Feel free to ask any kind of support questions, as we grow more succinct answers will be available. Let's make this community grow.

We are important to one another, not only in the linux world but also in the fediverse as a whole. Feel free to reach out to me with questions or concerns, as we grow bigger I will look into adding mods. (This section will be updated as needed.)

Alright everyone, let’s get this party started. The title asks the question pretty well. What is the main use of your Linux install? Is it gaming, programming, just to dump windows etc…

Let’s have some fun everyone.

I'm using it at work for development. At home I'm daily driving tumbleweed for gaming and whatnot. I have a few servers running proxmox with various VMs for self hosting

As someone is wanting to set up their own self hosted server is it pretty simple to set up?

So, my work had OpenStack, and I started reading about that, and I was like, "I want that! Just, VMs on tap, try out any server software, abstracted storage. Cool."

I spent, like, two years trying to get a simple three machine OpenStack working.

Proxmox? Got 'em all working in less than an afternoon.

That said, I'm still figuring out the quirks. But if you have a spare old box kicking around, it's actually easier to set up Proxmox and then try the Turnkey containers for this and that then actually installing whole bare metal servers. Serious fun.

Guess I’ll have to try it. Been talking to the wife about making a tower a dedicated home server and maybe even opening it up to the net. But I won’t do that until it is properly locked down for wide open internet access. If at all.
