My 4 host machines run debian (proxmox). I have a lot of different guest flavors running though, debian, fedora, rocky, one old guest still running Ubuntu and even a mint sandbox machine.

I probably have a bit more complicated self host than others because I am using it both for my useful internal services (jellyfin, git, pihole, etc.) I also run a whole lot of services for learning, such as kubernetes and dns. Plus a whole lot of other mostly useless stuff that I only use to test different architectures or automations that come in handy as an SRE.

You’re lucky. I left FOSS dev because I got tired of my free time being abused by people like the one in your post

I call it d-bag for short.

It’s just the drama that IBM is causing in the redhat world. It makes me nervous.

Here I am regretting my decision to move from CentOS to rocky on my servers

I use Arch btw

…

The touchscreen working right out of the box is what surprised me.

I absolutely hated myself after installing Arch on one of my machines.

Then I discovered EndeavourOS… I still hate myself but at least my laptop works now.

think we’re dead (we’re not!)

Speak for yourself.
