usually I get a lot of my info from youtube channels I like to watch; just seeing what they’re up to and if it’ll be relevant to me or just entertainment. some channels I enjoy are hardware haven, raid owl, techno tim, and christian lempa. I’m not super knowledgeable and also pretty new to self hosting but these guys have helped me a lot so I figure I pass em on and hope you gain from their knowledge as well!

seconded for bazzite. I just came from cachyos (arch based) because it was missing a wayland component to make vr work. I had bazzite on my steam deck already so I figured I’d give it a shot on my pc. everything I wanna do works with minimal to no tinkering required, and I’m glad to know if I break something I can easily roll back in grub.

I have adhd and have tried it, didnt feel very much at all except the world looked… brighter? but ive also have heard similar experiences from folks who are also adhd and have tried it.

one morning I was headed to school and I witnessed this one car driving a little erratically while on the highway, I managed to get past them but kept an eye on my rear mirror, less than a minute later they slammed into another car causing a crash.

that is kinda what I’m trying to do. truenas is nice and all but its also pretty advanced and not beginner friendly when it comes to a lot of things. I’ve heard a lot about casaos from a youtuber that I like to watch, but I never realized that it was more of a nas os than just a platform to run applications. I’ll give it a shot! thanks for the recommendation.

this seems to have worked, but whenever I go in in filebrowser everything is read only. any way to change this?

haven’t seen any comments mentioning connect yet, so that would be my recommendation. by far the most fully featured and smooth lemmy app imo and its my favorite. I’ve used most other apps but I always come back to connect because of all the different ways I can customize it and all the settings I can change that I simply don’t see in a lot of other apps.
