OpenZFS 2.3, UX Engineer Damian Szidiropulosz, and Gaming on TrueNAS? | TrueNAS Tech Talk (T3) E011

In this episode of TrueNAS Tech Talk, Kris and Chris discuss the release of OpenZFS 2.3 and its new features, including optimized RAID-Z Expansion, fast deduplication, DirectIO for NVMe, and optional JSON output for ZFS commands. They then welcome Damian Szidiropulosz, a user experience engineer at iXSystems, to discuss his work on the TrueNAS UI, including the feedback smiley face, and his TrueNAS-based remote gaming setup. Damian details his hardware choices, including a 5U case, an ASRock Rack PAUL card for IPMI, and his experience with GPU passthrough using an AMD 5700 XT. He also shares his plans for future optimizations, such as moving the zvol to the host machine, setting up emulators with Steam ROM Manager, and exploring open-source alternatives for USB over IP and potentially migrating to a Linux-based system.
