i have a powerful desktop pc running cachyos, and i also have a very old laptop with only 4gb of ram.

i want to use my pc as a kind of personal cloud while i'm away for long trips. basically, i'd like to access my photos, movies, tv shows, music, ebooks and files remotely. i'm thinking about using things like immich, jellyfin and maybe kavita.

i don't need it to be running 24/7. i would mainly turn it on when i'm going away for 1–2 weeks, leave it running during the trip, and turn it off when i get back.

so what would you guys recommend? should i just run everything on my main cachyos pc, or should i turn the old laptop into a dedicated nas/server with something like casaos and only turn it on when i'm traveling?

is anyone using a setup like this? i'm mainly looking for the simplest and most practical solution.

Hi everyone,

I’m thinking about switching from Windows 11 to SteamOS, but I use a dual-monitor setup. Does SteamOS Gaming Mode support displaying output on two monitors, or can I only use both monitors in Desktop Mode?

Thanks.

I really wish Apple would bring back support for multiple Slide Over windows on iPad.
The new window management features are a great step forward, but only being able to have a single Slide Over window feels unnecessarily limiting. I used to love keeping multiple apps tucked away for quick access without cluttering the screen.
Has Apple said anything about this? Is there any rumor that iPadOS 27 might allow multiple Slide Over windows again, or is the feature gone for good?
I’d honestly use Slide Over a lot more if we could have more than one at a time.

I mainly care about getting the best experience for TOTK, but I’ll probably play some Mario games too. Do they also run well on the current emulators?

Also, are there any recommended settings or tweaks for an AMD-Windows system to get the best performance and stability?

Thanks

I’m planning to build a PC with a Ryzen 7 9700X and an RX 9070 XT, and I’m wondering how good the current SteamOS compatibility is with this hardware.

If I install the latest available version of SteamOS right now, am I likely to run into any issues, bugs, driver quirks, or compatibility problems?

Also, when the official public PC version of SteamOS releases, will current installations likely be upgradeable through updates, or would a clean reinstall/reset probably be required?

Thanks.
