I am aware of the switches you can pass to each app to make it use native wayland, but is there any way to do it globally?

I mean, the title really says it all. It occurs seemingly at random, but not all the time and I've been unable to determine any pattern to it... I'm using the latest proton stable version and pipewire-pulse for audio. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Due to unfortunate circumstances (me dropping the laptop) I have now ended up with a half broken laptop that has a broken screen and a dying battery. I could repair it, however, I don't wanna bother as I'm very likely gonna be getting a new one soon.

The laptop itself still works fine, however the broken screen and dying battery make it pretty much useless as a laptop and I already have a home lab NAS thing, so I'm kinda out of ideas on what to do with it. Any ideas?

Here are the specs:

CPU: i5-8300h

GPU: intel HD830/GTX1050ti

RAM: 16GB

Storage: 128GB SSD

I have recently setup a system with TrueNAS scale and while it's been mostly smooth sailing (lies), I can't figure out why TrueNAS itself cannot connect to virtual machines and vice versa, which kinda sucks for me as I have a wireguard server setup on a virtual machine, which works but clients connecting to it cannot connect to anything hosted on the host itself...

(And the whole reason I have wireguard setup like this is because I couldn't figure out how to setup the wg-quick app, it just refuses to work for unknown to me reasons... and by "work" I mean that the WG clients just cannot connect to it, the webui itself works).

The VMs are set with Virtio as their NIC and truenas itself is set to a static IP and can connect to everything else...

Any help would be appreciated...

[SOLUTION]

This is gonna be a quick overview on how to fix this issue, as it seems to be fairly common. You can find more detailed instructions here: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/truenas-scale-ultimate-home-setup-incl-tailscale/186444

Scroll down to the section titled “Oh but wait”

Note: This problem cannot be fixed through neither the webui, web shell, nor SSH, you need to have physical access to the machine, a display adapter and a monitor to display the TUI on.

1. From the cli menu, go to "Configure network interfaces"

2. Remove DHCP/Any other static alias you have on your main interface by either pressing delete on it or by manually going to it and deleting it, just leave the alias field blank and ipv4_dhcp to "No", then click on Save

3. Create a new interface by bressing "n", select type 'BRIDGE", set name to "br0" (without the quotes) and either enable DHCP or add the IP alias that you previously removed from your main interface as an alias here and click on Save

4. Back on the main "Configure network interfaces screen" press "a" to save changes, then "p" to make them permanent (again without the quotes).

5. At this point, your network should drop out and you shouldn't be able to connect to the WebUI. Reboot the system and everything should work properly again!

6. That's it! Problem solved. Now you should go and change the NICs of the VMs to use the new br0 and they should able to connect to the truenas host just fine.

I've been trying to setup pivpn on alpine, but it keeps complaining about some iptables rules not being set, requiring me to run pivpn -d each time the system is started to fix it...

I don't get it, every post here that isn't about Linux or some serious topic seems to get downvoted to hell.

I like Linux as much as the next guy, but c'mon, not everything here has to be about it or serious topics...

I recently got a few (5) hard drives to turn my home server into a NAS with trueNAS scale and my idea is to have 4 usable and 1 for redundancy, my question is... How does RAID work, like what is RAID 0, RAID 5, software RAID etc, and does any of that even matter for my use case?

I've got a Dell G3 3579 that's in a dire need of a battery and a bottom panel replacement. I've thought of buying them off aliexpress, but I'm a bit skeptical of it... So ig my question is whether it's OK to buy stuff like replacement laptop batteries off aliexpress.

E: I've checked, amazon does not ship to my country... I'm also technically asking if anyone knows any trusted good replacement battery manufacturers that I should look for...

Recently, I've been wanting to make a custom live iso with a couple of tools that I need but I really don't know where to start or what to do... any help?

E: I didn't phrase my post correctly, I need a portable set of desktop tools for development, running on the gnome desktop

I've had a "home lab server" for a while now, it's nothing special but I think I can do more with it, I just don't know what to do with it... I currently use it just for a pihole and (sometimes) a Minecraft server or a web server... I used to also have a nexcloud and a searxng instance (which I will probably bring back)... Any ideas for other things I can run on it?
