I have been using Linux for about 5 years and although I don’t consider that I know much, I know enough to fix my own problems and that’s usually enough for me.
Since Plasma 6 was announced I wanted to test something other than XFCE, Gnome or Plasma (or any DE) so I give it a try with ArcoLinuxD i3wm and is increible the amount of things I learn the ‘hard way’ because there was no GUI to do the things I want to do, or maybe I was too lazy to do it with the terminal since there is always the ‘easy way’.
Things that might be very easy for a lot of people, but I never take the time to learn, like mounting drives, running programs from startup, setting environment variables, creating desktop entries, and a lot of other things I didn’t even remember. I even learned to use things that used to give me a headache just looking at it, like Vim, xdg, the Archwiki (that is super useful) and the manpages.
It’s ironic because something that started as an experiment is now my daily drive, and now that Plasma 6 has been released, I don’t want to leave i3 behind.
i totally get you there! I have been piddling around with proxmox for a month or so now, and learning docker, I don’t even have to put portainer on every instance i set up these days!
I am excited for plasma 6 though for sure! I reckon i’ll spin up a VM to try it out!
I’ve been interested in getting into Proxmox. How does it compare to Portainer?
Well,
Portainer puts a GUI on top of running docker. Which lives in the terminal usually.
Proxmox puts a GUI on a Debian Linux build specifically made to stand up VMs and Linux containers, which I then put docker ( and sometimes portainer) on
Proxmox seems awesome!
I see. Thanks! :)
