  • I’m on Proxmox because I don’t have time to learn my way around my entire homelab, so I need tutorials and Proxmox has the biggest community. I use Coolify for easy deployments and testing software.

    Same thing with Docker, I don’t like it, but I can’t afford using an alternative yet.

    But I wish I could get away with using Ublue core + cockpit + podman quadlets + QEMU/KVM. But man, the Fedora & Cockpit docs are so newbie unfriendly, and the Cockpit community is pretty much non-existant compared to Proxmox. There’s no one doing tutorials for it on youtube, while you can find a new PVE tutorial every single day.

    My advice is go towards where your own priorities are. If you don’t want to support a certain mindset, just don’t. If you want to do it the manual way and learn everything you can, then go with Arch, they’ve got the greatest Linux wiki that has ever been written. If you want easy to follow tutorials stay with PVE. If you want an unbreakable system go with Ublue core or Ubuntu core (I’m personally not liking Canonical though).

    Follow your thirst for knowledge, In a few years you’ll be a pro.



  • I ran Arch for about a year and a half. It’s great, you get the freedom to do anything you want provided you have the time and will to learn. Bazzite is the exact opposite: you can’t do everything you might want, but you don’t need to learn anything, you can carelessly play around in the little playground they setup for you.

    I use Bazzite on my 2 desktop PCs, Aurora on my work laptop booting from an external 1tb nvme ssd via an usb-C m2 caddy.

    It’s pure bliss. I freaking love it. If Ublue ever disappears I’m fucked.




  • Bazzite ships Flathub unfiltered.

    Last update (which replaced Discover with Bazaar) changed that.

    so no taking a precompiled binary and shipping that.

    All FLOSS apps on Flathub are built on trusted platforms by default, in the open and verifiable. Same thing with Brew.

    Not including proprietary software in the default config is a valid choice every distro has to make.

    The sudden success of Bazzite comes from how easy it is to use.
