Oh no!

Anyway...

Been on Proxmox for a couple of years and it's been great.

How about pacman install vim or pacman --install vim or pacman -i vim

What the heck does S mean?! What's all the syncing nonsense. A million obscure parameters that are all single letter, don't tie in with anything meaningful. You might be used to it, but it's a mess of parameters.

Try EndeavourOS. It's basically what you describe.

They're documented, but it's a big and ever expanding list.

If we didn't have a bazillion TLDs these days we'd be ok and everyone can carry on using .local or .lan and be happy that they're not real TLDs. Now when anything could be a TLD because every word you've ever heard is a TLD, you don't know if its real or not.

EndeavourOS is by far my favorite distro I've ever used. I can't fault it.

Try using yay with EndeavourOS. It's much easier than pacman for most standard stuff but if you have to you can use pacman too as yay is basically a wrapper around pacman.

To do a full update you literally just type yay. To install something it's yay <searchterm> and then you're given a list of possibilities including your related sub packages and can make multiple selections at once.

Kubuntu is most normie. Its just Ubuntu but with KDE instead of Gnome. KDE Neon has the latest KDE but the update process is a mess so I can't recommend it.

Personally I use EndeavourOS with KDE and find it very easy. Updates are literally just typing yay. But I understand that Arch based distros aren't for everyone.

That's a link to a nearly 6 year old article

Can you recommend a mail server docker image like that? I have a hand cranked iredmail server that I've been babying for 5 years but I want to move it to either docker or an LXC.

I've been using Nextcloud for years and it has never performed well but I always put that down to my disks being slow.

It has gotten quicker over time, but not hugely.

I rarely use the web interface, I just use the mobile app to sync photos from my phone then everything on my network runs over NFS. It even that was a pain to get working with permissions with NC.

Now I want to try OC. I think the reason I went with NC was because it was meant to be the new and better developed OC after a bunch of OC devs left to form NC.

I hope whoever thought -l should mean "check links" instead of list has a special place in Hell set aside for them.

I have no idea what print a message if not all links are dumped even means.
