I fell it’s going to be a bad couple of months for everybody, not just Linux. It’s just with open source, it’s easier for the LLMs to find things that have been missed. And more open when they do because you can see the bug reports.

My first choice would still be Ubuntu, however if you don’t like them RHEL is available for free for homelab’s by jumping through some hoops.

Might also take a look at NixOS. Been running it for a while with no issues.

There have been many over the years. When I first discovered linux (shortly before linux 2.6 was released) it was RTFM (read the f*ing manual " and “each tool should do only one thing”.

I generally use micro on the terminal, kate or gedit in the GUI, depending. No hate towards the others, just what I’ve settled on over the years.

I like this idea. I’ve been doing pretty much the same thing for a while now, though it’s been a subdirectory of Documents.
