  • I disagree. In a business environment it is actually really good, or at least was pre-Azure. I dislike that they are trying to push people to Azure instead of on-prem.

    For home use it’s been pretty poor since Windows 8 and seems to be turning to shit since Windows 11.

    Windows 11 did one good for me though. It’s been enough to push me to properly give Linux a try again. Proton has been a major step forward as gaming has been the main reason I never stuck. I’m currently spending more time in Arch (btw) than Windows.


  • I’ve ran multiple containers on a Pi 3 before “upgrading” to a Pi 4. Yes not even a Pi 5. Sure it’s not rapid and drags it’s heels at times but for the most part it’s great for hosting stuff for my household.

    Home assistant, Plex, Syncthing, Wireguard, Ad Guard, nginx, nginx proxy manager, duckdns, mongodb and unifi network appliance. I was also running Jellyfin along side Plex but it keeps causing the Pi to lock up.







  • Same old shit with everything. A company makes a move that users don’t like. The company just ignores all the flak they are getting online. The uproar calms down and then things continue.

    We’re seeing this more and more. Windows with ads, Amazon adding ads to their prime video account holders. Spotify moving lyrics to their premium subscription. The past couple of years are shit and companies continue to do whatever the fuck they want.



  • I’m not a complete newb when it comes to Linux but I am a newb for running it as my main desktop OS. I ran Mint for a few months but the game I play just stopped working. I kept booting back into Windows as a work around. I eventually wiped Mint off and went with Arch. I gotta admit I was expecting to run into issues but I’ve had no issues at all. I’ve always been a fan of minimalism so Arch has always been on my radar. I’m glad I sucked up the courage to try Arch as it really has worked out well for me.



  • I’ve ran Plex and other apps directly on Raspberry Pi’s for years but started playing with docker. I really prefer it and always try to go for docker images over regular app installs. When it came to upgrading my stuff from Pi3 to a Pi4, because I put all my docker stuff on an external drive I could just mount that drive on the new Pi and then run my docker-compose file to get everything up and running again. Containers are awesome!

    I’m confident with Linux but by no means an expert. So if I can get it working then anyone else can. My advice though is to avoid using Portainer to create your containers. It may look easier cause it has a GUI but do ker-compose is not hard. Having that one file for all your apps makes life nice and easy


  • It’s not. I still dual boot but boot more into Linux now as I do want to get away from Windows. The one thing that always held me back was gaming. There’s still games that don’t run but those tend to be ones that use specific anti cheat software. Certainly all the games I run work fine.

    If Linux couldn’t play games the Steam Deck would be a very flawed concept!
