unfortunately there’s no rhyme or reason to the naming. which came first: bookworm, buster, or bullseye? They should just use numbers.

It was 1993, so not super impressed, but I needed a tex distribution, and PC dos tex sucked. The best option was a Nextcube, but that was a little out of reach being as much as tuition. Or use the x terminals in the crowded computer lab (shudder).
But I was able to keep that slackware install up and working just long enough to get my thesis done.
Separating the function of the backend out from the frontend
this is the way.
home server in basement running almalinux, which provides mythtv, plex library, homeassistant, calibreweb, podcast management
desktop/gaming pc in home office
chromecast/google tv in living room with kodi, plex, other streaming apps, steam link for streaming games from downstairs and using bluetooth xbox controllers
Tomb Raider 2013 reboot, although today the windows version under proton actually performs significantly better than the linux version
why not use fedora’s built-in openvpn client and just add the pia info? That should likely work. https://helpdesk.privateinternetaccess.com/guides/linux/linux-installing-openvpn-through-the-terminal
or built-in wireguard client? https://helpdesk.privateinternetaccess.com/guides/linux/alternative-setups-4/linux-manual-connection-scripts
DOS -> slack ware Linux -> win 3 -> os/2 warp -> win 98 -> win XP -> osx (several years on Mac) -> win 10 -> Ubuntu 14, 16, 18, 20 -> fedora 34, 35, 36 ,37, 38 -> Debian 12 --> fedora silverblue 40.
Looks interesting. Thanks!
Fair, but last time I tried them, the foss apps were awful. But that was several years ago so might be worth looking again

whelp, EPEL package updates are on a slightly different time trajectory for release, so almalinux update goes oopsie fail. gotta wait a little longer for that 9.4 goodness.
Debian: boring installer, bare-metal install completed in about 10 minutes
Almalinux: nice installer, bare-metal install completed in about 10 minutes
Opensuse: nice installer, bare-metal install completed in about an hour. WHYYYYYYYY?
ublue built zfs as a kmod.
DKMS isn’t supported on Silverblue. Only Kmods. So there’s your problem.

Even if you can get it to work, running ZFS on fedora generally is an exercise in frustration because the kernels update to newer versions than what ZFS supports anyway.
Ubuntu -> Fedora -> Debian stable (and lots of flatpaks) for my desktop. Ubuntu has only gotten worse with age, and I got tired of being on the leading edge and just want stuff to work (and I use ZFS so I don’t want rapidly upgrading kernels). For my home server Ubuntu -> Centos -> Almalinux
I gave up on Ubuntu before the snaps became a thing. Here’s what I hated :
Currently running debian with an amd GPU. Using the regular 6.1 kernel
With steam flatpak and bottles (for nonsteam windows games) everything is running just fine.
i like using bottles & steam flatpaks on debian because they use newer mesa in their containers. so the best of both worlds with stable debian but more updated gaming drivers
i switched from pihole to adguard because adguard is bsd compatible and runs on my opnsense router. for linux, the main benefit of adguard is that it is a self-contained app-image. pihole is a bit of a mess of packages that it installs (if installing on pc rather than a pi) , rather than being part of a distribution’s native ports. upgrading adguard is also trivial.
that arrangement on debian has worked well for me.
