From my experience with tailscale so far - there are so many different ways to have it configured well. If it works well for you having it on the host, then go for it. I have home assistant in a VM with tailscale and tailscale on the (windows) host. This works well for my needs and I don’t mind having it running “twice”

Multiple versions, paths, and installs of Python. Using pip makes it worse.

I still don’t fully understand how to gracefully have multiple desktop environments and switch between them. When I want to try something new to me like lxqt, I usually spin up a VM.

Two actually

That’s great, but it should still be possible and well documented for people to run things natively. Some people want less bloat for technical reasons (maintaining a product with very little storage or memory). Tinycore Linux is my go-to example of the benefit of keeping things lightweight for a purpose.

The next steam deck is gonna be amazing. I mean the current one is, too

I was there the night of the incident last year. I was afraid of a stampede BEFORE the shooting, it was that crowded. Yeah, guns need to be banned or Paxton needs to provide a realistic solution.

I used to pride myself in Linux uptime on my desktop. Went without rebooting for months at a time. Back then, I wouldn’t let myself dual boot

Maybe Intel should boot using the embedded x86 in the chipset when the CPU dies in 13th/14th gen. CPU optional.

I’ve noticed the honeycrisp variety is comparatively cheaper this year than in years past. Closer to the price of other apple varieties at the stores I frequent. I go for pink lady apples recently though.

If you do compile something, it is very easy to make it an installable package you could share. I’m not sure how the repos are managed

Is it good with little to no knowledge? I’m only part way through the original series

Montreal Hotels had .5°C indications. I’ll stick to °F for human comfort. km/h is the same problem in a way, I need three digits to represent reasonable highway speeds.

I’m uninformed, why were things like snap and flatpak created?

I barely understand docker, but I’m starting to understand why it can be beneficial, although bloated.

I chose to set up grafana, mqtt, etc for an RV instead of home assistant. Little more lightweight for the raspberry pi 3 I used. Pulling together solar info, so we could see how long the AC would keep running on the road

KiCAD for circuit boards FreeCAD to import those boards and do everything else

Mint is great. It also works well out of the box in virtual machines. I like the MATE versions for my older machines.

There is a major shift happening right now, and mint is slower than many to adopt changes. I’d argue that’s good for mint users, but it may be bad for you personally if you plan to learn about modern linux. Idgaf personally about X11 vs Wayland, because I just need to be able to use my programs.

Framework. They even have a factory seconds store, if you don’t need a perfect screen.
