Get started with a Linux server and then I’d go with something like Nextcloud in a Docker container. Then do reverse proxy, nginx on the host is very easy. You can get and update SSL certs with certbot (Let’s Encrypt).

I have an MSI laptop and MSI motherboard in a PC. Didn’t have any specific compatibility issues, and I’m running Linux on both. You can update the BIOS with an usb stick straight from the BIOS. There’s not really anything that 100% requires Windows.

Garuda works differently. You use garuda-update instead of pacman, and it takes care of just about everything for you. So, for example, if you have something like needing to uninstall a package because it was split (like linux firmware), garuda-update just takes care of that for you (after they update the scripts, which takes at most a week usually)

+1 for Garuda. It’s nice that they have their own way of updating (garuda-update), which also handles situations like this one. It was very satisfying to not have to do anything when the linux-firmware change happened a couple of weeks back.

Oh, also snapshots by default are a chef’s kiss

Oh boy do I have a tree to sell you

Granted, but you can never turn back

The one thing though… There’s room left for performance optimizations. The main downside of my initial Linux testing was that the performance wasn’t as great as what’s been reported under Windows 11 with the official Radeon Windows driver.

I’d love to see some actual numbers. I’m considering getting one for myself, but I’m unsure about how they will perform for the first couple of months until we get proper support

For some reason, all Lemmings seem to have a constant hate boner for him. I don’t like him, but this is just taking it to a whole new level…

2025 edit: I would like to retract my previous statement. I get it now.

Ah, yes. Wishing death to pets… Truly a lemmy moment it seems
