Perhaps more complex then what you’re hoping for.
But consider taking a look at hyprland. I’ve been very impressed with how modular and smooth this window manager is

I strongly recommend EndeavourOS. You’ll have more flexibility to experiment with different setups and greater access to software.
So I use reverse proxies etc with my containers for others services
But KeePass with rsync is easier for passwords. I just use termux on my phone
I recommend using a docker container, they make the whole thing painless and easy.
I think the Linuxserver.io one is what I used from memory.
Dictating notes into my journal (eg obsidian/mediawiki/dokuwiki) is very nice though.
The 3d stuff was great! The NVIDIA glasses were wild!
It’s a shame it died off tbh.
Well the folding aspect is pretty good.
Software otoh…
Yeah if this is for a small number of users, I would recommend wireguard or tailgate.
Port forwarding is asking for trouble.
Element is a complete disaster.
Like, completely unmaintained and broken.
Matrix works over i2P and Tor, just proxy the service.
P2P chat could include retroshare but it’s not really a solution due to a variety of ux issues.
I wasn’t aware of that. I’ve even seen vendors using it.
I know it’s E2EE and open source but there is a lot of Metadata.
What other limitations does it have?
I often remote into my machine, so it’s a lot easier to type the command.
Sounds like PGP keys?
Yeah I hear that, good point.
Arch has great documentation but also a bit more config.
I would vote for Fedora over debian though. Debian packages are so far out of date that it becomes a pain and copr works quite well.
Well, I can only offer my experience.
I teach programming and Mathematics full-time and I’ve been doing so for the last few years. I must use 20 different machines every semester.
Every single time, windows users cannot install python, they cannot install latex, SQL etc. And of course every single time the machine is riddled with garbage and just opening the start menu takes seconds. It’s probably more correlation than causation, but students on Linux always perform better In the course.
Mac Users certainly have it better but installing basic software (git, fish, ripgrep, neovim etc. ) is still quite challenging.
Much of the teaching staff have been using Linux for the past 5 to 20 years and probably have not relied on Windows since maybe 95/xp/2000 (my old supervisor started on Solaris apparently 🤷)
We sit there amazed that anybody would use this. It runs like shit, It’s riddled with ads, installing software is painful, most software isn’t packaged for it (exceptions being subscription-based software like Adobe), it’s a privacy nightmare and of course you have to pay for the bloody thing.
I guess my point is, maybe you find Linux more difficult than Windows because you’ve been using Windows for the past 20 years and so you’re approaching it from a different perspective.
From our perspective, we could go back to Windows and wouldn’t struggle with the technical side of things too much, but there is no doubt that it’s an inferior experience.
Tbf, this is more HP failing to support their hardware than a failure in Linux to be more flexible and performant.
Yeah as others have said, HP does not have a great reputation for laptops and stuff.
Grab a cheap ThinkPad, they usually work very well.
I started on Linux as a kid and let me tell you, being curious about windows, welp that’s been horrific.
Curious in this case is a strong term, quite a few of my students are on Windows and that OS is a mess. I don’t care much for apple but at least MacBooks work.
Phi3 is pretty good for the size of the model!
Also subs of the Microsoft libraries used to train models are quite good.
Oh and copilot, whether you like it or not, it’s quite a technical achievement in terms of response time and accuracy.
Yeah that’s been my least favourite experience with Lemmy.
Many replies are hostile and highly opinionated.
I don’t have an answer for your question but it was a good question and it made me curious.
I’m in favour of domestic production but I would always want more information about it.
