I thought it was obvious, 2026 is going to be the year of the Linux desktop.

It’s a writing thing they did so they didn’t have to swap actors all the time. The first book spans several generations after all.

Yeah, my first thought was it’s a, um, yeah, 4.8T. Then I realised my autism ruined the joke.

Don’t you need to use the metal straws some ridiculous amount of times before it saves more carbon than the plastic single use?

Also, plastic multi use is probably better.

Nintendo, you mean the law firm?

I want to do the Nix thing so bad. It’s tempting me but I don’t have any time for that.

That’s the beauty of it. You hate stuff but you can automate it away. You have a shortage but with more automation you can scale up 2x or 4x. You have logistic issues but you can use bots and when bots don’t cover it you can use rails.

We all want you to enjoy factorio maaaan. This game is magic.

You can tune the biters and make them spawn less, tech up slower etc.

IIRC you can also use the Rail world mode and turn the settings as if they are Normal mode since any cleared space will not respawn biters.

You can also turn up the resource richness and size so you have to expand less and then every now and then clear out an area. I used to be a bit turned off by the biters but now I’ve leaned into it and have have blueprints for making laser perimeter which kinda automates a lot of the biter handling.

Maybe you just need a mindset shift where the biters are another automation challenge instead of it being an intrusion. I really hope you get to enjoy this game, I can’t anymore since I have a baby now but I hope you can. I’ll for sure start again as soon as time allows.

Also, aim for 100% roboport coverage so you can automatically rebuild everything that gets destroyed. Then you can clear out something, paste a perimeter wall and continue on with factory stuff.

I’d recommend starting by hosting a nextcloud instance.

1. Get a desktop computer, pretty much anything will do but having room to add more HDD is important.
2. Install Linux distro like Ubuntu or something
3. Get a static IP so your IP doesn’t change
4. Setup a router port forwarding rule so that an outside address points to your nextcloud instance.

Then do some optional steps:

• Automatically turn on PC when power comes back on (BIOS setting)
• Startup script that runs nextcloud on startup
• Install docker to manage services like nextcloud
• Add some remote desktop thingy to manage your server from your laptop (ssh is also good but a steeper learning curve)
• Get a NAS for storing data with redundancy.
• Have some other form of backup like your current Google account, cloud provider or one of your mates with a similar setup.

That’s pretty much what you need to start hosting your own files, then later on you can setup a email server, media server like Jellyfin, homepage and everything.

Just go one step at a time and when you hit an issue you can and should ask Google or ChatGPT. Remember, everything exposed to the Internet is vulnerable so take security seriously. Always have everything protected by a decently long password, pairing requirement with your server confirming adding a device or an API key.

It depends on the distro. Bazzite might get in the way since it’s a more closed distro if you want to do docker stuff. I personally managed but setting up extra hard drives that docker (podman) uses, but it was tricky. You’ll not have issue browsing the Web or installing most apps though.

Nobara might be a good choice although the user base is not that big so you might have to migrate in a couple of years.

Otherwise I’d stick to regular distros since they have great support and will stick around for a long time such as Fedora or Kubuntu. I’ve also heard Endavour is really good these days.

You should consider choosing a distro based on the Wayland integration since you can get HDR fractional scaling and variable refresh rate with them.

Then it all made sense in the end of course
