This is how I run all my services. I have a nice docker compose file, I always set my server computers up the same way so no editing will be necessary…
I was using podman, but like all Red Hat products, I found it to be unnecessarily complicated. Yes of course it has better security, but… Docker just works.
I’ve “refreshed” a couple coworker’s old PCs with Linux Mint XFCE. It’s actually gone pretty well.
“All I do is browse the net.”
Okay, I’ll put the browser right on the desktop, so you don’t have to search for it. Be patient, it’s an older computer. But at least this works, unlike Windows.
And I haven’t really heard too much from them. Internet works. Basic needs fulfilled.
I feel like someone who knows a bit more could be more of a pain. But for very basic computing needs like paying your bills and surfing IG, it can go well.
