I just need to gush for a minute. I am about to shutdown my server in order to move it to the basement. This off the shelf $300 desktop running Pop!_OS is my self-hosting server that has dutifully done it’s job without a single complaint. It has been rebooted maybe three times since 2020 and it currently has an uptime of 840 days. That’s 840 days of not ever thinking about this thing. It self updates via Cron jobs and just…works.

I am afraid to open the box up though. Those dust bunnies must be huge.

    This is the future we were promised, dumb machines doing work 24/7. I’d change it to Debian but you stick with whatever works best for you.

      I have moved on to LMDE for everything other than my laptop, but I don’t feel like rebuilding the thing. I just blew out the dust and in a few minutes it will be back up and running in the basement.

        Well, you’re already on a Debian based distro and not Ubuntu. Let it do it’s thing in the most boring way :D
