This. Right now you might feel you aren’t learning anything, that you are just copying what says online without understanding it. But little by little, by changing a config line the internet told you, by doing x command to search for y path, you slowly and unknowingly build up your experience with that config file or command. Next time you need to touch that same confg file or command, it’ll be easier, and easier. So on until you just know it and dont need to look it up.

Give it time. Every small step builds toward the big goal. And if you know how to search and learn from the internet efficiently, you dont even need to ask here for advice. It’ll come naturally

Im using arch linux to respond to you right now from my dualboot Oneplus 6. Yeah linux on phones is cool. Recommended. 4.9 stars

Hmm… for me on a regular windows vm it works though, weird

I second this. The only lemmy client that exists worked quite badly for me

Pretty much, yeah. Definitely agree with you on that one. I use Manjaro mostly bc im lazy to install regular arch and also bc I actually found that delay in the update cycle to be really good in my case. With regular arch the times I used it broke a lot more than what Manjaro ever did for me, and I’m not that particularly interested in “bleeding edge” that much, but instead I liked arch and arch based distros because of the compatibility and tools I need. The AUR is amazing, and there’s tons of custom repos to be added on top of arch which give me said tools I need to use + (yeah im lazy as hell).

So yeah, Manjaro is pretty much a bit of a more stable arch for lazy people, so right up my alley!

Have you tried an oldie but goodie called winapps? It still works now and lets you use remote rdp to windows to show each specific program as a window on your linux desktop

Well my unusual setup I spent years thinking about it before I was even able to have the money to achieve it. It’s based on portability and versatility and since I’m now working remotely now it makes even more sense. The plan was to run something portable with less power and smaller when outside, and leave the powerhouse to be accessed remotely. So for that reason I have a dualboot Oneplus 6 with LineageOS and Droidian, Waydroid container on Droidian and Debian proot-distro on LineageOS. That so i dont have to totally reboot for some tasks i might need on android or linux. 4 media folders shared between both of them as well as their containers. This makes sense now cause i long thought of running a Lapdock with it even if only wireless, and I got it recently! It works really nice on android but cant transmit over miracast on linux yet, still figuring that out. Nevertheless thats not the main device that is on my mind. A pinephone pro is a good fit too, but im leaning towards something like the gpd pocket 3, a real portable and modular mini pc that could be connected with just a cable to work better on the lapdock (also can be used as a tablet which is dope).

The powerhouse itself is a server with 16 threads of cpu and 64gb of ram and 2 gtx 1060s for graphics that i plan on configuring with vgpu to split graphical load between the vms with. It is also my remote gaming server :D with moonlight and sunshine, and i spent quite some time configuring all of it to be easily almost plug and play with controllers to have no issues if i disconnect or using multiple different controllers, with a good game launcher (Playnite) to host all games from it.

All of this just to someday achieve my dream of working wherever I want with a camper van to explore the world!
