I think that's kind of what they meant. I've also selfhosted Nextcloud for years, but I only use file sync and calendar/contacts.

Lately I've been feeling that Nextcloud is too big and clunky for just that. Like it's something I'd love to setup at work or for an org, but that it "feels" to heavy for home use these days.

I need to check out Radicale, I think.

My dream would for this to at least have an option for collapsable tree-style tabs. That's what I'm missing the most from the Edge implementation. Even "normal" vertical tabs struggle when you have over a hundred open tabs.

Yesss come on! I moved to Edge at my place of work because I can no longer see what I'm doing with horizontal tabs. And we can't use addons in Firefox.

This will land in ESR in three years time and then we'll be rolling...

I set lower priorites (higher number) for all repos from OBS and such. The only repo that has a higher priority is Packman. You can see your priorities with "zypper lr -p", and set priorities with " zypper mr -p 100 <repo-id>".

Same thing happened to me. I just continued on and changed TTY and all was fine.

OpenSUSE MicroOS or Fedora CoreOS. If you'll be using containers you'll have a great time. If you don't want to deal with transactional systems, then there is literally nothing I'd rather use than Debian.

Totally get The Foreman. Worst piece of garbage I've ever used.

I do use ansible to set up my own repository management/lifecycle environment servers nowadays, specifically to get rid of Foreman.

Why do you dislike ansible? Got to say that I love it, especially compared to stuff like Puppet and SaltStack.

I'm a sysadmin with a background in computer science, so I'll say any fucking enterprise software on the planet. It's all trash and annoying. I'd run Debian every day of the week over Windows or RHEL and the likes.

I never knew how much I love and appreciate open source/free software until I worked in enterprise...

"But VMWare PERFORMS BETTER than Proxmox!". Yeah, with 10 times the chance of making you depressed.

The Foreman/Red Hat Satellite. Many people wont know what it is, but it's the worst, bugiest, slowest piece of garbage I've ever touched.

Also Windows... I'm a Linux sysadmin but my work computer "needs" to use Windows and I've never disliked it as much as when I've been forced to work with it. Why is the virtual desktop experience so trash???

Writing systemd services for your containers is something yoully have to get used to with podman, pretty much. It's actually very easy with the built in command "podman generate systemd", so you can just do something like " podman generate systemd --name my-container > /etc/systemd/system". I much prefer managing my containers with systemd over the docker daemon. It's nice!

Also, podman can use privileged ports as root, right?

Not that unpopular an opinion, I feel like I hear it here and other places quite often. A fair opinion, like any other, but the problem for you is that there is no alternative to Wayland. X is abandonwere, as is Mir. The Wayland specs were written by X shills (I.e the X devs) because X is unmaintainable, so it's going to be very hard, if at all possible, to get other devs to effectively maintain X.

As for immutable distros: I've used Linux personally for a decade and worked as a Linux sysadmin for a few years, and I think immutable distros are great. They make server maintanence and lifecycle management a dream. If you haven't tried using them as server operating systems, I'd highly recommend using openSUSE MicroOS, and just trying it out! Deployments with podman or kubernetes and you have a rock solid, secure, and easily maintained system.

A day of sorrow indeed... No, joking aside. I gather most people use double click anyway, so this is a good change for that reason. I've never really understood it myself (the primary function of the left click being "select" when everywhere else it's "open" or "go to this thing"?? Alien stuff).

I'm just glad KDE listens to it's users and adapts to them. Looking forward to the release!

Got to say I really like the Fold. It's professional yet cozy

I haven't used Jellyfin with docker before, just with podman and as a pod in k3s. Both work great and are easy to maintain. If you're more familiar with podman then docker, then I'd recommend using podman.

openSUSE Tumbleweed or MicroOS. I've since long given up on so called "stable release" distros, because a boon to me is to feel like I'm not using software from the stone age, which is what I feel every time I have to use a RHEL, SLE or Ubuntu system.

I've used Tumbleweed on laptop and desktop for about 6 years. Never has anything crashed, or at least nothing has ever become unbootable. The most damage ever done by an update was a regression in mesa that made 3d accelerated content absurdly slow, but even that was fixed within a few days.

I use MicroOS on almost all my servers and it's rock solid.

zypper is slower than pacman, apt and dnf, but it's extremely usable and easy to work with, even in enterprise scenarios. I'd say it's basically on par with dnf, usability wise.

openSUSE in general feels extremely stable, and I just love that they went btrfs by default a few years back and just seem to have this future proofing aspect.

Just make sure to mount your volumes with the :z or :Z flags. I have disabled SELinux on servers in the past, but never when I've just used podman containers, since "it just works" with SELinux. Literally never had any problems with containers and SELinux.

I'm currently running Jellyfin on a VM in Proxmox and have been for a long time, it works great. My storage solution isn't glorious, but it is simple. I just have a Debian LXC container in proxmox that bind mounts a large disk and exposes that through an NFS share. Then I've installed jellyfin with Podman/Docker on a VM that has that NFS share mounted.

Also, a lot of people have already said this, but Podman/Docker only looks intimidating before you use it. It's A LOT easier to get applications running then using the "traditional way". The only thing that could potentially increase complexity for you is to expose a GPU to the docker container. But since you said you don't have a dedicated GPU I'd strongly recommend using a docker container for the job. Once you've used it, you'll never look back.

I used to manage the file hierarchy myself, but I haven't done that for years at this point. Same goes for tagging files and such. I just download everything to a root folder called "music" and let lidarr handle everything from there.

Lidarrs default file structure is something like {Artist}/{Album}{Year}/{Track} . This can of course be changed. Then I let lidarr just tag everything for me automatically, embedding album art and such.

It's a great setup overall, but I don't know where Lidarr indexes it's music library from, because some artists and albums might be missing sometimes. That's really the only pain point.

Really? I've been using three and four finger gestures on Plasma for a while now. Three fingers to change desktop and so on. Are you on an old version of Plasma?

My preference for a few years have been a combination if IBM Plex Sans for most stuff and Iosevka for monospace. They both look amazing! Iosevka might look a bit weird when first seeing it but I can't really use anything else these days. However, Fira Code is a really good monospace font as well.
