Need output to be able to tell you anything. Post the errors.

Regardless, if you’re building something without a purpose, assign it a dedicated purpose instead of just making it some other running machine.

You literally say in your post you’re building another machine.

Make it a single purpose machine that does the thing you need it for.

Separate the use-case here:

1. For your desktop, whatever works. There is no one distro that gives you some leg-up on performance or anything else. You can install the same software on all, and the kernel is largely the same.

2. Just get or build a NAS for hosting media. A Synology or Qnap has a bit of added cost, but the maintenance overhead is reduced by a LOT versus running TrueNAS, OMV, or similar. That being said, choose the right tool for the job, and don’t just run Debian for this purpose because it just adding admin overhead you don’t need. This probably has been solved from your specific angle. What you want is simplicity in maintenance. Being able to hotswap and repair a failed drive means a huge win.

They have a simple bash installer from what I see. You can also install everything via pip as well. Couple quick commands.

That bug report mentions a few versions, so maybe just go back to whatever version was working on your other machine.

This looks like a sandboxing issue. Using the “no-sandbox” flag has never worked on AppImage from what I remember, except for very light runtimes. Running with sudo will throw that error because the root user has no display manager running.

Just try running the installer if you don’t want to mess around with debugging the AppImage. Check the GitHub Issues for related keywords and see if others are running into the same issue, maybe it’s just a specific release, or SELinux causing the problem.

Linux has been the most prolific OS on devices for 25 years, friend.

Not important enough for people to not spend $500-600 on a MacBook instead of sticking with an antique PC they wish to keep running. That’s my point.

Costs less than a phone from the same company.

I feel like I’m insane for having to constantly reassure people on this fact, but…

LINUX IS THE MOST DEPLOYED OS ON THIS PLANET

Desktops are just software on top of Linux. The OS itself is superfluous. It’s in your TV, router, car, toothbrush…etc.

Who uses what for desktop matters very little except to the people making the desktop experience. The only thing on the horizon that is going to make a huge dent in the numbers you see reported on Steam, are Valve’s new hardware.

Meanwhile, many EU government operations are switching to Linux as fast as they can move their little fingers, but you won’t see that reflected on the stats you’re paying attention to.

Go back 20 years. See how many times this prediction has been made 🤣🤣

The only shift now is Microsoft shitting the bed so hard that people don’t want to deal with them. The difference this time is the MacBook Neo.

People would gladly pay Apple $600 for a working machine WITH support and stores everywhere to get help if they have hardware issues. It’s the new iPhone business model. They’ll be taking more desktop market share than people even imagine on the price point alone.

If you’re getting file verification errors, it probably means there are issues with files on one end of the other.

So a few things:

1. What’s this remote machine, and have you checked the filesystem recently?
2. Have you checked the filesystem on your local machines you’re copying files from?
3. Have you tried copying to an empty remote.traget directory and seeing if you still get these errors?
4. If 1 & 2 are fine, and then 3 works without problems, make a short list of some of the files that are throwing errors. Do they happen every single time at these same files? What’s unique about these files?

Versions should be fine. Your options matter though, so send the full command you’re using.

Also try this:

1. Open one terminal window and run a ping at your remote machine and let it keep running
2. Open another term and run your sync. See if ping lags or delay issues start when the rsync issues start in both windows

Kind of sounds like you have a rogue process engage the Wayland API to take exclusive control over something. Maybe you’re running multiple video apps that take input from your camera or streaming device at the same time, like Discord, Zoom, and OBS all running at the same time. One has exclusive access while you stream, but then another engages the same device and takes control for a split second, killing the other apps access.

If you have an Nvidia GPU, run nvidia-smi in your terminal and it will show with prices are engaging the GPU.

For AMD any process monitor should show GPU usage for procs, or there is radeontop for more detailed info.

Have to see it live to be sure, but it sounds like potentially you’re getting an update while the machine is running, and you haven’t rebooted to load the new GPU module.

Jaguar with 4GB of RAM. It’ll do all the normal desktop stuff and games up through maybe PS2 no problem.

Make sure you add at least 4GB of swap though.

It won’t work.

Like every these, repetition is key, and also stepping through each idea to get to an outcome.

Good luck to you though.

It’s not about “Linux Users”, it’s the fact that the issues described are MIS-identified because the operator who claims to be proficient in technology has zero idea what in the hell they are talking about.

Knowing how to navigate the Windows OS is like 2% of what a “technology guru” (this guy said it) needs to be fluent in. Windows in 2026 is more irrelevant than it ever has been since 3.1, and this guy is acting like becau6his fluency is in Windows he’s has some knowledge about computers in general.

He then goes to explain IN DEPTH AND DETAIL how he does not.

Rag on me all you want, but this is not a Linux person being a gatekeeper or withholding. This is a person with little technical knowledge missing the point and misrepresenting themselves.

Fuck this guy.
