I think it’s a bit boring. It’s fantastic for servers, and as a base for other distros. I did recently try it after using Mint for years (LMDE recently). I even used it with the Cinnamon DE I’m used to, and I just found it lacked some polish or something. Little niceties here and there. That’s it really. Minor drawbacks, and no advantage to me over LMDE, so that’s what I’m back to.

I also love Mint, though I now run the Debian-based one (LMDE).

I think it’s called Sandy Shores in the game, but Desert Shores is the real place next to the Salton Sea. Pretty wild driving around there. Even have a couple of dune buggies parked in town.

Thanks for this! I saw this post yesterday, and decided to check it out. I installed it locally on my laptop, and am evaluating it for work. If I recommend it for use, we’ll get a license :).

Since the idea would be to replace Adobe for non-Pro (and maybe some Pro accounts), ease of use for low-tech users is at the front of my mind. Not being able to “set as default” for PDFs is not ideal, but I understand the limitation comes from running in the browser. Is there some way to open the PDF, and then choose which tool to use? Rather than how it seems now: choose the tool/function, then upload the PDF.

Traditionally they’ve been email lists. Easy to set up and everyone has an email address.

Hey, so does God.

Thanks! Just started using this recently (been having problems with Substreamer), and so far, so good :)

How I learned the most was building a home server and figuring out all the problems along the way. LAN, WAN, VPN, iptables, DNS…

Avoiding studying for exams in 2007.

Use Ventoy to put a few different distros on a USB drive. Boot them up and try them out! You just want something you vibe with. Most of the suggestions here will be fine.

I do your second suggestion. I have a cheap ($5/mo) vps from digital ocean that proxies all the traffic to/from my home server via wireguard. There’s a few tutorials out there that explain how to configure iptables to forward traffic from one network interface to another on the vps.

But you are fully aware who’s wielding the tools you build…

After yoloing it for years, I finally deployed an offaite backup this month. I also host on Nextcloud (at my house). While I do have a local disk backing up my Nextcloud install, I didn’t have any backups of the external media hosting my photos.

Finally, I ordered a 10TB external drive and plugged it into a raspberry pi I had sitting around. Using wireguard and restic, I now have an offsite backup at a friend’s house!

I set mine up with Debian and Swizzin community edition.

When I was a kid, they were forever stinging me in the armpits.

It meets their needs and preferences, simple as that. I tried Arch in like 2008, and thought people were crazy for all the trouble it took back then. Nowadays there’s a lot of nice distros built on it, so you can get the benefits (such as they may be) without all the low-level tinkering.

Check out Yunohost. In my experience it is way easier to setup and manage than docker. I’ve been using it for years and it continues to improve and add more supported software.

Drop it on a cop from a high window.
