Look at Bluefin or Aurora. They are also made by Universal Blue and have developer versions that come with Tailscale VPN. They’re built on Fedora Silverblue just like Bazzite. I personally just moved to Bazzite two weeks ago, and then switched to Aurora.

No, because it’s a software KVM and it needs to be able to read, mirror, and suppress mouse and keyboard actions.

Setting up is stupid easy. What makes immutable distros potentially difficult is installing software. Anything packaged as a flatpak is stupid easy. Beyond that it can get complicated. But it’s not bad in general.

Having just switched to Linux with Bazzite two weeks ago, my biggest issues have come from Wayland support. And that’s really just because I have a specific piece of software I need that doesn’t support Wayland. And that’s a bit of an edge case and the result is more annoyance than show stopper.

I’m literally switching from Bazzite to Aurora right now.

Bluefin and Aurora are the same except they use Gnome and KDE respectively.

Each offers a general purpose version and a developer experience version.

I am just now dipping my toes into the Linux desktop life with a Bazzite dual boot. I’m very impressed so far. The Steam Deck finally won me over on the Idea of switching.

I bought an N100 mini PC (not POE) as my new server a couple months ago. I really like it. That processor is great for power efficiency.

people will shit on me about replacing Proxmox with LXD

From reading your comments I understand why. It’s in your delivery. You’re abrasive and you don’t explain why. You’re also telling people not to use something they know, to use something they don’t know, and not explaining how that would be beneficial. As far as I can see, you’ve only explained how LXD, when setup correctly, can do what Proxmox does.

You’re essentially telling people to use something that is at best a side grade for reasons, and being salty about it.

My x86 Proxmox consumes about 0.3 kwh a day at around 15% average load. I’ve only had the Kill A Watt on it for a day, so I don’t know how accurate that is, but it shouldn’t be too far off.

To your point, I clicked on this post hoping to see what OP was going to use and why because I would like to build my own NAS some day. But like you said, this post is a waste of everyone’s time.

Learning how to use other Docker images to run Docker containers is an important first step in that process.

I’m a programmer. My foray into learning how to containerize applications started by learning how to run containerized applications. Honestly, running them is the more complicated part (for many cases, some are dead simple).

Turning an app into an image is sometimes just a simple two line Dockerfile.

I started learning with Home Assistant and the branched out to pi hole, Frigate, Mosquito, and other home automation tools. I used that knowledge to containerize a home automation tool I wrote myself.

And now I’m working on containerizing dozens of applications at work.

JSON is nicer for some things, and YAML is nicer for others. It’d be nice if more apps would let you use whichever you prefer. The data can be represented in either, so let me choose.

The ones I watch have definitely helped me be a better cook. At the very least they have inspired me to try new recipes and experiment.

The hardware isn’t super important if you can get a Google Coral TPU. You can run Frigate on a Raspberry Pi that way. Without the TPU, it can be fairly CPU intensive.

I run Frigate on an old laptop and before the TPU it would run really hot. After it runs much cooler.

More important for frameworks than languages, IMO. Frameworks change drastically in the span of 5-10 years.

I need a saga. What’s the saga? It’s songs for the deaf. You can’t even hear it.
