Lettuceeatlettuce, 1 year ago to linux in Thoughts on this?

I run a bunch of Linux servers, multiple desktop instances, manage multiple IT clients, and took my first Linux certs working with Systemd management, all for years now.

But I’ll be sure to switch away from systemd when it becomes an issue…

Lol once you taste the forbidden fruit of media freedom, everything else tastes sour.

Lettuceeatlettuce, 1 year ago to linux in I have started using fedora silverblue

I need to play around with Silverblue and other immutable distros. Been considering them for a family member that is interested in switching to Linux.

Glad it’s been good to you so far!

Lettuceeatlettuce, 1 year ago to selfhosted in Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times

When I first deployed Nextcloud, it was just like this. Random crashes, lockups, weird user signin issues, slow and clunky.

But one day it just started working and was super stable. I didn’t do anything, still not sure what fixed it lol.

I just scream-laughed at this! xD

My experience with Proton has been really great so far. Constant steady improvements to their services and UI/UX, I wish I had switched to them sooner.

Interesting design, I’ll look at it, thanks!

Lettuceeatlettuce, 1 year ago to selfhosted in Suggestions for Short Rack Mount Case

Yeah, seems like there isn’t a big group of folks that are looking for this kind of solution.

I’ve thought about designing a case to my specs that could be 3D printed or maybe be built with some very basic steel sheet, but that’s more DIY than I have time for right now.

Thanks for the link!

Lettuceeatlettuce, 1 year ago to linux in What's your experience with a touchscreen laptop on your distro?

I’ve owned a Thinkpad A485 with touchscreen for years and had several Linux distros on it including Manjaro and Linux Mint which I am currently using.

Never had any issues, touchscreen always works out of the box without me having to do anything extra. In fact, with a few distros, I’ve had issues with certain wireless mice, but my touchscreen always has worked. So I’ve actually had slightly better luck with the laptop touchscreen than some external mice lol.

Now a qualifier: I rarely use the touchscreen, and when I do, it’s always just to click something or scroll on an article or file list. I don’t do any special gestures or fancy touch functions, so I can’t speak to support from that perspective.

Also an option I am considering. I prefer something a little more professional if possible, but not a bad option if I can’t get something else to work.

I’ll take a look at the 45 Drives case, thanks!

Thanks for the link! Yeah, I’m starting to think I might just need to give up and get a deeper floor rack.

Lettuceeatlettuce, 1 year ago to selfhosted in Suggestions for Short Rack Mount Case

Back end is open but wall-mounted. If there is a way to mount the case forward a few inches so it leaves a gap in the back, that would be fine with me.

I haven’t found any brackets that seem to do that though.
