Microsoft wants to update your Windows 11 PC without forcing you to reboot
(www.windowscentral.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Had a movie stop playing the other week (I use my PC as a Jellyfin server and watch on a Nvidia Shield in another room). I thought something had crashed, but when I went upstairs to check, it had realised nobody was watching it and fucking rebooted.
you should probably use a different operating system if you use it as a server
If it was only used as a server, then I would. But it isn't, so I don't.
I use a Manjaro box to game on. And video edit with davinci resolve. And so everything else that I do. Truenas for my NAS.
It's really not a good idea to have a home server you don't update, assuming it's accessible outside your network.
Windows updates suck, but they can be delayed to only take place every 6-8 weeks.
that wasn't what I was saying
They are probably using their main desktop as their jellyfin server.
Linux. Bsd. Etc.
Pure curiosity, I don't own VR gear, does the Linux steam version not have VR?
A Steamlink app was added to the Meta store recently. It supposedly allows playing streamed desktop VR. I have been meaning to try it with Steam on my Linux desktop, so I can't really vouch for it yet, it could just not work. And who knows if Proton works for any specific VR games.
