  • I think that’s kind of what they meant. I’ve also selfhosted Nextcloud for years, but I only use file sync and calendar/contacts.

    Lately I’ve been feeling that Nextcloud is too big and clunky for just that. Like it’s something I’d love to setup at work or for an org, but that it “feels” to heavy for home use these days.

    I need to check out Radicale, I think.







  • Writing systemd services for your containers is something yoully have to get used to with podman, pretty much. It’s actually very easy with the built in command “podman generate systemd”, so you can just do something like " podman generate systemd --name my-container > /etc/systemd/system". I much prefer managing my containers with systemd over the docker daemon. It’s nice!

    Also, podman can use privileged ports as root, right?

    Not that unpopular an opinion, I feel like I hear it here and other places quite often. A fair opinion, like any other, but the problem for you is that there is no alternative to Wayland. X is abandonwere, as is Mir. The Wayland specs were written by X shills (I.e the X devs) because X is unmaintainable, so it’s going to be very hard, if at all possible, to get other devs to effectively maintain X.

    As for immutable distros: I’ve used Linux personally for a decade and worked as a Linux sysadmin for a few years, and I think immutable distros are great. They make server maintanence and lifecycle management a dream. If you haven’t tried using them as server operating systems, I’d highly recommend using openSUSE MicroOS, and just trying it out! Deployments with podman or kubernetes and you have a rock solid, secure, and easily maintained system.




  • openSUSE Tumbleweed or MicroOS. I’ve since long given up on so called “stable release” distros, because a boon to me is to feel like I’m not using software from the stone age, which is what I feel every time I have to use a RHEL, SLE or Ubuntu system.

    I’ve used Tumbleweed on laptop and desktop for about 6 years. Never has anything crashed, or at least nothing has ever become unbootable. The most damage ever done by an update was a regression in mesa that made 3d accelerated content absurdly slow, but even that was fixed within a few days.

    I use MicroOS on almost all my servers and it’s rock solid.

    zypper is slower than pacman, apt and dnf, but it’s extremely usable and easy to work with, even in enterprise scenarios. I’d say it’s basically on par with dnf, usability wise.

    openSUSE in general feels extremely stable, and I just love that they went btrfs by default a few years back and just seem to have this future proofing aspect.
