I was entering my teens in the early 2000's. My memory is terrible but my family got a pentium 3 desktop PC and I remember I had some versions of SuSE, Ubuntu and Mandrake (or was it Mandriva by then) on that PC at one time or another. My family never knew how to use it because it was different all the time. Heck I didn't know how to use it.

When I built my first PC, a pentium 4, I dual booted windows and some flavour of Linux for a time, but I got into PC gaming so I only casually checked out new releases of Ubuntu over the years. Once Proton arrived though it was finally time to make the switch.

I'm not a developer, I made a pong clone with python once because I wanted to learn for the sake of it, but I support a few projects financially that I enjoy, I try to submit bug reports best I can. For the most part the community is great, and yes I use Arch btw.

This is what happened to me just recently. Have been using Niagara for about a year but just discovered Kvaesitso. They each do some things better than the other but both have some really great features that aren't just about what you can do to a 5 x 6 grid.

Late reply, but I've got 4 proxmox nodes. TrueNAS with an HBA passed through, the arr stack, jellyfin, Home assistant, Nextcloud, bookstack, Unifi network application, Kavita, a windows VM with a 3080ti passed through that the kids can connect to using moonlight to play games on various tvs/devices. Various Linux distros to play around and test configs before I make any serious changes to my main desktop. Most recently set up graylog to pull in logs from pfsense and Unifi.

I have an insatiable thirst to just learn!

I always do this too. You think I'm going to finish my meal with 2 bites of chicken in a row?! No chance. Gotta be a clean finish with a bite of salad, bite of rice, bite of chicken.

I LOVE the idea of Lemmy and the decentralized web and people coming together to forge our own way. But there's a far too high ratio of elitism, smugness, arrogance and belittlement to people that just want to discuss the things we enjoy. It is just really unfortunate. I don't engage very much, or at all really so I understand part of that is on me, but every discussion I find I'd like to chime in on is already polluted by assholes. It's just disheartening.

They work in a pinch but even on windows they always end up causing more trouble than it's worth. I recently got a client business, a lawyer's office, where their previous IT got them all Startech displaylink docks. After I replaced a couple of them where the users had some lower end i3 laptops, searches they ran in their document management system finished in maybe 50% of the time.

Good processors like the M1 you maybe can't notice but they cripple the lower end systems.

I listen to the Sunscreen Song when I'm wrestling with things like this. The quote from it that applies here I think would be

"Don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance... So are everybody else's"

I'm using Bookstack for myself as well as for work and I love it. It may not have all the features some of the others mentioned here do but there is beauty in its simplicity. It gets out of my way but still has a few power user features.
