  • Thanks for this. I’ve been eyeing archinstall but have held off until i find a cheap desktop to “destroy” testing things out.

    I’ve given Debian a spin and honestly don’t care too much for it, probably due to my first exposure to linux being arch-based (I refuse to say “I use arch btw” until i have more than a layman’s idea of everything). My experience with Fedora is limited to flashing Bazzite on my Steam Deck yesterday, so I’m still feeling around.

    I have a device running Ubuntu for my PiHole and that’s about it.

    This is the first time I’ve heard of TheLinuxExperiment, looks interesing so I’ll be sure to give it a watch on my off time.

    Anyway, thanks for taking the time to type this out. Cheers!


  • Not trying to change anything for the sake of change. The intent of my question was to try and get insight from people more experienced/knowledgeable than me on how to deepen my knowledge. So far distro-hopping and initial troubleshooting has been fun… and time consuming.

    Currently I’m in surface deep, looking to expand my horizons, and turning to the community for their two cents.


  • What method/software do you use to create/manage your backups? No need to get into the weeds if you don’t want to, I’ll look up the specifics on my own.

    What’s a mistake you made, if any, when backing up your systems?

    I’ve actually been on the hunt for a cheap desktop to turn into a media server but everyone around me is overvaluing their 12 year old hardware, might just bite the bullet and make one myself.
