I had to plug in ethernet to the wifi drivers updated. Map a nas drive with the correct invocation in /etc/fstab. Getting camilladsp to work in multichannel 5.1 setup, getting my fricken nvidia drivers working, getting star citizen to work (still doesn't), getting roon to work in bottles, adding the right repos even for various software.

Linux has come a long way. It is mostly consumer grade now, but still has some refinement.
