  • Not sure about the AUR, but the site goes down all the time and the creator has been MIA for months in the past. It’s still on flathub and you can download publicly maintained keydbs, so even if the creator and website vanished permanently it’ll keep working. If it were to stop working at some point you could probably cobble together a replacement with a few other tools: aaru to dump the disc, something to decrypt the aacs files, and mkvtoolnix to remux.






  • I usually check the length of each episode with the disc open in VLC and find the title with a matching length in MakeMKV, so I can set the names before extracting. Jellyfin supports naming episode files ‘S01E01 Episode Name’ which makes it easy to track what the file really is in case the db ordering turns out to be different. For nonserialized shows where order mismatches are likely I’ll check with TVDB as I’m going through the episodes on the disc.






  • In my experience steamvr works but is unstable and has really bad performance compared to windows. (Constant stuttering even in lighter games like pistol whip) Motion smoothing doesn’t work and it feels like there’s some input delay which is not acceptable for vr.

    I’ve switched over to monado via envision, which loses the steamvr overlay and is very unpolished. (no camera passthrough and no boundary display, though both seem in development) Games play correctly with reasonable performance, which is what matters.

    I wouldn’t recommend linux vr in general right now, if a friend wanted to try my headset I’d probably boot my windows partition. (Original htc vive with a 9070xt, so no excuse for steamvr’s linux performance)
