ah yes, forgot about all of the Anticheat games. Nope, stop blaming it on the game devs. As an end-user, I don’t care about that.
    • Then what about my Logitec mouse and keyboard and Corsair RGB? Can’t configure that either.

    So this basically leaves me with half of my game library than on Windows, half of my gaming hardware, no sound, and a worse performance even in Minecraft.

    Everyone who says Linux is a viable alternative as a daily driver for things other than software dev or sys admin is just delusional.
