Spoken like a true rebel. My respects.

After so many dislikes, any moderately smart person would start introspecting in where they went wrong.

Of course we do. We’re not animals.

Google enshitifying things? Who would have thought? Seriously, it’s as if they want to test how far they can go upsetting users. There’s got to be some (a lot?) of that, for sure.

Same here. Best part is that they even have non-Netflix media in that tier. Love it.

You have plenty of options. I use Unraid because I bought it before it became a subscription. But I have a friend running Fedora server with Cockpit and running everything from docker containers. The options are endless. ProxMox is a great choice.

For Android, Davx5 plus JTX board, and you’re set. Just use the contacts, calendar, tasks and journals apps you feel comfortable with. I use Etar calendar, for example.

I just use Syncthing with versioning, and that’s how I manage all my files and their versions.

That alone is a document management and file versioning system without the overkill of Nextcloud (which is debatable).

Jellyfin. I’ve been waiting for Plex to do this for years. Enshitification is everywhere.

You asked for a podcast client, so here’s AntennaPod.

I have it on auto backup and share the backup with all my other devices over Syncthing.

No need to self-host anything.

Any distros with Plasma or Cinnamon as it’s DE will do the trick. Linux Mint is a good starting choice.

In my case, I tinker quite a bit when I’m bored, and immutable distros, as well as atomic distros, raise barriers that I’d rather not have to jump over to have my fill of tinkering.

This started happening to my wife and me in 2 separate AMD computers about 3 months ago on Fedora 41,for no apparent reason.

I ended up switching to PopOS and my wife went back to Windows (she was dual booting).

We both came back to Fedora as soon as 42 was live, and have had no issues (yet).

We both use Fedora Workstation on Mutter, not i3, so could have been a different situation.

This blows my mind, honestly. Since I moved to Linux about 8 years ago, I’ve had little to no issues. No force of nature can ever make me go back to Windows and it’s constant crashing for no reason. I run PopOS on a PC, Fedora Workstation on my laptop, my wife is also in Fedora, kids too (Nobara), and everything works. Mind you, the only device that is “made for Linux” is my laptop.

Your experience is very out of the ordinary.

She’s an absolute darling, and super smart and knowledgeable.

I agree here. AdguardHome is way easier to configure and just have it work. Evidently, it’s always important to maintain, like any other software, but it is way less hands-on than PiHole.

I’m honestly more scared of portainer than actually running compose from CLI 🤣

I fail to understand the question mark at the end of your sentence.

Winblows 10 did the exact same bitlocker crap to my best friend and attorney.
