  • Okay, your post is a bit weird, so I’ll just tell you about my setup:

    I have a custom built PC for like 4 or 5 years and have Linux on there permanently for at least 2.

    It has an AMD Ryzen 7 (AM4) CPU and a Nvidia 2060 Super.

    I often tried new distros before the final switch. In the end I chose PopOS. For me it mostly just works.

    All the core features are effectively bugless.

    Games sometimes don’t work or need a little tweak in steam, but that is like one game out of 20.

    BUT:
    I don’t play AAA games. Like ever. I played Darktide for a month maybe and “Witcher 3” butthis is the closest I got to “real” AAA games in the last 5 years.
    Indie Games nearly always “just work”.

    Few examples from the last months:

    • Deep Rock Galactic
    • Satisfactory
    • Witch It
    • Factorio Space Age
    • Cogmind
    • Dwarf Fortress
    • Ultimate Chicken Horse
    • Disco Elysium
    • The Last Journey
    • Core Keeper
    • Celeste
    • Stardew Valley

    They all ran fine. The one Issue I had was that steam didn’t show this DirectX-Popup and I thought the games didn’t start. But after that it all just worked.
    Also sometimes mods are hard. This is mostly for games I didn’t buy on steam and that have weird community-built mod managers.













  • We host a small Matrix-server. The server is for 4 people but barely uses the 2 cores 4GB RAM.

    Storage is mostly media, but stayed under 100GB in about 3 years.

    We also host a web frontend and use Schildichat as app, but Element X could be better nowadays. Both also have a desktop client.

    A big plus are all the bridges. My girlfriend uses WhatsApp, no problemo, there is a bridge for that. That one club only has a signal group? Use the bridge.
    One of us uses Fb-Messenger via a bridge. Telegram also works and there are lots more.

    The server is also low maintenance. It’s an ansible playbook, that I irregularly run.
    It takes around an hour twice a year due to changes in the playbook.

    Also matrix is feature rich beyond your requests. I don’t know much about the others, but matrix had emoji-reactions before WhatsApp and has threads inside of chatrooms and spaces which are collections of chats for common topics.
    Also polls, sharing current/live location (not bridged to WA), voice messages and stickers.





  • Okay, I cannot really help you with that, because getting Nvidia to run is hard and especially for docker it will most likely not be supported out of the box. You will probably have to install the docker drivers yourself and hope that it works. Sorry, I have an Nvidia card myself and it sucks.

    Secondly: Next time be more specific with what you want, what your hardware is and what you want to do with it, because most people (like me) could not really understand, what you meant with your initial text.
