There are KVMs that support signal switching. Probably about $3k USD.
They are largely employed in the camming industry, which is what I assume you are subtly mentioning you’re going back to.
Not cheap. Have lots of problems, require an external remote to “switch scenes”, and they fail…like a lot.
I couldn’t suggest them unless you’re fine throwing that kind of money away.
Not sure what you even mean, but OP seems to be struggling with just installing Wine.
99% of everything should work right off the bat with any Prefix Manager, and only in RARE cases does tweaking Wine directly ever come into to play.
I think you have it backwards.
Honestly, unless you know exactly what you’re doing, I wouldn’t run Wine directly.
Use a Wine Prefix manager like Proton, Lutris, Heroic …etc. It makes everything pretty dead simple, and keeps all your Wine stuff isolated.
Nix is simply a different distro with a declarative composition for its package management. You won’t be getting different behavior from package selections or anything like that if it’s a bug in the software itself.
Just letting you know.
It’s no hard to break than anything else. I’m not sure you understand what the issue is here…
Battery is probably worthless, so probably not much. Not even sure what version of iOS it can run. Doesn’t look like PostmarketOS can run on it yet.
You miiiiight be able to get a Linux Kernel booting, but not sure where you can go from there because there will likely be no other hardware support for the touchscreen or media devices: https://github.com/SoMainline/linux-apple-resources/blob/master/HOWTO.md
Every modern distro keeps previous kernel boot entries available at boot time. You don’t need to use snapshots to simply not boot a potentially problematic kernel update.
There are literally near zero reasons to ever have to reinstall any Linux install. Moving to a more complex distribution isn’t going to solve your problem here, which is just learning a different workflow. That workflow being more akin to software development workflows: if something fucks up, just revert.
If I get a minute I’ll see if I can replicate, but my initial guesses are:
Edit: also maybe give this a shot. https://www.azdanov.dev/articles/2025/how-to-create-a-virtual-display-for-sunshine-on-arch-linux
Not sure what you mean about the mouse cursor not showing up. You mean you can interact with the mouse, but just see a cursor? Or no matter which direction you move the mouse the cursor doesn’t get there?
You sure after setting up the virtual display you’re going through the steps to setup the orientation of monitors?
Change your time servers or add more to the load balanced con, and make sure you don’t have a block on your network for those hosts. You can also set the timeout for that particular service to something shorter so it doesn’t hang, or remove deps that rely on it from the service files.
What’s the exact error it’s giving?
Literally nothing. It has nothing to do with Linux.
They won’t make their CAC© checks be always online because they know they’ll lose sales. The reality is that more people will not buy always online games than have the will and know-how to find cracked versions. The segmentation of the general market is just much smaller.
So I don’t think anything will happen here.
They don’t.
They aren’t real.
Minisforum makes good stuff, but only buy their Refurbished items if you don’t need something specific.
Lots of people buy Beelink minipcs for n100 boxes, but looks like the prices are all jacked right now. [This should only be about $150 maybe.](https://www.newegg.com/beelink-barebone-systems-mini-pc-intel-n95/p/2SW-0012-001Z2?Source=socialshare
I wouldn’t use an old MacMini for much because they aren’t actually power efficient, but any n100 for Ryzen5 minipic with Kodi on it would work just fine for you want. There are plenty of altern6to Kodi, but it’s so simple, it’s hard to pass up.

Rupert Murdoch to get Fox News viewers in the US in the late 90’s. He started that dumb shit the way you understand it today.
The only reference people have for these kind of judgements is polling by browser.
You’re talking about users of a specific OS who would spend time to not make that known. They would also opt-out if any reporting about there machine specifics for polls, should they be asked.
I can guarantee real world usage is always higher than these polls suggest. I don’t know about 10%, but they are higher in actuality.
Nah, you need the ones that do actual signal switching in DP or HDMI to let the display know what’s going on.
The people who make these know who their target audience is, and it’s not people “working from home”.
