Not OP, but for a while I tried using Ubuntu and Mint but kept on having random issues with my printer/scanner combo (Brother) and a couple of other problems that I don’t remember before I just gave up and switched over to pop.

Been using it as my daily driver for a couple of years now and even the one time I did have something go sideways I was helped by people on the Telegram channel.

On a side note there have been a couple of ranking lists released on YouTube and one of them noted that the desktop is a bit outdated but I really like the tiling window manager that pop has. Sure it eats shit sometimes but as of recently I haven’t had to think about it at all. I’m excited to see the new desktop that they are currently developing as well.

I’ve previously used YNAB but all of these budgeting apps are fairly similar. I think YNAB does have two different ways to sync accounts vs some of the competitors where they use only one way to sync accounts which sometimes causes issues syncing or even with which accounts you can sync with.

Besides the above I would like to point out that YNAB runs a bit differently than a basic budgeting app. With YNAB you do have a budget but it forces you to assign every cent and then you have to do as planned (with flexibility of course) but I find others that they only provide a dashboard somewhat like an overview.

An example would be Mint. Had it for years, configured and it was synced with my accounts. I used this as a quick overview of how my accounts were looking vs an budgeting program to help get my finances sorted. Then I got YNAB and I’m not exactly sure why but paying off CCs and building a savings happened without having to force anything on my end.

Now you are you, I am myself. Give something a shot with honest effort. If you’re putting your best foot forward and getting help if you’re ever stuck or have a question, and it’s not working out in ~3 months, change it.

You’re correct, with a bit more know how and knowledge it’s completely doable. Quick question maybe, once you create a pool and are utilizing it, are you able to add/remove drives as needed or does that require additional work to be completed? I am under the impression that the pools can be created with a variety of drives but making any physical adjustments are a bit of trouble.

However, I do appreciate you posting about this, maybe it’ll help someone else that might be browsing through here. Thank you.

Best of luck jjlinux. I hope you have a ton of fun getting your system up and running.

Use either proxmox or unraid. Don’t stack.

They are both great in their own respects but you need to choose what works for you and your hardware.

Up until recently I liked unraid due to being able to use multiple disks with different capacities. You don’t really have that freedom with proxmox.

The thing is I believe that statement is a bit misunderstood.

Calculators were already becoming pocket sized back in the day, but using it to calculate things if you don’t know how to use it is where the actual problem is.

Hence the reasoning to learn how to math vs only having the device.

Lol it’s simple just watch for a shit ton of traffic from single ip addresses.

Nice, I’m sure that adding a theming system would be do able. What type of interface do you think would work better than what it currently has?

Do you have any examples of things they could try or implement?

I’ve been daily driving pop for about 3 years now on my desktop built with components from almost 6 years ago. Much smoother of an experience than Ubuntu (yes pop is derived from Ubuntu) and tiers above the rest.
