FOSS remote camera control and fine art printing software is top of my agenda currently. Got a few avenues of enquiry but any recommendations would be welcomed, particularly on the printing side. I'd also like to become expert at using my current programs, especially GIMP and Ardour, for my own use but also so I can teach others.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

the lack of XWayland support scares me
I've been using niri lately and couldn't believe so many apps wouldn't launch. I didn't know that was the issue. I had been manually editing so many desktop entries to make them work...
My TV. *arr stilll not set up and the gaming rig is still in its planning phase.
Virtual reality, but an old friend of mine has kindly offered to buy me an Oculus Quest 2 so I'm very much looking forward to what VR can offer.
One of my closest friends also did the same thing for me, I quite enjoy playing beat saber :)
I highly recommend Pistol Whip!
Nginx. I'm going to learn soon but I'm still new and it seems easy to screw up exposing things to the Internet.

oooo. niri is a good one. I've had it installed on my fedora system for... Hell I don't even know how long but I just haven't been using it. I've really been wanting to use NixOS for a while but haven't had the motivation/determination to sit down and learn it.
Same, niri. Want to move away from hyprland for so long. Also Emacs but I don't want to spend months configuring.
Also a foss android distro, but I can't find one for this phone.
there are also lots of other things like common lisp, Redox OS, cosmic desktop, trying to make my own compositor, rope science, activity pub, webtransport, bevy, ecs, and much more.
Edit: Hey, I finally installed niri and everything works!!!!!
I kinda wanna try Gentoo just for the experience, but as someone who already uses Arch, I'm worried it will take up more of my time than my current setup already does.
