I’m not forced to, but occasionally my job kinda requires it so I dualboot (most of my coworkers who are on linux run a windows virtual machine when they need it).

But my previous job required windows due to all the industry specific software only working on windows. No chance of getting that to work on linux sadly. Then I just used windows at work. It’s always my employer’s hardware anyway and I like to keep work and free-time separate so it was ok.

Do it, 100% worth it! Also has some extra stuff for already-experienced users if it gets too easy :)

I had the same issue, this is indeed perfect for that level and a nice cozy start for your server admin journey :) I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I hope someone else can pitch in with a more indepth instructions, but two things I wanted to mention:

First, forget about hosting your own email from home. Seriously. Even those who do it professionally don’t want to deal with that at home. You’ll find people on fediverse who do it but I’m sure plenty will give you this same recommendation/warning. It’s a huge hassle and it’s so easy to get your domain blocked/ending up on a blacklist and way harder to get out of it.

Second, I can personally recommend https://linuxupskillchallenge.org/ if you are really starting from scratch ( there’s a community here: !linuxupskillchallenge@programming.dev ). This is how I started and set up my own linux server and started self hosting stuff on it. It’s really basic and won’t teach you everything you need but it’s a great start for setting up your own server. You can do everything with a local server at home that you have set up.

No worries :)

No, haven’t tested bazzite. I’m sure it’s great as I’ve heard good things about it. My comment was just a joke comment since we are in a meme community (but I do actually use mint, btw)

Don’t know what’s all the fuss about (I use mint btw)

Looks incredible, well done!

From their release notes:

[…] Note that this feature is completely optional and no AI related code is even loaded until you configure an AI provider.

I’m glad for that part.

Exactly. I like this website because it shows exactly why people say that it’s hard to stay anonymous online. Even if you don’t directly give away information you can e.g. guess what timezone I approximately live in based in my posting time statistics. If you go through more data and analyze my posts/comments and compare to other users you can tell quite a lot.

Creepy but excellent web app for awareness.

Couldn’t you just place a sticker on top? I know that you’ll either not get the led light or it’s gonna look a bit funny in the dark if part of the windows logo shines through if the sticker is not thick enough, but you can place a tiny tux sticker there!

Forgot about floorp, you are right. No need to jiggle tarballs.

Hey now it’s simple. The name is derived from Ygjls and hfefe which are like industry standard and everyone knows that. Well ok, maybe not hfefe but how do you jumbo your börg config without jimbling tarballs from nightly goobpy repo which obviously has hfefe as a dep?

Hey I am in no way an expert and can’t test it right now, but on their github they say "Light-weight system monitor for X, Wayland, and other things, too ". Does it not work on wayland?

edit: answered to the wrong reply, sorry. But: me too, to both of those!

Absolutely do not checkout “conky” and under no circumstances search for “conky themes” in image search. A program for the utterly deranged

Shit, I’ve been scrubbing the bathroom for 10hours, can’t close Vim

I know it’s a classic but confused how I’m supposed to use Vim to send an email

Already got my Vim, any tips?

Awesome! Glad to hear! :)
