Invalid slice maybe? Did you inspect the gcode you sent to the printer using Zupfe or similar?

If you keep within the file system (e.g. don't format anything or write to the device itself), are capable of executing a few commands in a terminal, and know how to boot from a live linux in case something goes wrong, you should be fine using snapshots, I'd say

Thanks, will read that later. The headset is a valve index, and bazzite comes with pre-installed nvidia drivers and steam, so I assumed I wouldn't have to do anything special. And it does work out of the box, as I said, it just works strangely (see my other reply).

I might just have to wait for the steam frame, I guess

The dashboard itself looks like it's tilted away from me (or towards me? don't remember), but only with both eyes open. When I close any one eye, everything looks like it should be fine. It's really strange, I don't understand how that is even possible.

The distro is bazzite, and the headset is the valve index, so I literally just clicked launch in the pre-installed steam

Tried it, and it runs, but everything looks wrong somehow

You want them to create websites and consider C, but python is too much "back end"? My mate, you already decided what you want, no need for discussion (:

Interesting.

Bruno also has inheritance for things like auth, which kinda solves the same problem as composable blocks. So it's not like you have to copy it everywhere

How does this compare to Bruno?

There is a plugin in the cura market place that tries to do this. Not sure how good it is

Get the cheapest and get a feeling for if this is the right thing for you or not, and if so, what more expensive equipment you actually need/want. You can always sell the stuff you don't need.

One other thing to consider later would be what lenses you can borrow from friends.

Well the image is based on fedora linux and the tooling was developed by fedora, I believe. I put Aurora Linux on my dad's aging PC around christmas, because it doesn't qualify for Windows 11 and 10 ends support soon. In my experience it boots pretty slowly on physical machines (with n=2, fine on VMs though), and it doesn't reliably wake from suspend, but other that that, it's completely fine. I did not try to install any other Linux for comparison though

You might want to try using an auto updating bootc based solution instead, such as universal blue with customized images. They have instructions on how to do image customization.

But more importantly: send him something like a NanoKVM along with the USB!
