Actually, these are mostly based on my New Year resolutions, and not all of these will be applicable to you, but you will surely find one or two to add to your new year resolution as a desktop Linux user.

Well I've done most of those except for using an immutable distro, and quite honestly have zero interest in running one.

Just this past year I've setup a media server using a bunch of servers I nabbed from work, did unraid because I've been toying with the unraid idea for years. Learned and fell in love with Docker. I avoided it like the plague for the better part of a decade. Now I run damn near everything in docker containers. Started using home assistant quite recently actually, my wife got annoyed with the heavily sanitized results she was getting with Gemini for Google Home. So I setup M5Stack ATOM Lite ESP32's around the house acting as microphones that I then use with home assistant to ferry the query to the Anthropic API and the result to the nearest Google Home device. It's a work in progress, but happy with the results

that is the one i would agree with

learn NixOS you will see the potential immediately and it satifies everything else in that article pretty much

I've heard Guix is better.

[–] dwt@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes and no. I like the config language of GUIX better, but it has far fewer packages, and you are even more on your own figuring out how anything works. Choose your poison I guess.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago

Definitely a matter of picking your poison for me. 😅

But why though? When one is comfortable wit Linux, isn't that already enough? Sure its cool that I have my homelab on my raspberry pi manged via Portainer and Docker Containers, but should everyone needs that? Or diggin into the kernel, not everyone wants to code and develop or stuff on that level.

If you’re in that category you’re probably not in this community.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

what's that supposed to mean?

[–] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If you aren’t interested in more parts of Linux or computers then you are likely not going to be reading this community. For example you made the comment, but you also state you have a home lab. So you’re at least partially interested in more.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 2 points 5 days ago

But I am reading this community and am interested in surface level linux stuff like the MMB Paste issue?

[–] freeman@feddit.org 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Wrong. I recently gave up on setting up a docker setup at my homelab and am now learning more if it before trying a second time. I read lemmy Linux communities and itsfoss since two years or more.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Then by definition you are not in that category. You’re interested in more. So you both are interested in more and are in this community.

[–] freeman@feddit.org 1 points 5 days ago

I am barely "comfortable" with Linux, have only a very rudimentary, half broken V1 of a homelab set up on Linux Mint. I count myself into that category, yes. But I also read stuff here and on itsfoss and on other plattforms, mostly to learn things by osmosis, because I am not interested enough to buy a Linux or Commandline Book or sth.
