Sounds like a lot more fiddling then just going to linux

That was my experience when I tried popos, everything was just there ready to go no messing around with terminal or anything, I ended up going to arch after trying fedora because like you mentioned popos is on the older side and when darktable updated I just started to notice it was a bit dated and when I went to fedora and had to learn that I figured might as well make the jump to arch. That was fun and I setup hyprland and everything but now I’m trying bazzite and its pretty good so far

Does it matter what kind of cheese?

That’s why similar to windows you would need to be prepared beforehand, I have a thumbtick with my portable appimages so when I setup new computers I can open my notes etc without internet.

Two accounts

For my home server I’m using unraid, super simple and i can add drives as I got. I have a bunch of containers running all the arrs, plex, jellyfin, steam-headless, immich, ollama, speedtest tracker, nextcloud, bunch of databases, rss, mastodon and a ubuntu vm for minecraft servers and a windows vm for when I need something windows related like using 360 tour software that i haven’t figured out how to use on my Linux systems yet.

For desktop and laptop I’m running arch with hyprland

Yeah it took me like a year to finally start editing photos on my Linux machine. I was so used to lightroom that I kept bouncing between digikam, darktable, and rawtherapee. I wanted something that just did everything that lightroom did in a way that made senses to what I had learned until I finally just sat through a few youtube videos and decided to use digikam for managing my library and darktable for all my editing. Then seeing posts here on lemmy on people’s workshops helped me a lot

I just use the trash guides I don’t do 4k and I have it as low as DVD because a lot of cartoons don’t get picked up when I had dvd quality disabled.

To change the quality just make multiple profiles, i have one for 4k and one for regular. Default is regular but sometimes rarely I’ll set a movie to 4k and then just hit the search button and it will upgrade it or downgrade if I went the other way
