Because linux doesn't have an "ecosystem". You have to either make your existing ecosystem work with linux or center your ecosystem around apps and things that work with linux. I do that and I'd say it's more standardized than both the windows and the mac ones...

It's between konsole and kitty for me. Both are great.

150$ is rather ambitious for what you are describing as a custom made low power server. Managing to build something... Anything commercial out of new, hell even refurbished parts that has enough horse power to run anything more than a pihole/DNS server at this price point would be a challenge and a half. If you're going refurbished/2nd hand, you're likely gonna spend half of that on just shipping the parts to you.

I believe you are vastly underestimating the price of new low end parts and vastly overestimating the capabilities and availability of old micro servers. I'd say something like this would work at a price range of around 300~400$ (and even that's ambitious imo).

And even then, that's a NICHE audience you'd be targeting. It would be people who don't wanna pay subscriptions, but also don't wanna be bothered to spend a day or 2 figuring out how to set up a simple linux box on an old computer they have. I'm not saying that audience doesn't exist, it's just veeeeery niche.

Chimera Linux is actually really nice. Been daily driving it for a little bit, and as long as you don't have an Nvidia GPU, it should work just fine.

I've tried FreeBSD and in my experience, it was just like clunkier, worse documented linux. I specifically remember having issues with wifi drivers not working and drivers as a whole being a huge pain. I've also tried setting up OpnSense in a VM (for testing purposes) and that was just as clunky.

I've also thought of trying TrueNAS core... But the way I see it, it's just clunkier TrueNAS scale without proper virtualization and with more limitations.

And those my thoughts on FreeBSD. Clunky.

E: All of that and it's just licensed under the wrong license... I like the BSD license, I just don't think it works for an OS.

Under screen fingerprint sensors. Doesn't matter how old/new your phone is, they all suck. The one on my phone works... whenever it feels like it. That and OneUI sucks, but yk, custom ROMs ftw.

Mainstream search engines (google and bing) are completely useless. Alternatives ftw.

Chimera Linux. You'd think that a distro using its own bsd-like userspace and dinit instead of systemd is janky and unusable, but it's been one of the most painless experiences I've had.

Genuinely recommend trying it if you don't have an Nvidia GPU.

Chimera Linux on the way home about it's just a little bit of a side of the house for a while now I have to

A game where you can program spells with pseudo code.

I learned how to use a computer basically all by myself. Been using computers in some way or since I was 5 or smth like that and I can't really say that it "clicked". I just got gradually better at it, because I was (and still am) a huge nerd.
