  • Yeah I originally trying to daily Linux for like the past 10 years but kept falling back to Windows, mainly due to the app compatibility.

    A lot of people suggested dual booting but I found that it messed up disrupted my workflow, and Level 2 hypervisors were too slow to be practical

    What finally made Linux stick for me was Proxmox… it let daily Linux and still have the option to quickly spin up a Windows VM with a GPU if I needed something urgently, without the hassle of rebooting.

    So now, six months later, I’m dailying Arch and also self-hosting a bunch of stuff on Debian, and I haven’t looked back.

    I think it’s about convenience.

    Yes, I have noticed a trend of homelab hobbyists going back to something like this:

    1. Soulseek -> Nicotine+ for plentiful, lossless content
    2. Jellyfin for self-hosting
    3. Infuse for streaming the content remotely to save storage on your phone.

    I don’t endorse piracy for ethical reasons, but I get why this is trending up:
    -Increasingly aggressive pricing models
    -Service quality and content accessibility going down

    Really makes it hard for consumers…
