Looking for testers: LinuxPlay, a fully tunable ultra-low-latency remote desktop

I’ve been working on LinuxPlay for a while now, an open-source remote desktop and game streaming stack built from scratch for Linux.

Everything is configurable, from codec and encoder to bitrate, QP, GOP, tune, preset, and buffers.

It supports multiple monitors, controller input, clipboard sync, and drag-and-drop file upload.

Video, audio, and input all run over UDP, with TCP used only for the initial handshake.

It automatically adjusts between LAN and Wi-Fi, includes heartbeat recovery, a stats overlay, and an ultra mode (LAN only) that can reach sub-frame latency.

Looking for testers to try it, stress it, and share how it performs on your setup or GPU.

Is it advisable to partition a single flash drive into two parts -> One for an OS install and the other to hold a Timeshift snapshot?

I know that eventually I will break the system and will want to do a clean install. I thought it would be convenient to have a single flash drive which I can do a complete clean install off of AND THEN use Timeshift to restore a snapshot that is stored on another part of the flash drive.

It would be easier to just have two separate flash drives, one for the Debian OS install and the other for the timeshift snapshot but wondering if it's possible to just use one flash drive.

Migrating and partitioning

Windows 10 support is coming to an end and frankly I'm sick of the anti user direction of the OS so I've made the desicion to migrate.

My only concern is that I have some software I have paid for/ used my allowance of keys for, like davinci resolve, I'd rather not them purchase again if I can avoid it. How convenient/simple would it be to partition a hard drive to keep Windows 10 just to use it. Or alternatively, would it be smoother to have a seperate hardrive dedicated to these programs?

This may be a simple question but I haven't done something like this before and some guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Linux saved my old beat up computer from Windows 11!!

I have this broken little computer, it fails every 2 windows updates. I have a new computer now, and I use that one most of the time.

I wanted to test out Linux and I remembered my old computer, so I got Linux Mint Cinnamon on it to test it out.

My computer, which came with Windows 11, had a keyboard that straight up didn't work. But I get Linux Mint and, lo and behold, the keyboard started working again! When I was in Windows 11, the keyboard wouldn't work no matter how many times I reloaded, reinstalled, and otherwise try to get the driver to work. I was going to give up on that computer but I'm really glad I didn't. Now I'm hopping between distros and messing with it.

All these new Windows updates keep trying to push AI up my nostrils and it's pissing me off so I'm probably going to switch my main computer over to Linux once I find a good distro :D

Feels like Linux actually wants me to have a customized user experience, which is nice!!!

KDE is best Desktop Environment - Change my mind

I tried variety of DEs - GNOME/Xfce/Lxde.. but KDE beats them all. Simple things like

touchpad scroll speed adjustment, - is a simple UI slider (compare that to multiple commands on terminal for GNOME)
ease of multi monitor setup,
changing the wifi band to 5GHz was as simple as a few UI clicks. (simpler than windows!)
No bloat of a "top bar" that you have to use an extension to auto hide (and is super glitchy).
Taskbar that supports clean auto hide (even windows auto hide for the task bar is jittery)
Rarely have to open terminal for doing stuff - almost everything is available in GUI configs.

It lets me focus on my work and when I do open a terminal it is for my development work - and not to fix OS stuff!

I'm never going back to any other DE.

KDE Forever!

Detect spyware

I had this friend who was obsessed with me and several times he was alone in my room with my laptop unlocked when I would go to the toilet. He's been using linux for a long time so I'm worried he quickly managed to download something in my laptop to spy on me.

VoLTE - Linux Smartphone in Germany

According to this https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/billie/

>Calling over VoLTE is not supported, please check that this is not a requirement in your country.

As far as I can tell by searching the web, VoLTE is quite necessary in Germany. 3G has been disabled in 2021, 5G is mostly available, but 4G still seems to be the standard, while 2G is for emergencies. I don't feel confident with my research though.

I mostly use Smartphones for doing calls, text messages and threema/signal/telegram and the occasional internet research (I typically use way less then 1GB data per month).

Do all mobiles use VoLTE for normal calls?
Does anybody use a linux phone in Germany and can share their experience?
