DESCRIPTION:I want to talk about how good gaming on Linux is\, as compared 
 to Windows. With the constant improvements in proton and other FOSS librar
 ies and tools\, this might just be the year of the Linux desktop.\n\nThere
 's been a >50% year on year growth in the number of people gaming on Linux
 \, and this is only going to grow. The major boost came when Valve introdu
 ced the Steam Deck which basically revolutionized gaming on Linux. With th
 e upcoming Steam Machine\, we might just make up the majority of the marke
 t\, overtaking Windows for good.\n\nI want to talk a bout the basic techni
 cal aspects of the entire gaming pipeline on Linux\, and introduce people 
 to some of the most important FOSS tools and libraries which help us play 
 games on Linux. Few of these are proton\, dxvk\, vk3d\, vk3d-proton\, and 
 I'll also be talking about how Nvidia went partially open source for Linux
  and why it helps the community. Might also briefly touch on the work goin
 g on with NVK and Nova.\n\nI'll also talk about the basics of how to setup
  an Ubuntu desktop for gaming. I'll go through the required software and t
 ools needed to game comfortably on Ubuntu and how an end user can do this 
 without getting into a web of complex configurations.\n\nMore info: https:

DESCRIPTION:This is a continuation from my talk that I gave at UbuCon Asia 
 2025: https://events.canonical.com/event/127/abstracts/838/\n\nThis time\,
  I want to host a workshop where I'll walk people through the steps on how
  to setup Ubuntu server from scratch for self-hosting. I'll start with set
 ting up an LXD VM with Ubuntu server. I'll walk through securing the serve
 r using firewall\, fail2ban and other things. I'll then cover setting up a
  reverse-proxy like nginx and then host a simple web application on it. If
  time permits\, I can also cover setting up podman for containers. I can a
 lso go a bit deep into the concepts and cover the basics of routing and tu
 nneling as well.\n\nRequirements from attendees:\n\n- Laptop.\n\n- It woul
 d be great if they could setup LXD on their device (I'll walk people throu
 gh this if most of them aren't familiar with LXD.)\n\n- It would be great 
 if they could pre-download the Ubuntu server ISO (https://ubuntu.com/downl
 oad/server).\n\nMore info: https://events.canonical.com/event/146/contribu
