Basically Linux mint or bazzite is the system and how it’s organized while plasma is how I’m seeing that system represented and interacting with it in other words?
Yup, seems like you got the gist of it!
Obviously once you start reading documents on software you’ll start to understand it all better. Suggest reading into the Docker engine for self-hosting software on your network!
how does plasma and Debian fit in cus that stuff is ringing a bell.
Distributions like Ubuntu, Kali Linux, Linux Mint are actually based off of Debian however, each distribution provides their own packages and typically have system files in different places, so packages made for Ubuntu may or may not work with Debian and vice-versa.
Edit; I should’ve mentioned you can choose to go headless without a GUI and only run the shell which saves a lot of resources.
Like plasma being separate than a distro
KDE Plasma is a Desktop Environment (aka your desktop). When you install a Linux distro on your computer you’ll typically be given an option on which software you want to pre install. You’ll see software like GNOME, KDE Plasma, Xfce, Cinnamon, etc and by doing a little research into them you can pick the environment that suites you best.
GNOME gave me MacOS vibes while KDE is more Windows.
Hope this explains things easily!
I personally started out with Debian given that a vast majority of distributions are Debian based, typically paired with KDE Plasma 5 for my desktop environment, and learned from there.
Now Debian is really stable but does require command-line configuration quite often so it may feel complicated but if you’re capable of reading & following documentation then you should be all good.
Currently in the process of fixing up my old Asus TUF FX505DU with Debian & KDE Plasma.
Setting up Nvidia Optimus would be a pain if it weren’t for Envy Control, run one command and boom GPU’s speak nicely to one another.
That’s just how you unlock the hidden boss fight.
Ubisoft cannot be forgiven on how much time they wasted remastering all the original maps. That’s when I called it quits.
I had a poor experience with NPM which turned me to SWAG, it worked, but was a tad slow. Moved to Traefik and haven’t looked back.

they’d have to do all kinds of work embedding their anti cheat in the kernel.
Prime example here is Rainbow Six Siege, they use Battle-Eye for their anti cheat. Battle-Eye has supported linux since 2021 and all the developers have to do is phone up Battle-Eye and enable Proton support.
Ridiculous right?
What baffles me is how they intentionally make their games unplayable on Linux, and the same can be said about EA.
Seems like it. Still Gulf of Mexico on my end.
I wish I could say the same, I use PayPal very frequently because my credit union doesn’t support debit-visa. With PayPal I can make payments with my bank online rather than use my cc.
Yes! PiHole does offer whitelisting profiles for devices however, Apple/IOS devices with their “Private Wi-Fi addresses” make it pain given how the Mac Addresses regularly rotate.
Last release was over 5 years ago and judging by the issues not receiving responses best to assume it’s deprecated.
Cool project it seemed.
Yeah, PiHole is great if you live by yourself otherwise the entire household will have it out for you.
Learned that lesson the hard way.
The only thing I had to work around was downloading the deb build of Discord Canary to enable audio output in Discord streams since it was only recently added to Discord’s dev/beta build (Canary).
Keep in mind Linux is all about FOSS, if the software you use doesn’t have all the features you want look around for alternatives.
I encountered this same issue when installing Discord and opted to use Vencord instead.

Mr Torvald, I don’t feel so well.
