Also using fedora kde :D
I’ve just never encountered a problem with focus stealing or alt-tab issues and leave my drawing tablet/second display plugged in. My friend who runs side by side monitors also has no problems on their arch kde setup. Might just be a weird hardware+application combination problem for some
Edit: try digging in the kde focus settings, I think theres an option to tune focus steeling
Might just br a gnome issue and not a wayland one, KDE and wlroots based compositors do much better at fullscreening and alt-tabbing games then x11 ever did for me. Esspecially on my desktop that has a second monitor
Defaults are good for me but I like mounting my secondary drive to ~/Storage with subfolders media, projects, games
If your truely going the endevour route, here some tips on recoving from a broken state:
The archwiki is your friend, read the relevant pages before asking on forums
Install arch manually (no archinstall) and thoroughly read the wiki to understand how your system is put together. Then install endevour, just from doing a manual arch install you should have the knowlage to fix like 90% of issues
Learn the basics of systemD, will also help you on 99% of mainstream distros
Keep your /home directory on a seperate partition, useful for doing a system rescue and for distrohopping
Not sure what your exact requirements are, but these three should work great as simple upload and share embed link type servers :0
Lychee: My personal choice even for my entire photo library since I just like things to be simple
Pellicola: Self discribed as “Pastebin for your photos”
Media Goblin: Lets you view more then just photos, might replace my lychee for non-photography use
Anything 8th gen or newer is going to run everything you need and then some. Ive seen people using that mini-pc as a full gigabit router even!
The previous comment talking about price to preformance of mini PCs is somewhat correct if were talking anout buying new, but absolutly wrong about buying used/refurbed. Regular PCs are widly more popular meaning they hold onto their price better. For selfhosting a used/refurbed mini-pc is probably the best form factor you can get when starting out
Write POSIX scripts for portability*, maintainability doesn’t depend much on the shell
POSIX for the system, Fish for the interaction is how I like my OS :3
Endevour to Debian to Alpine. Planning on the move to Guix when I have some free time…
Maybe one day I’ll hit true neckbeard and daily Redox lol
Why not just use a bluetooth or 2.4g remote?
Microsoft offically supports and encourages using windows in a VM and container tho? It’s massivly important for developers and server admins to be able to do. Even regardless of that, they’d still prefer you to run a windows vm and keep their OS as a core dependency of your computing life
Krohnkite has a float mode (basically just disable) aswell as a float specific window. Unfortunately I cant access my desktop until much later but when I do I’ll grab the specific instructions
Should be under keyboard -> shortcuts -> window management(or something similar) -> krohnkite float
Keybind the floating layout in settings and it will act as a toggle! (Taskbar button I dont have a solution for tho) However krohnkite still isnt anywhere near the polish of an actual tiling wm unfortunately
The Anubis repo has an enbyware emblem fun fact :D
Apparently my experiance has been the outlier here but I’ve seen a ton of MX talk in the last year. Even to the point of it being somewhat commonly recommended alongside mint for beginners but on older hardware
I think you misunderstand the point of atomic still. Your base system should be installed entirely through ublue or other. Every time you update ublue will hash it and you can go back to that exact config with a working base system. Flatpaks and distrobox are user applications and should store all the data they need somewhere under your /home. Back up your /home and /etc with rsync or similar. When all is said and done your be able to recreate your system with ublue, and restore your configs and personal files with rsync.
The advantages of ublue is you can easily share or restore your base system without needing to backup gigabytes of data every update
Authelia + lldap(lightweight ldap) has been a really nice and powerful setup that negates the need for authentik for me. Authelia and authentik have diffrent goals tho, authelia is by design less powerfull and has a much smaller code base so that independent teams can audit the code themselves and a “set and forget” type configuration. Authentik is targeted at being an enterprise solution with all the bells and whistles. If you need those bells and whistles and dont want to use authentik try looking at keycloak (which also needs an ldap backend)
Why not just use MPV? It’s had the protocol supported since 0.4
Mommy.
Containers are ment to be used with docker networks making it a non-issue, most of the time you want your services to forward 80/443 since thats the default port your reverse proxy is going to call
