When I first started learning how to Linux long ago everyone recommended Ubuntu… and I had a similar issue to the OP.
I had to dump the EDID of my monitor from a Windows machine to actually get X to recognise any kind of monitor modes …it was an eye opening experience for a newbie.
Today, I still dont really like it for other reasons (I’d take Debian over Ubuntu any day). Call me crazy here guys but I think its okay to share an opinion without being called an edgelord for it.
I have a shelving structure that needs some organizing. It has lots of random stuff like computer mouse, cables, earbuds, headphones, papers, folders, binders, bottles, books. It’s just a tower of horizontal floors with not organization whatsoever. So I’ve been looking at organizational solutions and came across gridfinity....
It’s always annoyed me that you see the recommendation to get a “side hustle” to get ahead… when in reality you need that “side hustle” just to afford basic cost of living. At that point it’s not a hustle, it’s literally survival....
What? Gitea. Gitlab is a complete devops platform. Awesome, but complete overkill.
Why? Because I regularly commit code atrocities and have a hard enough time dealing with imposter syndrome, I don’t need to add public shaming on top of it (And just data sovereignty I guess)
I started daily driving Linux since I left school this year and used it before but mainly windows because school wanted us to run Word, Teams, etc. Today I wanted to play games and haven’t set up my device for gaming and didn’t want to download the game twice (good internet). Like a good PC user I wanted to do my updates. It...
Mainly selected podman for the security, it doesn’t rely on a daemon and supported rootless containers before docker did. Easy to just come up with a pattern where you can minimise the risk of container breakout by having a user for each container stack to provide even more isolation. You can do the same with docker these days I think, each user just runs their own copy of the docker daemon. The aim of the project was to achieve 1:1 compatibility, I think it’s pretty close these days. It’s also native to the Redhat family so could avoid using the community edition of Docker.
Docker is still what 95% of people think of when you talk containers and you may encounters issues, particularly running things rootlessly as it’s not a use-case that developers necessarily support. Not to discourage you at all, experimentation is great, but be prepared for thorns. 👍

Love keeping that old tech alive! My Core 2 Duo died a couple of years back, if I could figure out a way to leverage old mobile phones for some sort of project I would.
Basically I ran into issues with building images from newer and more complex compose files that podman-compose just couldn’t pull apart.
Docker is still the go-to if you want shit to ‘just work’, it has an easier user experience, it’s what the vast majority of developers building containers are using. You can run rootless if you want without too much pain.
It has come a long way but the probability that you’ll run into some random edge case or other issue with podman is higher, podman-compose has some thorns (high likelihood you’ll need to hack on compose files), if you want containers to start without your interaction you have to bake up systemd unit files for them, etc. I’ve not messed with podman-kube-play - wasn’t even aware of it, so can’t really comment as to how well that works.
There’s nothing to lose by giving it a go except your sanity and time. 😁
