Thank you for the video, I’ll check it out!

Which standard should I be looking into if I want a second AP/device that connects to the “main” router wirelessly, that extends the network range. I live in an apartment and can’t run Ethernet.

That’s probably what I’ll do, atleast watch and study the first one before hand and see what I’m getting myself into. And I appreciate the call out, I’ll keep that in mind that I should be open to following what someone in the party says to do instead of blindly following possibly outdated strats from early videos. I really do appreciate this community, and the FF14 community as a whole. It’s not universal, but overall it’s the most welcoming and friendly gaming community I’ve ever experienced.

Thank you for taking the time and providing some recommendations, I’ll check them both out! First one sounds perfect for me wanting to go in kind of blind, but some good puns are really tempting lol.

I really appreciate the info and perspective you and the person above you provided! I kind of want to go in blind, but probably will chicken out lol. Do either of you have recommendations for videos or guides in case I end up studying first? I plan on using Red Mage or Dancer if that factors in.

What GPU are you using? What influenced you to add “Oibaf PPA” instead of using the default built in Mesa drivers that came with Mint? No judgement, just trying to figure out what led you here, so we can unravel it. Because as the other poster mentioned, Vulkan for Amd should have worked out of the box on a fresh install.

Edit, to clarify, did you add the repo because you thought that mint didn’t have drivers and that was the way to get them? Or was there a different reason you needed to add the repo?

This documentation is for bazzite, but they have a lot of the same stack under the hood. “Broadcom’s WL driver can be installed since it is needed by some hardware. Disabled by default. Enter “just use-broadcom-wl” to use it.”. You could try to see if aurura has the same “just” options, that’s where I would first research. If not, then yeah, “rpm-ostree” would be how you install the package, just like you said, just not sure of the commands for local files. Also there is a tool to “roll your own” distro built on top of any of the ublue work, it’s basically how bazzite and aurora exist. So you can layer the packages like the other option you said. https://github.com/ublue-os/image-template

It depends on what your metrics are for energy and resources. Are you talking about the end user hardware, or are you talking about developer time and effort. If it’s the former, you’re right, if it’s the latter you’re completely wrong. And while there’s merit to your point (if it is about end user storage, energy consumption, etc), that’s not really in short supply while open source developers free time is.

The author isn’t using thirsty, like you’re thirsty for water. They are using the slang version.

I can see how you would misunderstand without knowing that.
