Been thinking themes more recently though. WolvesDen for my server, thinking of expanding on that some.

That's unfortunate, it really does run well on Steam Deck. I'm dealing with my own NVIDIA issues trying to get hardware acceleration and it's not been fun at all.
I cannot say that I love Linux, in fact it annoys me daily lol. I want things to just work and itends up wasting tons of my time to get only part of the functionality I was hoping for. The Steam Deck has been great, though my media server at times has made me wish I never wanted to self-host in the first place lol. (been kicking around various attempts at varying levels of success since 2017). From here, tl;Dr I am very stupid, I'm well aware, but also why is Linux so complicated? It seems counterproductive to need to be so heavily invested in something when it's goal is to keep you more hands off so you can focus on other tasks?
I feel like a broken record but I really want some medium between having full control over my OS and things just working. It doesn't help that there's OS specific syntax making anything outside of official documentation a hail mary. I've no love for Windows either but I've only been limited by it a couple times and I just wish I could say the same for Linux.
Of course, the limitations I've reached through Linux are entirely my own incapabilities, but that's kind of my issue? It seems redundant to have to know the entire ins and outs of it when the point of getting these tools to exist was to mitigate our tasks? I make music, art, I wrote and have a bunch of tech hobbies. I've spent time learning, but goddamn I just don't have the time and as time from the server hobby passes and I'm basically starting fresh. I just want some inbetween from needing to know the entirety of my OS and being locked out of it. It just seems that this hobby more than others, at least for me, needs to have the most consistency while having the least consistent sources of information due to immense level of knowledge that there is as well as the fragmented nature of each distribution.
On another note, I find it amazing how much easier Docker and its tools are in Linux than it is for Windows. Now that's funny! And it seems poignant to your issue as well... Some software is made for certain things, and translating that can throw a wrench in things. Docker on Windows, like NVIDIA on Linux, just weren't made with each other fully in mind and as a result have been made to retroactively "work".
Which is really too bad. It's pretty unlikely that something like Rocksmith2014 will ever work smoothly out of the box in Linux - it can be made to work with lots of work but... You can also just dual boot windows. Unless you're extremely familiar with the OS, chances seem high that the entire process of downloading and installing Windows then downloading and installing RS2014 will take less than 1/3rd of the time.
That's what's messed up about data, is technically the answer to your question is neither! What happens to your ownership of those downloads when your hard drive with no backup does? In that sense, a license tied to should be the safest method, but it's far from it thanks to our current practices.
But I agree with you of course, our control of our files on our hard drives indicate that we have more ownership over them.
Personally, the one thing the U.S. somewhat has right so far is we are somewhat legally allowed to format shift (within reason, stupidly but alas). Currently I can purchase any Nintendo game, decide I do not want to play it on any Nintendo console and it's within my rights to do everything short of redistribution to play that software on my PC.
Someone the other day asked if it's "pirating" to acquire a licensed title they purchased on Vudu. In my opinion, no because it's just format shifting - now, the T.O.S. may say otherwise but T.O.S. also isn't law so then it's a different issue. Vudu can say that you are only allowed to play your purchases through their website that harvests your data, which you signed when you created your account.
Still, fuck that noise. If I am purchasing something that means I expect to be able to use it no matter the surrounding circumstances. That means if my Internet is offline I can still view my content. That means if Vudu kicks the bucket I am unaffected.
Until services start giving me this option, I will continue to format shift my content. I store things for posterity and then watch on the service to support them. I want more super hero stories, so I will watch on HBO and D+. I want more IASIP, so I will watch on Hulu. But you damn better be sure I have them backed up for myself because I'm not paying $x/month to watch these forever.
Whether or not its within my rights to format shift this way I don't really care, I am only format shifting because history has shown we cannot trust media to stay online and unedited.
Example: currently made bluray/DVDs of IASIP also remove episodes. Not for me.
For the shortcut make sure it's outside of the quotes and it's double hyphen
"C:/your/game/path" --vr
Unfortunately I can't help more than that for this, but hopefully it's enough!
The only DMCA I've ever received was also from Transformers. Wtf Universal lol.
The VR version no less! You literally can't even buy it!
Especially since you can log in with your piped information. Stellar!
It's $18 on iOS. My partner pretty much only uses YT and still can't justify paying that much for it.
Ahh makes sense I see. It may serve the same purpose just with a little more overhead
VLC was invented to screen share video from a host computer to a group call? TIL
As far as movies, paying for a couple of streaming services is way easier than delving through scummy torrent sites waiting for movies to download.
That's all well and good until you basically start google searching whatever you want to watch to see which subscription it's on. Super Mario Movie? Not HBO or Netflix, it's on Peacock. Snowpiercer (show)? Not streaming on any service anymore.
At a certain point having it available is more convenient than paying 5 different subscriptions to see which has what.
Also it can be very easy to automate this so you don't even have to search anymore. You just put in the name and it does it for ya!
You'll want a PC capable of running Stable Diffusion, yeah.
The tradeoff is Adobe servers running it with their limitations or you running it locally, the former is possible but requires a lot more workarounds than just having a version of photoshop that supports plugins you want.
~~I'm currently having a dumb issue if you'd happen to have some insight. I have windscribe. I'm using linux (debian). I installed the Windscribe package from the site and I have the same GUI I'm used to from Windows.~~
~~When I connect to my static IP, my ethernet IP doesn't change.~~
~~How do I ensure that I'm on my static IP in Linux so that I can actually use port-forwarding? Because at the moment I cannot turn on my VPN and have Plex, Overseer, any containers accessible outside my network. I can only see them on localhost. Eventually I'd like to get a domain redirect, but that's a separate issue that will be easier once I have a solid answer on getting my VPN always on and split tunneling in it set up properly.~~
~~I'm losing my shit here cause I can't find anything about this dumb problem online and it's such a simple thing that I'm used to just working lol.~~
Leaving that for posterity. I reread your comment. Their Linux app so looks to be parity equivalent with Windows, I believe both use your account online to set up port forwarding. However CLI Windscribe I believe is missing the option. But in any case, what you said my be related to the issue I'm having.
Anyway, fully +1 on Windscribe. I've been using them for years and they've always been quite to respond, transparent with what they've been served, and were active online on forums. Used a +50 code for quite some time and finally wanted unlimited and port-forwarding so I bought a sub and a static IP. Seems well priced as well, I'm paying about $25/year I think.
