What kinda dependency hell? I’ve been running my jellying server with it installed via pacman for over year and never had any problems. I admit I’ve also not messed with docker much in general but I assumed that would be more annoying cuz it would have to be updated separately and such

Which distros are visually and/or have user interfaces/experiential sensibillities/idioms akin to Windows/MacOS/("pure") Linux as distinct from the other 2 major OSs?

This is a question about desktop environments not distros. Many distros ship a default desktop environment but you can always change it. Among the desktop environments it’s typically said:

Gnome ~ Mac, KDE ~ Windows

As for a Linux flavored one I think the most distinctly linux desktops are the tiling and scrolling compositors (hyprland, niri etc)

[AIP] Homedex: a self-hosted inventory that writes your homelab's documentation from Docker and your reverse proxy

Cool project idea! Some questions:

It seems the project currently exclusively watches docker related stuff. Is there any plan to watch services more broadly? Most of my stuff is running directly on the machine as a systemd service without any container (probably bad practice sue me). I’m not sure how feasible it would be to chase down everything that’s supplying a local host endpoint tho.

What’s your AI workflow like? What model, what harness etc

No Gnome is a desktop environment which is similar to the Mac desktop environment. Ditto KDE and windows.

This distinction is confusing for new Linux users because windows and Mac each only provide one desktop environment so users conflate the desktop and OS. Imagine if you could change your computer from having a windows desktop to a Mac desktop while having all your files and applications stay exactly the same and still work. This is how Linux works. Whether you use Gnome (a Mac like interface) or KDE (a windows like interface) or one of the tiling/scrolling compositors of Linux power users it’s just the UI layer of the OS, it’s a totally independent question from what distro/software you’re running and you can freely mix and match
