Neovim is my goto editor for terminals. Yes.

See.

The pure magic of choice at work.

Again. Even exploration is choice.

Nobody owes you the experience you are mapping out here.

Idk. about the Linux idea and the freedom being at risk.

You’ve chosen another init system, they’ve chosen theirs -hopefully- for technical reasons.

As far as I see your choice and freedom is not constrained. You are free to mix and build whatever suits your needs.

The tools are different, but you‘ll be just fine.

I‘m used to Ubuntu Server and installed Cachy on a gaming PC. I’m still looking things up, but that’s about it. Just some more search engine work in the beginning.

A major difference might be the rolling release, which can trash your system/configs temporary. It didn’t happen to me, but friends reported some mishaps and frustrations.

Well, if you think homelab there are plenty of other ways to realize a sink holes (pi hole, blocky, …).

Little snitch and others are a good addition which can be useful, e.g. when roaming with a mobile device.

I’m still checking on videos on youtube where people use currently available boards/laptops and test and compare them to ARMs. In my opinion planning 2027-2030 hardware purchases and a full commitment is still too early.

There will most- ikely be a lot of movement be it chip-wise and with linux support.

For gaming, it is said to be slower in comparison to ext4. I’m personally not chasing FPS, but I know a lot of people doing so.

My gut feeling tells me, that all the data integrity checks are better used for real important data, and not for some media streaming (I’m using ZFS in corporate context).

Maybe, except for your gaming partition (ext4).

LibreWolf. It works 😬

This is so based. I applaud.

Nice move.

Feel free to check back and share your experience.

Then recommend Kubuntu. It is not like this is a competition or I need to he convinced ☺️

There are enough distributions for everyone and every need.

I recommend it for gamers. It has many convenient features for them.

Otherwise I prefer Debian/Ubuntu-based distros that are - in my perception- much more user friendly. LinuxMint is my goto recommendation.

CachyOS

Would suggest Linux Mint

I was fine buying it, too. Now, I bet they will integrate it into their online services in order to have people hooked up.

I used Affinity on Mac and Windows. It was the affordable, well-thought-out, performant Photoshop competitor and is now free to use (with a Canva account). Some folks got it running with wine and there is an easy to use appimage ( see articlke )/

I got it running easily, but didn’t test it fully, yet.

Affinity

Someone just recently managed to get it going.
