Not in general. Typically, games with kernel level drm or anticheat just didn’t work at all.
Borderlands 2 specifically has a native Linux version though, and it may or may not abuse this fact. It isn’t run in a sandbox-like environment like Windows games that run through proton, but according to protondb it does run through proton? In any case yes, it’s probably better than running it on Windows.
Absolute zero issues with netcup (EU/de). Also comparatively cheap usually, and has frequent sales (always the same offers, afaict).
DNS is included with Domains, but I’m using desec.io as my DNS mainly for full dnssec compliance (free, de based, if registrations are open, works with certbot DNS challenge for letsencrypt).
This comes at the perfect time. I was thinking I’d have to find out how to run modloaders or managers on Linux, but I guess I got my answer right here. Thanks for posting!
Had this open for a while now as the most recent tab I didn’t close. For the record there are 64 open tabs, this is just the most recent one.
Was gonna look into analytics and monitoring of opnsense, and because if I bookmark it I just forget about it, there’s a tab open. The other 63 tabs have a similar history…
I disagree with those saying that you can’t do a build for that budget, but I would suggest looking into used parts, at least for some things, to improve the result significantly.
Since your system goal doesn’t seem to be storage related, as nextcloud includes storage obviously, but typically isn’t used to house multi-terabyte data sets. So assuming you can make that work for the “future homelab projects” to with dual 500gig NVME as storage. Search for a used mITX board+CPU that can accommodate that (has the slots), and go from there. Things like CPU cooler, if not part of a possible mainboard+CPU bundle, should be selected after the case at that is the limiting factor for it. Didn’t skimp on RAM size if you can (new or used is fine, depends what you can get in your area).
With this list you’re basically done to get it up and running.
No of course not, but if it’s run under proton/wine it doesn’t even have access to any normal files. When it’s run natively it does (documents and all that). I’m not saying it’s doing anything with this, or even that it would make sense.
