I wish you luck on your endeavors! 😁 Since I got recommend Proxmox it has completely changed my home-labbing experience for the better. It works great!
Feel free to ask if you have any questions about Proxmox and I will do my best to answer them. I am by no means an expert but I have a few peojects up and running and use NPMPlus to handle all the network routing.
If you want to host multiple things on that server I would suggest installing Proxmox VE. It’s Debian with everything necessary to create and manage containers and VMs. Everything is accessed from a Web interface and it’s super easy to access the terminals for the containers or use remote desktop for VMs you create.
The latest version added the ability to install docker images directly into Proxmox without needing Docker but if you prefer to use Docker then you can install Docker in a container and install your things in there.
Here’s a nice script to run afterwards to remove subscription nagging, remove enterprise repos that require subscription and add community repos.
https://community-scripts.org/scripts/post-pve-install
That site also has lots of amazing scripts to install and configure self-host projects!
A good project to try is Pelican if you want to have an easy way to create and manage game servers. It’s very simple to get the game servers up and running once Pelican is configured properly.
And when the people with the ability to reinstall an OS have all switched to Linux then the others will follow. I have already switched two laptops from Windows to Linux in my close family and they have had no complaints about it.
For my server I bought a domain on loopia.se and pay for no other features than the domain name. On the Loopia website I then changed the DNS nameserver to Cloudflare and use a script to update the IP of my network. Cloudflare has some package you can install on Linux to update the IP but I never tried it.
If you have around 100€ you can get a mini PC on eBay to start self-hosting all kinds of things. I have two at home with Proxmox installed and it’s very easy to use. Especially with the Community helper scripts to get containers installed and configured for a variety of self-hosted services.
A Lenovo Thinkcentre or HP EliteDesk Mini PC works perfectly as a home server. I use it to host game servers, Home Assistant, personal wiki, Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf, SearXNG, PiHole and more.
It could be both but it can also be neither of those things, depending on which furry you ask.
Sure, you might think it’s weird and annoying to say something like that in an introduction. But please enlighten me, how is being Queer a kink? And how is a man wanting to wear women’s dresses a kink? If thinking of queer- and transpeople makes you horny/angry then that’s your problem. They have a right to exists.
Why are you so triggered and scared of people being different? People have a right to express and be themselves.
Kinky shit should stay out of the public, but that goes for everyone. Not just LGBTQ+ people.
Everyone is partial or biased in some way. What’s your point? Do you seriously believe that all the information you consume is impartial?
Saying something about yourself as an introduction is custom. Mentioning that you are queer is not weird or political. It someone sharing a fact about themselves. Me saying that I like girls is also not a political statement. It’s a fact/trivia about me.
The fact that LGBTQ+ people get shit for just existing in society is fucked up and that’s the problem.
Why does it matter if it’s impartial or not? Just go read the thread on Ubuntu discourse if you want to verify the information? It’s all there. The mod fucked up. Simple as that. It’s good that someone brought this to light.
If you are an EU citizen then you need report this to the consumer protection services.
Here are some links I have found. There might be better ways to contact them but this is what I got for now. Feel free to correct me or add more ways to make our voices heard.
If you are unsure about the problem, you can contact the European Commission at: comp-market-information@ec.europa.eu or write to:

I am using qemu with virt-manager gui and it works well
When it comes to Arch the wiki is your friend. It will tell you if additional configuration is required to get your packages working and what other dependencies can be installed. If something isn’t working properly then the wiki probably knows why.
Arch comes with no drivers and additional packages by default. You need to install them manually. But you don’t need to install every package for your system manually. If you need glibc it will most certainly get pulled down as a dependency.
You don’t need to know every part of the system to use arch but you need to be interested enough to learn how your system works if something is not working or you want to configure your system in a certain way.
For starters I would recommend going with something Arch-based like Garuda or EndeavorOS if you want to learn Arch. I started off with my Steam Deck and later Garuda on my desktop. Once I was comfortable enough around Arch I decided to install vanilla Arch (manually, the wiki way) in a VM. When installing my system I wrote down every command I used and from that it snowballed in to my own install script for arch. That taught me a lot.
Arch is a make it yourself distro. It comes barebones and you install what you need (which in my opinion gives better knowledge about your system). And the packages are up-to-date which is good if you are gaming.
If you don’t like to tinker then Arch may not be for you. Something arch-based could be a better fit. Like Garuda or EndeavourOS.
It works on Nvidia without hardware acceleration
Edit: at least on Arch
Wow… That’s quite a reach… I don’t understand why you would think that is what I am implying. I am just saying that there needs to be a way to deal with abusive content. Every platform has it, even 4chan and 8chan and other degenerate places on the internet.
I’m all about free speech and the right to privacy but that does not equal free reign to post whatever the fuck you want without consequences. I am not saying we need to persecute or track people but there has to be a way to remove stuff that is inappropriate or illegal.
Do you really want a social media platform where someone could spam CSAM and it would stay on there forever?
How are you planning to deal with the removal illegal content?
I like the idea of a decentralized web but when I tried ZeroNet I saw some despicable stuff on there.
If you do nothing about such content then your platform lost likely will end up as a pedofile haven.
My stepmoms aunt had a super slow laptop with Windows that I took and installed Linux Mint on and she is super happy with it. It’s like a brand new computer for her!
She only uses her computer to pay bills and check Facebook and she haven’t called me once to complain. She only tells me that it’s working great.
I plan to install Linux Mint for my mom too in the future. I don’t think my dad would be able to handle it tho. He barley know his way around the computer but he knows enough to do his work and I don’t want to mess up his workflow.
I am not sure if it required a blob or not but I use an ASUS USB-BT500 on my Arch system and I only installed the bluez package for it to work (and bluedevil for the GUI on KDE).
Why is this not a prompt asking if you would like to uninstall? It should be my choice, not googles choice, to uninstall apps.
