    Had a movie stop playing the other week (I use my PC as a Jellyfin server and watch on a Nvidia Shield in another room). I thought something had crashed, but when I went upstairs to check, it had realised nobody was watching it and fucking rebooted.

      you should probably use a different operating system if you use it as a server

        If it was only used as a server, then I would. But it isn’t, so I don’t.

          I use a Manjaro box to game on. And video edit with davinci resolve. And so everything else that I do. Truenas for my NAS.

        It’s really not a good idea to have a home server you don’t update, assuming it’s accessible outside your network.

        Windows updates suck, but they can be delayed to only take place every 6-8 weeks.

        Or use Windows server. It would never do shit like that.

        Alternatively you could just not postpone updates for weeks.

        Just update your computers and this will never happen.

          Pure curiosity, I don’t own VR gear, does the Linux steam version not have VR?

              A Steamlink app was added to the Meta store recently. It supposedly allows playing streamed desktop VR. I have been meaning to try it with Steam on my Linux desktop, so I can’t really vouch for it yet, it could just not work. And who knows if Proton works for any specific VR games.
