https://yunohost.org/ is an attempt to fill that gap, but it's missing a key feature. Anything that wants to be broadly adopted will have to be appified these days.

https://forgejo.org/ is attempting to solve that problem. If we all adopt it (or other federated forges that may appear), we don't need GitHub at all.

If you're scripting it yourself, https://www.complete.org/dar/ gives a few extra niceties over just zip files or tarballs.

What's the smallest container around? How much RAM would that take?

edit: FROM scratch let's you run bare binaries on Docker.

Would be very interesting to see how far that could get. What sort of payload/task would be interesting for all those containers?

Unless you're doing something very unusual, you're not going to end up with many AUR packages. I've run Arch on SBCs without much trouble.

There are severely steps in between Gnome/KDE and Awesome. XFCE and Enlightenment are more user friendly options that are still quite lightweight.

Anyone else starting to favor Flatpak over native packages?

I am currently using Linux Mint (after a long stint of using MX Linux) after learning it handles Nvidia graphics cards flawlessly, which I am grateful for. Whatever grief I have given Ubuntu in the past, I take it back because when they make something work, it is solid....

@DidacticDumbass
You can set Debian to prefer installing from stable unless you explicitly request otherwise. That works on a per-package basis.

Presumably you could do the same with any apt-based distro, but I've not tried it.

This runs you through the setup: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/8049/how-to-install-some-packages-from-unstable-debian-on-a-computer-running-stabl#8051

Once it's in place, I've had no issues.

You can do what's called "dual boot" where both (or even more than 2) OSes are available and you pick which to use at boot.

Certainly, let's look for more ways to improve, but I've not had a need to fiddle with hardware configs in a while.

I count 2 personal laptops, a desktop, and a couple RasPis that just worked for me. One laptop had suspend issues in Windows that went away with Linux, which surprised the hell out of me.

My work laptop (Windows 11) needed GPU drivers reinstalled and increasingly acts up with docking and suspend.

Maybe I've lucked into good hardware or something.

After using a small install script of my own for a while, I switched to yadm. It's nice because it's a shell script, so no need to compile on different architectures/UNIXen.

Plan on getting a Linux laptop: any suggestions?

I’m considering getting a laptop for Linux and want to know a few things before I do. Some important info before I start: I don’t plan on using the laptop for anything too intense, mainly writing, digital art, streaming, browsing, and maybe very mild video editing (cropping at least and shortening at most). I would also...

I'm pretty sure I've seen OpenAFS used for this.

Honestly, though, put your dotfiles & other text in version control and anything binary in SyncThing. It's going to be way less headache.

One is that it's a shell script, so it feels like there's less to learn. The accuracy of that can be debated.

[Need Advice] How do I setup remote ssh for my jellyfin server?

I currently have a jellyfin server on a rpi4 running raspbian (I think). I’m planning to migrate that to a Dell Wyse mini pc before I go on a month long trip.

@Lateralking
A VPN is an attack vector, too, and as @vegetaaaaaaa said, it's not like you can slouch on hardening ssh regardless of where it listens.

It also adds complexity. One more thing to go wrong.

Do what you like, of course. Your devices, your choice.

@MarioBarisa
Not...overly? Many can't run a mainline kernel. Most have lackluster performance.

If you already have one, it's meeting your needs, and you're not bothered with the flash storage failing, carry on. But you really are better off scrounging a junk laptop/workstation in most other cases.

That said, I've also had that bite me. Some of those are junked for a reason and they can be flaky. Availability can differ in your area. 🤷‍♂️ Use what works for you.

@jaackf
SyncThing. It's the best sort of selfhosted program. You set it up once and then never think about it because it just keeps quietly doing what you wanted.

Wikis can be great if you've got a few folks that need to coordinate information.

An RSS reader/aggregator.
