From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For me, I really want to get into niri, but the lack of XWayland support scares me (I know there’s solutions, but I don’t understand them yet).

Also, I stopped using Emacs (even though I love its design and philosophy with my whole heart) because it’s very slow, even as a daemon.

I want to learn stenography, but haven't really got to buying a keyboard designed for it. I also want to host an EteSync server, but the HTTPS thing has been a bit of a headache for me and I've mostly just left it sitting there.

There are alternatives if you want to host your calendar and contacts and sync them securely. You could use Radicale and put a reverse proxy in front of it (Nginx Proxy Manager makes it easy to set up and easy to get and renew certificates).

Thanks! I might use that, since I do already have Nginx Proxy Manager set up.

Virtual reality, but an old friend of mine has kindly offered to buy me an Oculus Quest 2 so I'm very much looking forward to what VR can offer.

One of my closest friends also did the same thing for me, I quite enjoy playing beat saber :)

I highly recommend Pistol Whip!

Nginx. I'm going to learn soon but I'm still new and it seems easy to screw up exposing things to the Internet.

Wayland on a 3070

Have you tried it with the recently released Nvidia drivers (I think its v555) yet? I hear the experience is greatly improved now that the drivers and compositors are both using explicit sync.

Virtual Machines, but I'm too dumb to figure it out.
