A great question. First of all, all of my services run with docker compose and use volumes for their config storage which get backed up regularly. Then I just use markdown files organized by having a separate file for each service. Basically anything I would need to reproduce my setup on a new machine is what I try to write down. All the docs and compose yaml files are versioned in git. I usually realize I left out info later on and add it as it occurs to me, typically if I have to set up the services on a new machine. This all applies to any software that needs more than a little config, not just apps hosted for the purpose of other machines using them. It’s a very imperfect process, but it’s a ton better than what I used to do which was think “eh I’ll remember how it’s setup”. I rarely would remember all the key details.

Pretty asshole post, ngl

I don’t care if someone oversimplified it that way in a wikipedia article. That doesn’t make it the full story. Notice the modifier “central” in any case.

Uh, Microsoft got in trouble for making their browser an unremovable part of the operating system, and aggressively trying to force you to use it as a browser. Not remotely accurate to say the problem was just including a web browser. And in the end, they got barely any punishment for it.

Weird how so many people equate “post I don’t like” with “ai” now.

Woah, mint is still on x11? Yikes, I didn’t realize that, if that’s true.

Yeah I’m not saying it’s the worst distro, I just don’t think my multiple experiences with it remotely align with the reputation.

Regarding the UI, I think people want familiarity and even think they want something with a design like that. But in practice the similarities are only skin deep and to me if they’re already going to need to learn all the ways it differs from windows, why not put the same effort into learning something that also varies superficially from windows (just in a different way than mint)?

I think the real reason people recommend mint is, while deep down they know users will have a better time on Ubuntu, they cannot stand the idea of recommending that company’s product directly.

GNOME is fucking great. Anyone can complain about it in a valid way, but to me it’s light-years above KDE and it’s kinda between KDE and GNOME if you want to maximize compatibility with a huge number of apps.

Me either. I have tried it multiple times over the years and I did not have great luck with things “just working” as everyone claims. Plus I hate the windows style DE UIs so it seems like a weird choice that so many people will recommend it and tout it without even asking follow up questions.

Alright I get it now. Thanks.

Thanks. Is this a special interest of yours? I realize now that it was you who has been posting this repeatedly, and with random seemingly unrelated images alongside it.

I was actually looking for an answer.

I was more talking about the bizarre twisted testicle image that keeps getting reposted

What is this and why does it get posted every two hours?

Nazis don’t last long on Lemmy. Enjoy your brief trolling stint.

Yeah they’re a Nazi and they will probably get banned soon.
