That's awesome. While I don't share your love for Debian, I'm glad it exists. Without it, we wouldn't have Ubuntu or Mint or a ton of other choices.

It's also amazing that it works, as-is, for some people. More options just means more possibilities for people to find something that works for them and that's what's important.

    Ever since docker became available, along with flatpak; the Linux running these became less of an issue for me

    Also a valid point. I still want to try Docker at some point, but I haven't really needed it yet.

    I have to use some programming tools and languages to code; installing them side by side and updating was a major hassle. Now I just have some aliases in command prompt.

    Docket desktop was a major religious experience for me; much easier than before

    I just want to learn to use it to make my home server easier to manage. But your use case does make perfect sense.

    And it sounds like in your case you need new and fancy, if I had to start over I would do arch

  • Honestly, the server runs pi-hole, which I wanna switch for Adguard Home at some point, and Syncthing. Really not much running, but if Docker makes it easier to update and manage I want to learn how it works.

    But yes, I do want new and shiny. Just because it's a very simple home setup that doesn't have to be absolutely rock-solid stable. Also helps me feel more at ease about security fixes and such.
