From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nextcloud requiring me to set the actual domain when I just want to run it locally was pretty frustrating

Cloud-init. The config yaml is rather straight forward, but I can't convince my VM to execute it, and it's driving me nuts.

But I did it after three weeks.
I captured my efforts in a set of interdependent Ansible roles so I never have to do it again.
Caddy. The config and docs suck.
Eg. I thought I configured it to limit some sites to an allowlist of IPs. Turns out (months later) the config did nothing, but ran anyway.

xorg.conf. The (wrong) example from Arch Wiki works but following the official documentation doesn't.
hostapd. I have no idea how you’re supposed to figure out the 50 or so options OpenWrt outputs for an AX card that I just ended up copying. And why doesn’t it detect those on its own?
it's embarrassing but for me it's thinkfan. Instead I wrote my own solution in bash.
Motion on my RPI. I didn't want it to save videos or photos, so I turned it off in the config. But it still saved them. So I tried a few other places in the config to turn it off, but nothing worked and I'd run out of space within a day. So I changed the save directory to /dev/null.
Then I tried to upgrade the pi, and the new version of motion has a different config, incompatible with the old one. So I'm running the old one.
Skyrim mods.
Btw, anyone got the new reshade working on wine?
For skyrim, I'm using vortex in lutris, and install the mods this way. This requires a more bit of actions but works fine.
Wabbajack still doesn't work in wine?
