The blog post linked within was a good read.

“Blazing fast” makes me check out so fast.

Its also possible that out of the people who hate on it, the people who haven’t actually tried it outnumber the ones who have.

I agree. People need to chill.

Fair enough. Personally, I am a developer who only has worked professionally in C#. C/C++ scare me. I would get used to it if I were to use it professionally. on the other hand, I picked up rust as a hobby language for some low level stuff because I love the guardrails the compiler provides. I think rust would help make me a better C programmer TBH.

Do you have something against it? People hate on it like it’s a fad or whatever. But, the people who like it, LOVE it.

Rust is the most admired language, more than 80% of developers that use it want to use it again next year.

Rust is on its seventh year as the most loved language with 87% of developers saying they want to continue using it.

8 years in a row. I can understand the perspective of someone who spent years honing their craft in C/C++ and not wanting to learn a new language. But, the Harassment of the “Rust in Linux Lead” is ridiculous. I’m not saying you are harassing. But, saying it’s a tech bro thing is just negative and doesn’t do justice to how many devs just like rust.

The Pinecil uses a standard tip as well. So, you can get cheap ones on aliexpress. That’ll pay for it for me tbh.

NixOS. Not in a good way. I love the idea of configuring your entire system with a configuration file. However, on my laptop I couldn’t get the KDE live boot image to boot into the GUI. So, I tried the gnome live image, successfully, and used it to install KDE. I thought that I was in the clear but then sddm wasn’t working. I had to disable it to get nixos to boot into KDE.

I mean, I fixed it. But, with an intel APU from 2014, I haven’t had any problems with this laptop running Arch, Debian, Linux mint, or Fedora.

I see it more as a local repo. Like, setup the repo to do what you would have done manually so that you don’t have to do it on multiple computers. I could be misunderstanding it though.

I’ve never had an issue with the flatpak version being out of date. 😊

Just use the flatpak?

Well put.

I use arch btw

Its a fork of gitea. It formed when gitea did something that the community didn’t like. I don’t remember the reasoning. But, I remember someone sending me a bunch of info about it in the past and it was enough for me to switch.

Hey, you two quit having civil discourse right this instance! XD

I don’t have experience with them. I have been using linode for a few years now and love it!

A bunch of people recommend dozzle in this thread… I’ve been using Dockge. I wonder how they compare. I’ll have to check that out later.

I use obsidian for my notes/wiki. I use the git plugin to backup/sync my notes. I self-host forgejo as my gut server. Works great!

Caddy is my favorite reverse-proxy. The setup is just a config file.

Sounds like a guide to me ☺️

The registry is one of the reasons I was thinking I would need separate prefixes that I can copy. But, I also understand that games that actually use the registry are few and far between. If I actually come across one that needs registry edits I can just pack that differently.

You have been beyond helpful. Thank you so much!
