    Sorry, didn’t make it home until today and not sure if you get notifications on edits. You will need a monitor and keyboard hooked up to your server as you will not have ssh access until the network config is “fixed”. I would do the below with the GPU removed, so you know 100% that your networking config is correct before mucking about further.

    Step 1 - Create 99-default.link file

    Add a /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link with the below contents.

    # SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT-0
 #
 # This config file is installed as part of systemd.
 # It may be freely copied and edited (following the MIT No Attribution license).
 #
 # To make local modifications, one of the following methods may be used:
 # 1. add a drop-in file that extends this file by creating the
 #    /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link.d/ directory and creating a
 #    new .conf file there.
 # 2. copy this file into /etc/systemd/network or one of the other paths checked
 #    by systemd-udevd and edit it there.
 # This file should not be edited in place, because it'll be overwritten on upgrades.

 [Match]
 OriginalName=*

 [Link]
 NamePolicy=mac
 MACAddressPolicy=persistent

    Step 2 - Reboot and find new name of NIC that will be based on MAC

    I forget if you have to reboot, but I am going to assume so. At this point, you can get the new name of your nic card and fix your network config.

    1. ip link should list all of your nic devices, both real and virtual. Here is how mine looks like for reference, with the MAC obfuscated:
    1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enxAABBCCDDEEFF: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master vmbr0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: vmbr0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

    Step 3 - Fix your network config and restart network manager

    You will need to edit your /etc/network/interfaces file so the correct card is used.

    1. Make a copy of /etc/network/interfaces, just in case you mess something up.
    2. sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces (or whatever text editor makes you happy) It will need to look something like below. I have to have DHCP turned on for mine, so your config likely uses static. Really all you need to do is change wherever it says enp yada yada to the enxAABBCCDDEEFF you identified above.
     source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

 auto lo
 iface lo inet loopback

 iface enxAABBCCDDEEFF inet manual

 auto vmbr0
 iface vmbr0 inet dhcp
 #iface vmbr0 inet static
 #address 192.168.5.100/20
 #gateway 192.168.0.1
     bridge-ports enxAABBCCDDEEFF
     bridge-stp off
     bridge-fd 0
    1. Restart your networking service. You shouldn’t need to reboot. sudo systemctl restart networking.service

    Step 4 - Profit?

    Hopefully at this point you have nework access again. Check the below, do some ping tests, and if it doesn’t work, double check that you edited the interfaces file correctly.

    1. sudo systemctl status networking.service will show you if anything went wrong and hopefully show that everything is working correctly
    2. ip -br addr show should show that the interface is up now.
    lo               UNKNOWN        127.0.0.1/8 ::1/128
enxAABBCCDDEEFF  UP
vmbr0            UP             192.168.5.100/20

    At this point, if all is well, I would reboot anyways, just to make sure. If you add any GPUs, sata drives, other PCI device, disable/enable wifi/bt in the BIOS, or anything else that changes the PCI numbering, you don’t have to worry about your NIC changing.

    Like other posts, Factorio. You will lose sleep. Set timers…

    Proton and Vulkan make most things easy-ish if you are using Steam. Note that there is a little properties button on the game page that you probably need to use to force it to use Proton so it will install. Proton DB is your friend. Lutris + Wine is pretty good too. Proton is just Wine with enhancements.

    You may find Helldivers a lot of fun too, especially if you can play with friends. It is suitably ridiculous in the best way and is sort of human vs aliens/robots. All of the humans (us) play on co-op teams to bring Democracy to the universe. There is a game master from the company that makes it that is leading the war against us. Like I said, suitably ridiculous. Most of my friends are playing it nightly and it will be a big part of our LAN party this weekend.

    Ok. I tried Firefox for about a month on my Android phone and Mac, but unfortunately had to go back to Chrome on both. I don’t really know what to do at this point. I run enough firewalls and ad blockers that using Chrome has never particularly bothered me from a usability standpoint, but I get the point everyone is trying to make. However, I also don’t want to spend weeks of my life fighting to get yet another open source program to work the same as the “other” program, or find some substitute that I can live with.

    I used to use Firefox when I was a kid and loved all of the extensions. However, it seems severely lacking now. I tried to find something to give me group tabs, and found old abandoned projects or some tree thing that made 0 sense to me. I saw an article I think explaining that it is coming? I don’t understand why a feature like this is missing when it used to exist a long time ago. Seems like basic functionality to me. Also, why is the tab bar so big? It takes up a lot of screen real estate.

    The thing that killed it for me was the lack of PWA support, which is how I have used Outlook for around 6+ years. I fought with the extension for a while and things sort of worked on and off for a few days here or there, but half the time it would open emails in the main browser anyway. Once it got to the point where Outlook was completely blank and refused to load at all, I gave up. I could never get it to work again. I hoped I could maybe setup the PWA to just be in Chrome or Safari, but it just opens it as a tab in Firefox anyway. I tried, but I am not going to spend hours fighting with it anymore at this point and it would be nice if it was built into the browser instead of a random extension.

    It was a better experience on the phone, and I like the bar on the bottom, until I realized it was draining my battery. I found a thread of users complaining about it for the last few months with no fix. I don’t even use the sync feature, but that supposedly is the culprit? Phone kept dying and I barely used it. Looked at the battery usage screen and there it was, almost the top item. I would love to use Firefox on Android, but not at the expense of my battery. Sorry.

    I will happily defend you on this point. Down vote away people. As long as you don’t shove past the rows in front of you or bonk me with luggage, we good. I try to remember the passengers who had to store luggage father back and see if I can get it passed forward. I will totally boss people to sit back down if someone needs to get to the front ASAP due to close connections. If it is going to be a while, I will try to grab my backpack and sit back down.

    Now, people with oversized rollerboards? Yeah. I get pretty irritated over that and the vast number of issues that causes with boarding and deplaning. The airlines make it worse with price hikes. I personally check all of my luggage and rarely run into issues. If I have any major concerns I will throw a couple things into a bag that will fit under my seat or FedEx it if we are really going there.

    As someone who has had a multitude of health problems, I am so glad that you are getting help. I have EoE, which really sucks, but I can’t imagine not eating at all. I had a condition finally diagnosed a couple months ago after years of being told nothing was wrong with me, which is better than being told it is probably in my head. I have chronic pain too, but it is “manageable”. Short version is I lost the genetic lottery, but I keep trucking along.

    Also, lamotrigine gang stand up!

    Definitely try Soylent (powder) as you can thin it out as much as you need to. I haven’t had the premade versions in forever, so I don’t remember. Worth a shot.

    As far as traveling goes, try to find a coffee shop or something to chill at for a few hours, though the smell may be too much now that I think of it. That really blows that the Internet is awful there and I have had to resort to tethering in the past. I have Google Fi, so tethering is dead simple and just works, but yada yada Google is evil. Once upon a time you could only make WiFi hotspots on your phone if the actual WiFi is turned off, but I don’t know shit about iPhones.

    Sorry about the nerve study, but make sure you ice afterwards. The pain doesn’t always set in right away. Had a rather agonizing drive home once…Make sure to speak up if it hurts a lot, or just feels…wrong. Ask for breaks if you need it. Nerve pain is something else.

    I think most other comments cover the important bits, so I will try not to repeat them. I have been using a M1 MacBook Air since they came out and I love it. The battery life is great, the desktop environment is very clean and unobtrusive, and I don’t have to fight with it very often. I use brew to install my FOSS stuff. I certainly don’t pay for anything extra. Only major complaint is the way they do the windowing. Don’t know the right word for it. Maximize, minimize, “alt-tab”, and snapping to half/quarter/etc like Windows isn’t great in comparison and pretty lacking. Thankfully there are 3rd party applications such as Rectangle and AltTab that make it better. I haven’t used Stage Manager as it doesn’t fit my workflow.

    The only other OSs I use at home are Debian and Arch. Those cover any additional gaming I might want to do, but they are primarily servers. I use GeForce Now for everything else.

    I tried a W11 on a VM and I cannot describe the amount of hatred I have for it. I feel like I am fighting with the OS at every turn. I don’t really have a problem with W10 from a generic user experience, other than that advertising BS they keep trying to sneak in.
