What's so special about Arch? Why does it get memed on so hard? People say it has bleeding edge packages but why is that so important? Is it better for gaming or something? What makes it different from Mint?

Why are these things still made and used? Most phones don't include a slot for them, and they're the only device small (if modern phones can even be called that) enough to justify using them over a full size card. I know the Switch and Steam Deck use them, but those are also big enough that they surely could've made them with full-size cards in mind

So they can charge you way more for a 1 TB model, and so you'll buy more than you need because you know you won't be able to simply jam a cheap SD card in it when you run low on storage.

Oppressed vs oppressor dichotomy.
And communist obsession with art, since it is one of the most clear-cut "own the means of production" activity there is (and is also romanticized because it produces no meaningful value most of the time).
They also like it because they can use it to get a reaction out of right-leaning people.
AI "steals" from them, gives everyone access to art in a mediocre level and enriches the "bourgeois" class.

My plan is to bridge a Raspberry Pi directly to my gaming PC via Ethernet, establishing it as a resident SSH host. This allows me to keep a headless Linux distro of the month or what have you permanently active—a dedicated TUI environment just one terminal window away, effectively giving the Linux system a Windows host for its "head".
Thus I can make each pi a science tool I plug in!
My programmer pi 3 always plugged in. My audio pi, video pi, music pi in a cabinet somewhere.

At this point, I wont even use any desktop environment on linux if it isn't X11. Even XFCE is dead to me because it has wayland support. I will never support anything wayland based on linux.
I'm X11 pilled.

My impression is that X11 is old and stable while Wayland is new, and still in development.
Either way neither gave me too much issues, and if I couldn't find a solution to something on wayland I likely wasn't able to on X11 either.

READ THE (temp)WIKI! & help by contributing:
https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

Does qbittorrent have a memory leak and why does it freeze my entire server requiring a restart when adding a torrent sometimes?
>>
>>107709195
i run qbittorrent in a docker container
it freezes when it checks and moves the torrents after completion but it has never required a restart due to it
>>
>>107709542
I also use docker, It doesn't always crash when adding a torrent but it likes to rape my memory and lockup the entire server. I think it also does this when downloading nothing. I have had something locking it up requiring restarts for weeks now, I can hardly get 2 days of uptime currently
