Well, when I moved to the AIO, the documentation was plain wrong on several points. I submitted a bunch of changes that I had to do to make it work and they worked those changes in for the most part. Now it seems pretty workable, as a friend of mine used it to set his instance up and said it seemed to go fairly smoothly.

Jesus, that escalated quickly…

And here I am having used it for a decade and perfectly happy. I try other ones like Owncloud every once in a while and find them lacking. It was slow once upon a time but if you changed to postgres and used redis, it improved immensely. Today it’s quite fast and the sync has been working great for a long time.

Use docker-compose with the AIO and it’ll be a lot easier to manage. There’s example compose files in the github repo.

journalctl -xb-1 where 1 is last boot, 2 is boot before that, etc.

Fedora’s KDE is bulletproof on any of my installed systems (8 or 9 of them, completely different hardware including AMD). Now Kubuntu, on the other hand, has always been a shitshow, I’ve never had it work right for more than a couple days at a time.

I’ve been using the Collabora option for the mastercontainer since the start of the AIO, it’s worked well for my users.

Atomic distros update in a monolithic block and if it fails, it’s as if no part of it occurred.

Immutable distros have a readonly filesystem and you can’t change any part of the system without explicitly remounting the files to write, then doing your updates. It’s not necessarily atomic when that update occurs, either.

You don’t need to layer or containerize applications you install in an atomic system, you can install an application as normal with the system package manager, it just has to complete successfully to be installed, then it becomes part of the overall A/B update system.

Immutable distros need to containerize the installations, or use layering to apply applications to the underlying RO filesystem, which makes installing software rather a pain in the ass at times.

OP keeps using the word “atomic” but the questions and explanation are more about “immutable”. And my answer to them about why wouldn’t I use an immutable system is pretty much the last, installing/updating/troubleshooting non-system software is a pain in the ass. On a dev station, it’s a nightmare.

I wonder if OP and about 3/4 of the people in here understand the difference between atomic and immutable.

This is the way.

Man, I’ve built several of my own printers, and bought a few more over the years. Auto bed leveling was an absolute game changer, even on bought printers. The days of doing the paper slide trick can go away forever as far as I’m concerned.

I remember building the kernel with the NE2000 drivers and having a network card for just installation and getting the 3com or RTL driver source over to the new install, then compiling those drivers, installing them, and downing the system to put the proper card in. There was a very small subset of sound cards and video cards that worked reliably. The notion that Linux was the OS where hardware just worked out of the box was ludicrous.

The DEs were pretty horrible and the software to use on them was scant. So desktop Linux was a pipe dream. I used Linux entirely as a security/server appliance. I built a couple hundred iptable/ipchains firewalls for businesses out of recycled pentium type desktops until hardware firewalls became a thing, it was fairly lucrative for a while there.

Ha, I still use rods for certain things.

Belts look tight, but a good inspection of them and their pulleys might tell you something.

Hold your horses, I’ll get to you next.

Commute gone down?

I listen a lot because I’m either working where I need ear defenders and so I listen on BT headphones, or I’m in a combine/tractor. I’d be bored AF without podcasts.

Dammit, that’s one of my favorite podcasts.

Support had been dwindling and ad revenue is nearly non-existent for Linux podcasts, so I totally understand why. Still, too bad. I guess I’ll bump my donation to Late Night Linux since I can’t really find another self-hosted podcast that’s worth listening to.

IDK if you heard about Bambu’s enshittification, an alternative that’s very similiar in price and design is Qidi.

Not as confusing as Debian though.

I can get notification to ntfy, but I’m not sure if the app is certain to blow my phone up until I notice it, which is my goal. Frankly, if I could trigger the Presidential Alert, I would do that.
