I work in tech and am constantly finding solutions to problems, often on other people’s tech blogs, that I think “I should write that down somewhere” and, well, I want to actually start doing that, but I don’t want to pay someone else to host it....
I believe Oracle is still offering to slice off a bit of compute for free that should accomplish OP’s goal. I’ve used it to test a Jellyfin host among other things and for the price it can’t be beat!
From my limited understanding it’s based on Debian instead of Ubuntu (which is based on Debian). The purpose is to have a fallback in the event Canonical snaps Ubuntu out of existence.

Just here to spread the cult of systemd-boot. Reject the illness that GRUB hath wrought upon our people and extend your mastery over even the bootloader itself.
Truthfully, I don’t know what the secret sauce is. In my experience: system d boot is very simple and allows us to hook directly into the bootloader without any fuss. GRUB seems to be an operating system of its own and windows knows how to hook into it if you will.
If you’re not using your pihole as a recursive DNS server that is a natural next step that ties neatly into where you’ve already gone. Wireguard can also easily run next to it if you want a lightweight VPN for when you’re away from your network.
Are there good Microsoft word alternatives that support Linux (I don’t mind closed source)? Libreoffice is meh and only office is quite good, but are there any better ones? Also, is there a way to install word on Linux using wine? When I do that my laptop just overheats and loses internet connection.
Hey all. I’m using arch linux and after trying to fix my fonts to get nicer icons etc. in the terminal i’ve made a mess 😔 Any ideas on how to uninstall all the fonts and start fresh?

Sorry that all I can do is let the air out a bit op. Hopefully someone will swoop in to teach us both something before too long.
Bluetooth audio is my least favorite part of using Linux and it seems like my coworkers agree. I hear a lot of praise for pipewire, but it doesn’t match what I experience. Does any system work well for anyone?...
So I’ve recently moved over to using my Pixel buds pro almost full time and am hoping you stoke a convo here to revisit.
KDE Connect affords us the ability to fire off commands from a phone to do any number of things. One use case of mine is to disconnect/reconnect Bluetooth devices from the desktop since it is greedy and tends to bogart my earbuds when playback stops on other connections. This has worked pretty well so far but with that in mind, I have only just started playing around with things and so I look forward to refining the experience with other utilities.
That said, I find Bluetooth is buggy on almost every OS out there (Android is constantly in what feels like a state of repair…)
Best of luck!
my current desktop is a modified version of GNOME with a red accent color!! It took a lot to install because I also used Xfce a little bit but I prefer the classic new GNOME.
