- Comment on What should I replace the GTX 1080s in my server with? 1 week ago:
I second (third) an Intel ARC card. For the tasks you’ve named it doesn’t even really matter which one, even the smallest one is a transcoding powerhouse, doing multiple 4K transcodes with HDR tone mapping with ease.
Additionally, Intel drivers are wayyy better on Linux (TrueNAS) than Nvidia’s. Don’t even need to install them. I would go with any one you can get for a decent price, so probably the small A310. It doesn’t even need extra power. Sips like 30W or so.
If you want an upgrade still, A750s are also reasonably priced on the used market. Don’t get the A380 over the A310 unless they’re the same price. They perform almost identical and the 380 draws more power. Does also have more vram though, if you need that for immich.And stay clear from AMD cards. They’re the goat for linux gaming but their video encoders are notably inferior to the other two. Not what you want for Jellyfin.
- Comment on 8BitDo’s wireless remake of the Nintendo 64 controller is now available 1 year ago:
8bitDo‘s controllers are totally awesome, especially for the price. If I ever need a new controller (aka whence my XBox One Controllers break), 8bitDo is definitely the way to go.
- Comment on Sorry, Mario, but the software is in a different architecture. 1 year ago:
Framework stepping into the ARM market would be great. While I personally like Apple’s hardware, I love Frameworks philosophy.
I have to disagree on one point of your Asahi assessment though: While the old lead dev has stepped down, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The remaining team has since restructured and is focusing heavily on reducing those maintenance difficulties, besides working on support beyond M2.

Have you looked at an M1 or M2 MacBook with Fedora Asahi Remix (or the Asahi Linux project in general)?
