This is really useful. Thanks a lot! (Agree about the wiki).
I’m in the same boat as you, but haven’t tried making my own packages. Is there a guide somewhere I can follow?
OK, good points. I’ve had lots of hallucinations and fake info tho.
Actually the summaries are good, but you have to know some of it anyway and then check to see if it’s just making stuff up. That’s been my experience.
Yeah that’s interesting.
I hadn’t considered this. It’s interesting stuff. My old doctor used to just Google stuff in front of me and then repeat the info as if I hadn’t been there for the last five minutes.
This is the part that bothers me the most, I think.
Or ditto
Get a room.
If you’ve got a spare USB stick laying around then you could install Ventoy on it (https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html) and run Linux in a live environment. Just (1) install Ventoy on the USB (this will wipe it, btw) (2) download any live Linux ISO (Mint has one of these) and put it on the USB (3) change your BIOS boot order to USB first (4) reboot and select the Linux you want to test drive from the Ventoy menu. (5) When you’re done, just shut down, unplug USB and reboot normally.
I reckon Kagi is the best search engine out there. It’s paid though. Second I’d have Qwant followed by DDG.
I use Kagi and it’s great. But I’d also throw in a big honourable mention for Qwant. Imo it’s better than DDG. Throw in some NextDNS ad blocking and you’ll practically never see ads in your search again.
Obligatory mention of Kagi (which is actually brilliant).
That is true. I only use mine locally, so it’s not a problem. Although you can remote access via Tailscale for safety. It’s quicker and easier than trying to set up remote proxies etc, about which I know nothing. Tailscale took 5 mins.
Immich is on a par with Google Photos, imo. It’s self hosted though, so not for everyone.
HM seems worth the effort only if you do a lot of customizing and tweaks to your home setup. Would that be an accurate assessment?

Welcome to the club. Nixos is fabulous. There’s a steep learning curve though, and I still don’t really get flakes and home manager.
13 years on Ubuntu deserves some kind of prize! It was my gateway into Linux back in 2006 but they started to lose their way with the Gorilla release. I like the look of EOS tho.
