  • Ubuntu is based on Debian, by the nature of that it will have more things than Debian.

    Ubuntu generally has more cutting Edge features and tools by the nature of what it is, but the company supporting it also is pushing snap files for compatability containers which may or may not be your cup of tea.

    Debians official packages can sometimes be a tad older since their ideology is stability over everything else.

    A popular hypervisor distro proxmox uses Debian as the base for it’s great stability.


  • I think you misunderstood what’s happening here. The steam client was historically 32 bit but now will only be 64bit.

    Everything 32 bit runs on 64 bit systems, but 64 bit apps won’t work on 32 bit systems.

    Windows started supporting 64 bit in 2001, and really any modern game is probably 64 bit already since 32 bit applications can’t address more than 4gb of RAM (not that anyone can afford more than that right now)

    To me I’m shocked anyone at all is on a 32 bit os, phones don’t even really have 32 bit anymore and in the world of personal computers it would be more work to find 32 bit hardware than 64 bit hardware.

    Most likely that 0.1% will just have to wipe their computers and install 64 bit windows which their hardware probably supports already and they somehow accidentally installed the 32 bit option.




  • The psvr2 has native support on windows (and maybe Linux). You can just get the adapter and download Sony’s official tool from the steam store.

    When WMR ended I got a cheap used psvr2 and the adapter and use it to play any vr game on my PC (no PlayStation so I can’t play PlayStation vr games though).


  • Honestly the best thing to do is just start trying things and don’t only rely on your own stuff until you have a good understanding.

    Just get an old computer and install an os you want to learn, worst case you break it and reinstall.

    I suggest proxmox since you can lean on community scripts and can backup and restore any containers pretty easily if needed.

    But as with anything don’t go in expecting to be perfect, just get started, break some eggs and learn from mistakes. You will learn what you like about it, what you would change and you can burn it all down and start again if you want as well.
