    That’s awesome. While I don’t share your love for Debian, I’m glad it exists. Without it, we wouldn’t have Ubuntu or Mint or a ton of other choices.

    It’s also amazing that it works, as-is, for some people. More options just means more possibilities for people to find something that works for them and that’s what’s important.

      Ever since docker became available, along with flatpak; the Linux running these became less of an issue for me

          I have to use some programming tools and languages to code; installing them side by side and updating was a major hassle. Now I just have some aliases in command prompt.

          Docket desktop was a major religious experience for me; much easier than before

              And it sounds like in your case you need new and fancy, if I had to start over I would do arch

                Honestly, the server runs pi-hole, which I wanna switch for Adguard Home at some point, and Syncthing. Really not much running, but if Docker makes it easier to update and manage I want to learn how it works.

                But yes, I do want new and shiny. Just because it’s a very simple home setup that doesn’t have to be absolutely rock-solid stable. Also helps me feel more at ease about security fixes and such.
