For me, I really want to get into niri, but the lack of XWayland support scares me (I know there’s solutions, but I don’t understand them yet).

Also, I stopped using Emacs (even though I love its design and philosophy with my whole heart) because it’s very slow, even as a daemon.

      You don’t have to know how it works in order to use it. I don’t know either but I could host services using docker. trust me it’s way easier than it seems.

        You don’t have to… if the project you want to use has a good setup process. Otherwise you’ll be scouring Docker docs, GitHub issues, and StackOverflow for years.

      I’ve been using linux on and off for 20 years and docker reignited my interest for running linux. There’s plenty of good guides and free courses, if you need help finding one - let me know and I’ll send you a YT playlist.

      Docker compose is amazing. I don’t even know how many things I’m running right now. Hell I’m running things I didn’t even use! (I could easily disable or delete them; I’m just lazy)

      How to docker-compose in thirty seconds.

      Simply make a file called

      compose.yaml

      Then paste in the text from your application’s docker-compose instructions.

      Often the timezone needs to be set, along with the volume

      Example:

      volume: /mnt/hdd/data:/data

      This means the application’s data directory will be mounted at /mnt/hdd/data

      Then

      docker compose up -d

      You’re done, that’s all there is.

      docker-compose is fantastic because in a single compose.yaml file you can list multiple services.

      For example, my compose.yaml file contains my sonarr/radarr/bazarr/lidarr/prowlarr/qbittorrent/deemix/jellyfish/jellyseerr

      And I can update them all by running a shell script made of three lines.
