the window rules one really fucks me up.

It stopped working at the beginning of the year for me and nobody gave a shit about the bug reports.

Now I have to keep juggling windows and their sizes every day like a caveman.

This works really well. The readme says “local network” at the beginning, but it works across the internet by sharing a link.

GPT4All is a nice and easy start.

Bottles is a noun and not an adjective.

Also bottles has no IT related meaning, while immutable does.

“Immutable OS” is not a product name.

An “immutable” OS becomes mutable whenever a user wants to change anything on it.

Now imagine I keep describing my car as undrivable, because it only becomes drivable when somebody gets in and drives it. - You’d think that this is a completely deranged statement.

The main difference to your examples is that an “immutable OS” is in fact mutable, while none of your examples describe themselves with an adjective that is contradicting with their function/inner workings.

Flatpak is a pretty good name, because it makes software flat in the sense that it avoids having a (tall) dependency tree.

I print from my phone just fine

Ah yes, the immutable OS, except for all of the various mutable parts.

We should totally not call it anything less confusing.

How could you install anything or change any setting if it “doesn’t change” ?

How could you install anything or change any setting if it was truly immutable?

Immutable OS makes sense in certain scenarios, but not in home computing.

I second this.

I’ve learned about it at work and used it privately.

I use Dokploy and I think it fills exatly the same role.

Nice!

If this is a HDD you could recover it.

If SSD - no.

Why would you need a travel router?

The rpi already can be set up to hotspot it’s own wifi network.

For connecting to hotel wifi, a simple usb dongle is good enough, as discussed here: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=287485

In regards to VPN-ing into the media server at home - depending on where you travel, you might not have any internet or you might use up your mobile data volume.

They support AMD as well.

Seems like you can run llama.cpp directly on intel ARC through Vulkan, but there are still some hurdles for ollama.

I use borgbackup with borgmatic.

Backing it up to a local hdd and to a hetzter storage box.

Since you say

change the path the .wav audio file

fyi, the sys BAT paths are also different per laptop. Just in case it doesn’t work for somebody else or for you on a different laptop.

Definitive roadmap (for the lazy people edition):

1. Get some computing device
2. Install dokploy
3. Run whatever containers in it with a couple of clicks
