Finally starting my self hosted journey. I have everything I need I'm setting up a 6tb nas for linux iso's photos and files. And I recently got a "broken" laptop that works perfectly fine that I will use for running all my applications in proxmox such as immich, jellyfin and nextcloud. And probably many others in the near future.

Consider that with the latest hardware your processor is under 1% or 2% load running a bloat machine like windows even if you used the lightest weight distro without any desktop environment at all the maximum possible performance gain would be 1% or 2%.

Shouldn't torrents be used for large files?

Any word, if you look at it for long enough.

OK so a lot of people are recommending bazzite. I have been using it for a while and I do not recommend it. Mainly due to the fact you more or less can't install any program other than through the software centre unless you use a vm with the included "box buddy" program which for me has been very hit and miss for which programs work.

Go ahead and try bazzite for yourself but I would recommend either fedora or Linux mint both with the xfce desktop since a lightweight desktop seams to be what your looking for.

Kubenetes or k3s and some volunteer computing programs. Or mine monaro to offset the power bill of your other servers.

I honestly don't see the big deal with people hating on proton. It's still open source it's still encrypted and doesn't mine your data that seams to check most of the boxes for me. The only problem I had with it was the default main client which shows upgrades to go unlimited all the time but I just use Thunderbird now.

Hi everyone, I am looking for an encrypted messaging service to start using and recommending to my friends and family, I really want to get this right the first time. At the moment I'm looking at using matrix I really like it's bridges and federated nature, Although I'm not 100% sure about it's ux.

What I want to ask is what messaging service do you use and do you have any regrets with it? What encrypted messaging service would you recommended?

Edit: I just had another question are any of the bridges in matrix end to end encrypted? If person A used matrix and person B used signal could person A use a bridge to talk to person B securely?

Edit 2: thanks for all the responses guys it looks like signal seams like the best option since it has really good security like many other messaging apps but it's also easy to use.

I am a Linux beginner/amateur and I have sort of had enough of copy and pasting commands I find on the internet without having a good understanding of how they actually work.

I guess my end goal is to be able to comfortably install and use arch Linux with my own customization's and be able to fix it when things go wrong.

What tips/ideas do you have for getting better at navigating the terminal, and getting a better understanding of how the os works. What is a good roadmap to follow? And how did you, advanced Linux user, get to the stage your at now?

Edit: my current distro is bazzite just in case you were interested and thanks for all the replies you are all really helpful.
