  • Yes I already use the Fedora KDE Spin right now, it’s awesome!

    I didn’t know that it uses X11 because Fedora uses Wayland already for a few major releases.

    I think I found a solution for your problem recently. Are you familiar with distrobox? AFAIK you can use it on top of your OS, in this case Tumbleweed, and install another OS in a container, like Arch, and then export the programs installed from AUR or whatever to your host OS.

    But nonetheless thank you, I think I should just try it out in a virtual machine or something.
















  • Alright, I would like a NAS and (separated) a server with some small services (pi-hole or adguard, syncthing, jellyfin (getting the data from the NAS), and so on). I thought about running the small services with docker on a RPi 4 and the NAS on a refurbished business PC with SATA drives in the case (I checked ebay and there are mainboards with 4 SATA III connectors and PCI so I could even add more SATA connectors). In a second moment a backup server (maybe with borg) would be a good idea but I could also do manual backups with an external USB HDD for the time being. And I have a tight budget.

    This describes what I’d like to do. Budget is low and I don’t have a lot of hardware laying around. For the capacity I don’t know yet but for sure 6tb to start with. I’d like to try RAID (heard a lot, never tried it yet) and another backup (maybe something for the future).
