Papers please. Having fun so far doing the story

Wait and see you distrohopping every month for years ending up in a boring stable distro.

In Brazil I only see more and more places adopting it, does not seem a failure

To be honest, no. I run in a Truenas Jail, and its stable for me. Just a bit slow for big files sometimes.

2024 will be the year of ARM on desktops!

I host it in a Truenas BSD Jail, and the process was as straightforward as compiling and running any other Rust / Postgres project. Which error did you get?

If you remove the app-platform role from Nextcloud by separately hosting the individual apps, what benefit do you get from having both Nextcloud and File Browser?

Nothing really. For almost any Nextcloud feature out there, you can find a server app that does the same.

But that’s the point in my opinion. I don’t want to waste time managing tons of apps if I can manage one Nextcloud instance. Nextcloud basically decides for me what’s the best way to get those features running, so I don’t need to figure out myself.

Now if you’re into self hosting one container for each feature, go for it, no reason to not do so.

An open source alternative is FRP

It’s a reverse proxy server that you install in both your server and a VM in the cloud, and it tunnels your server over the VM, like Cloudfare solution.

Why don’t you install flatpak on Ubuntu, make the packaging migration before doing the OS migration so you can evaluate your workflow with the new packaging system? Afer you’re used and confident with flatpak, backup and restore the flatpak folder into fedora and you transition should be smoother (don’t need to worry with 2 stuff at the same time)

Stray. It’s an awesome game to play casually, lots of fun pluzzes.

As an addition to other responses, think that most apps (specially smaller ones) are developed using some framework or set of libraries that might or might not support those protocols.

So let’s pretend that I have an app buit using Electron and that framework does not support Wayland. There’s nothing I can do on the app side until Electron supports Wayland in this fake example.

So it actually takes time for the libraries to support the new protocol and then app developers to update their apps to support it aswell.

That’s why you see that the Wayland migration is incremental and not all at once.

I decided to get back into Minecraft to try to finish the End Dragon

What I do nowadays is to have Timeshift daily backups in case something breaks the system and the Ubuntu backup application doing daily backups of my home to my NAS. I don’t have a separate home partition although this is often recommended.

This setup saved me once, but I haven’t needed it for almost 2 years now.

Doesn’t windows ship with a native email client? I don’t use Windows but I remember an email app on it.

Of course you can use a reverse proxy to expose your apps to the internet.

Here’s another similar solution that you can self host in a cheap cloud VM:

https://github.com/fatedier/frp

First of all you need that your ISP actually gives you an IP that points back to your home network. It’s not uncommon that your IP points to some ISP NAT that routes the internet to many houses, making it impossible to expose some device in your network to the internet.

It was my case, then I needed to call them and ask to have an IP that goes directly to my gateway.

After that you can go to your gateway and do port forwarding from the internet to your server in your home. For example, you can forward port 80 from internet to your server private IP on port 80, so when someone browsers your IP it will get whatever page is hosted on your server.

About server tech specs, it depends on what you want to host. I used to host a personal Nextcloud server in a raspberry pi, which is really power efficient and cheap to maintain. Maybe you’ll want a server with higher specs that might draw more power. It’s really up to what you wanna do specifically.

Canonical also tried this a few years ago with their Ubuntu Touch crowdfunding and failed. Even released some convergent devices but that didn’t sell much. My impression is that although the concept is cool it is simply not appealing for the general audience

They sell a bunch of models with Ubuntu pre installed in Brazil also. Not every model / configurations, but even gaming laptops are available here.

If I remember correctly they also released a bunch of games in Wii u last year

I started with a pi 4 and it worked really well!
