Yep, this is how I do it on my NAS, which is some RockPro64 board attached to WD Red spin drives. I have music, movies, game saves, documents, pics, etc. that equal around 1.5TB and I don't seem to get excess scanning when "watch files" is turned on.

I will second Bazzite, with the additional note that I've needed to use Feral Gamemode to get rid of microstuttering and other minor performance issues. But, that's not really different from any other distro I've tried gaming on (Void, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Funtoo).
Hmm, Punk Crocs...
Since it's the only one I listen to anymore, I gotta say Castle Superbeast is my favorite.
The album Fisherman's Woman by Emiliana Torrini.
If you're willing to forgo the GUI installer requirement, take a look at Void Linux. Pretty slim base installation, very stable and conservative package updates for a rolling release. Excelllent package manager. Downside might be smaller package selection than Debian or Arch.
Ah, I wasn't aware of the double-binding for gamepads, that's good to know. As a ~95% FA-off pilot (the feel of that flight model is like half the reason I play), I can sympathize.
You're welcome! I should also mention that AntiMicroX has been a lifesaver ever since I got a throttle and a stick that have more than 32 buttons. Because that's the limit that E:D can see on one device, I just use AMX to map the remaining buttons to keyboard keys.
I've played for years using various Thrustmaster and VKB sticks, throttles, and rudder pedals on Slackware, Funtoo, Void, and Tumbleweed. VR works ok too, though less performant post-Odyssey.
Thanks, good bot!
I believe that scene happens just after he gets his shape-shifting powers back; for a while before that, he had to wear regular clothes because he had been made more or less human as punishment by the Founders.
