I have had a weird journey with Linux, personally. I’ve used it many times in the past, and one of my earliest installs when I was a teen, I was self teaching through trial by fire recompiling my kernel and hoping it was bootable afterwards.
Later I did SUSE briefly, then LFS for the experience, then Gentoo stage 1 installs. Wasn’t until several years later that I really got back into it with running Ubuntu servers at work. About 25 years of IT later, I’m switching back to Linux with OpenSUSE as my DD.
Lol oh just that I’ve never installed Linux for personal use with it not turning into a 3 day adventure, minimum.
You’d be suprised what I do everyday. ;)
Ssh
WireGuard
Samba
Cryptsetup/LUKS
Suricatapi-holeI maintain these services all on a SBC the size of my palm (H3).
Hey if you’re able to do all that efficiently, more power to ya! I’m decent at Linux but far from an expert and it never seems like I’m " done".
I more or less the same…
I took a vocatinol school for cybersec and now I am doing college for server admin.
Hopefully, everthing I learned transfers.
Oddly, this is my 5th year with linux.
