Here we go! Congrats to the System76 team!

If you have a computer background already then dive in! For a gaming rig try PopOS or Nobara.

PopOS is Ubuntu based and used Gnome. They’re hard at work on a new custom DE that appears Gnome-like. PopOS is made by hardware company System76 to improve upon Ubuntu’s support of newer hardware they wish to sell.

Nobara is Fedora based and recently switched to KDE Plasma which aligns with the Steam Deck. Nobara is specifically tweaked for gaming.

I’ve used it in a VM just to mess around. I’d like to install it on an old ThinkPad and try to compile some applications.

Hi, Brent!

Edge > Chrome. I use it at work. Much better.

My experience has been that LibreOffice will not correctly render my .csv files when they are above a certain size. Not talking about big data here either like a few thousand rows. For this reason I use OnlyOffice instead.

Our household recently picked up a Zojirushi bread machine. We must eat gluten free for medical reasons and GF bread from the supermarket is very expensive around $9 for a mini loaf of bread that crumbles and molds. We are finding it very cost effective to make our own breads.

What do you want to self host? To learn or experiment buy a cheap old x86 box. I get mine at goodwill auction. Otherwise desktop is good if you want something that needs more compute and that you’d spin up as needed vs always on.

Pop!_OS runs great on my intel MBP.
