Setup v1 (as of 2023-07-11) (I’ll add a diagram here later, but for now, here’s a bullet-point representation) Main desktop Running Fedora Kinoite 38 Runs 3 containers (via Toolbx) Dev container Running Fedora 38 (container version) Contains all the additional packages I need for software development Play container Running Fedora 38 (container version) Primarily for running games (on Steam) Utils container Running Alpine Linux Edge (container version) Home server (repurposed old laptop) Running Rocky Linux 9 Runs 3 containers (Podman + podman-compose) Nextcloud Penpot Forgejo All 3 containers are connected to a subdomain of mine via Cloudflare Tunnels As for some personal preferences:...
