If your distro can't be forked into a "beginner distro" then it's fundamentally flawed IMHO.

To be clear, I've used Arch as my daily drivers for a while, and while it's not the best fit for my needs (I use Debian mostly), there's nothing that I experienced that was incompatible with a "beginner" distro.

You can also drop cache for debugging by running something like echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop-caches

But remember that the kernel knows best


this RAM will automatically be freed up when needed and you should never run this except for debugging (or maybe benchmarking).

I've been super happy with it. Knock on wood it's been super reliable. I have a single ZFS drive, take snapshots with various retention policies, nothing fancy.

Another fun thing is to set up a reverse proxy on it as an endpoint for services on your local (home) network which can only be accessed by VPN. For example, my Jellyfin service isn't public facing, but I didn't want e.g. my parents to need to set up WireGuard. So instead they can point their TV to a raspberry pi on their network to access the service


even a first gen RPI can handle Jellyfin reverse proxy over WireGuard for moderate bitrates!

"Necessary, but not sufficient" sums up the role of a degree for a lot of jobs.

WireGuard, and an external HDD. Run at a remote location for off-site backup.

I do this with a raspberry pi 3 at the in-laws. I copied the data over locally before setting it up, and after that it's just nightly incremental rsync, which is fine even over my slow (35Mbps) upload.

I'd like to know more.

In all seriousness though, I thought it had some aspects of good, which was odd given that it's satirical commentary on fascism. For instance, gender didn't really matter and women were promoted, and while the shower scene was meant to show how fascism castrates the masses (or something like that, iirc), I thought it was a relatively wholesome scene, all things considered.

No judgement here, you just keep doing what makes you happy.

It's maybe not that bad for a "normal" person, but Bill Nye was a real hero to a lot of young folks, be they aspiring STEM types, science enthusiasts, or just curious people. So to see him sell out


abandoning scientific integrity for a quick buck


was pretty disheartening.

For very simple tasks you can usually blindly log in and run commands. I've done this with very simple tasks, e.g., rebooting or bringing up a network interface. It's maybe not the smartest, but basically, just type root, the root password, and dhclient eth0 or whatever magic you need. No display required, unless you make a typo...

In your specific case, you could have a shell script that stops VMs and disables passthrough, so you just log in and invoke that script. Bonus points if you create a dedicated user with that script set as their shell (or just put in the appropriate dot rc file).
