Ooh, that is a good price. I was going to wait to see if they did a revision to the hardware but I am tempted now.

Anbernic release so many handhelds and the price tends to come down a couple months after release. Maybe the SP will get there? I got a 35xxh a little while back from a UK eBay seller for about £40 if memory serves. On the other hand I imagine the SP has been super popular so who can say.

Adding to the Docker chorus. I started using Docker before even using the command line. My route in was to use Unraid but that may not be best for you. I use Portainer in another install but I think the way it handles storage is a bit obtuse. In any case, as many others have said, using Docker is a piece of cake once you understand the basic ideas. Those being that a container is like a portable self contained machine that runs a specific service and any persistent storage needs to be outside the container. Containers are always my first idea when running a service as you know they will work on your system, you don't have to worry that there will be conflicts or whatever.

You think you know how dumb someone is, but they can always surprise you.

Well that opened up a memory. I don't think I ever managed to type. It all in, and if I did it probably got corrupted on my crappy tape recorder, but I remember going over the Silver Mountain one many times. Thank you.

I have lost count of the number of times I have watched this.

YMMV of course but I was playing Timberborn just the other day on Mint, on an Nvidia card, through Heroic. Proton seems to have been a gamechanger. I have just made my first steps into switching my daily driver myself. I may have been lucky but all the games I have wanted to play have worked so far. I also have a Steam Deck, which is what has encouraged me that it may be possible.

Agreed. It is difficult to recommend in some ways because I didn't find it all that engaging at first. The gameplay was interesting but didn't massively hook me.

I second containers. I use Unraid and have found it pretty simple to get started. At one point I was using a vm on unraid as my gaming machine, although I have moved away from that and now have a low power Unraid server for hosting.

Well I learned a new word today, thank you.

I absolutely love these writeups. They are well written, funny, and the almighty Speccy always does well. Thank you!

Outer Wilds. Yeah, you've probably all played it, but if you haven't, please do and let the rest of us watch. It is very special.
