xdg-open is responsible for handling those. You just need to change what it thinks the default might be: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/1ha9czj/setting_default_browser_for_opening_links_with/

Am I?

But Dreamcast wasn’t even a popular console, so not sure that dips into “Premium Gaming”.

This is cool and all, but why Dreamcast? This seems it could run on anything from NES and up possibly.

Headers don’t interact with the kernel, so there’s no stability issue there. I assume what you did was install a mainline kernel in an Ubuntu flavor of something, then needed the headers for the Vbox extensions, but headers aren’t available in packages for mainline kernel versions.

You can build VirtualBox and it’s components, or just the components from source. That means install the packages bits, then download kernel source, and use it to build the extensions, then you can package and install them.

Try running sudo shutdown -h now and see if it still does the same thing.

If so, try forcing ACPI actions like so and see what happens: https://askubuntu.com/questions/125844/shutdown-does-not-power-off-computer#127022

I know this an ACPI tables issue, but there’s a wide variety of debug steps to figure out which one.

Have you updated the firmware recently? https://us.starlabs.systems/blogs/news/firmware-update-announcement-25-05

They’ve fixed a lot of ACPI and power issues with various models, including the mk7: https://github.com/StarLabsLtd/firmware/issues/139

What’s the model of the laptop?

Pro ably some ACPI issues. Have you changed BIOS settings or anything else recently? Did it previously work fine?

I would just make sure you’re only READING from the NTFS volume. Writing to NTFS is technically supported, but due to the nature of the filesystem, it will run into errors at some point as others may have mentioned.

Instagram/Threads has been implementing very difficult to bypass controls for content. If you can’t easily get it, it’s probably not worth it.

There are Linux tricks for these models of Surface devices. Go for that.

Pretty simple video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efh0M-0kEcE

Rsync will always be faster than SMB. NFS will be faster than both other options. It’s a protocol thing. You should tune your SMB config properly though, as there are tweaks that can benefit throughput greatly.

The driver is swapping out and being reinsertered. Depending on your card and monitor, you may just need to unplug and replug your monitor to force it to switch/set mode.

If it’s killing your desktop session as well, that sounds like something you have installed is problematic as this shouldn’t happen.

If you can still ping and ssh into the machine, it’s still fine and doing what it should, but some other combination of things are causing your display to not come back online.

Yes, it should just boot right up, no problem.

This game was an MMO, and the servers have been shut down for 10 years. There’s no way to play it.

There does seem to be some Open Source project to recreate it though: https://nightriderz.world/

I don’t think there’s an inherent issue with 580, but maybe others can chime in with different info.

Do you know the install source for the packages?

The NFS games are problematic in general on Wine. Check ProtonDB if you’re unsure.

You’d be better off running it on a different system emulator where it’s all encapsulated in an image to run from.
