Hi there! I found ubuntu server when I was starting to work in tech fulltime (I had done admin work and dev stuff before but not exclusively). A lot of folks had some linux experience and I learned about VMs at the time.

So I spun up a ubuntu server vm to check out linux. It took me a bit to get accustomed to the command line but it worked pretty well. Knowing some programming languages definitely helped to grasp the syntax.

I worked with the VM for some time and then started searching for ways to use my knowledge and hone it further. So I grabbed an old server that was in my basement and put ubuntu server on it.

This server now sits in my other room and has 8 TB of data on it, movies, tv shows (all backups of course…), my home automation system, dashboards, vaults, cloud data. The data is mirrored and backed up off site.

I also then came across it again at work when I took care of some servers we had there.

It has been quite a ride so far but also a lot of fun. currently trying to phase out my windows laptop for a ubuntu desktop tower. Wish me luck. :)

Thanks for reading. I’m curious to hear your stories.

      If you don’t want to run the latest and the greatest in full ultra config steamdeck is perfect.

      BG3 and starfield brings up the limits. While still running (bg3 better than starfield) this is the most you can get out of it.

      Anything below or emulation wise its perfect
