I have on library stored on my NAS drive. It contains magazines and for the most part TTRPG books. Only about 200 in total. I run a calibre-web in a docker container and connect thru Tailscale using the Firefox browser so that I can just read what book I need based on what game we play. The magazines I access in the same way but on my phone when travelling.

I’ve used them and can find a lot of stuff that isn’t available on the more open seas, but maintaining ratio is a big issue, not sure if it’s my setup or the tracker itself, so I can’t download as much as I want to.

I think there is a way technically with something like trueimage or clonezilla, but I’ve never used it. Always thought of my VM as a learning tool, and then used what I learnt to fresh install on real hardware

Don’t wait. Experiment now in a VM to learn the basics.

I would love Elden Ring, but so would many of the others..

Optional. What fills me with hope is knowing there are still people like the OP who are willing to giveaway to those of us who missed so many good games.

Merry xmas

I’m not 100% sure if this meets any of your requirements but I always enjoyed homeworld can’t remember if I’ve ever run it on Linux since switching tho.

As to the other requirements, I don’t think I found it that easy to get into as it took a while to get into the whole 3D map thing, and the graphics may have aged

This is my biggest problem, but my eyesight is worse even with corrective glasses. I just listen a chapter at a time, it’s the only way I can do it.

Do I dare try this…

Wheel of time…maybe fantasy but still.

Firstly, forget the books

Secondly try to convince yourself that two or disparate storylines somehow will combine at some point to become meaningful.

Thirdly for some odd reason I still enjoy it

Sounds good, still not forgiven them for foundation, although if you forget the books it is quite an enjoyable story in its own right

Voting for Wool as it makes sense to read the book before checking out how AppleTV have (maybe) destroyed it
