zsh, ghostty (enable the ssh shell-integration option for auto terminfo installation on the remote), lazyvim
Containers are your friend, especially when you're going to be doing dev work. Keep the server lean and clean.

Also, +1 to the Forgejo recommendation.
+1 to CachyOS recommendation. Been daily driving on my RTX 4080 gaming rig for almost 2 years, no complaints.
I've tried them all. CachyOS is the best by a mile, IMHO. Been daily driving on my RTX 4080 rig (and my Lenovo laptop) for almost 2yrs. Haven't found a game I can't run.
Pretty sure you could run Pulp in pull-through mode and add your local Forgejo/whatever registry as a remote, which would at least give you a unified "pull" URL. Then just use Forgejo actions to handle the actual build/publish for your local images whenever you push to main (or tag a release, or whatever).
Pulp might actually be able to handle both on its own, I haven't ever tried though.
Yep, out of all the "gaming-friendly" distros I've tried (Bazzite, Nobara, Garuda, Pop!_OS, Mint, etc) Cachy has had the best performance and stability by far, and the least amount of weird quirks or bugs. Genuinely, one of the best distro experiences I've had in a long time.
I do work with linux in a professional capacity every day and have been using Arch on and off for over 15 years, though. My perspective is likely a bit different than the average gamer. That said, I don't find myself having to dig into things very much/often with Cachy, unless of course I want to. :p
CachyOS is solid, it effectively put a stop to my distro-hopping days(years). Been daily driving on my desktop and laptop for well over a year now, no complaints. Desktop: RTX 4080 / 9800x3d
Edit: Felt I should mention I haven't come across any games (old/new/big/small) that I can't run. To be fair, though, I don't tend to play any competitive online FPS.
I hope people are liking the new SSH integration options :)
I'd recommend setting your sights on the 3-2-1 rule. 3 copies of your data, 2 different mediums, 1 off-site. Hetzner Storage Box is a good cheap offsite option.
Yeah serverpartdeals is legit. Between work and home, I think I've tested & deployed 150+ drives from them over the last 3yrs. No duds, no failures, no complaints. Great customer service on the corp side for big orders, too. 10/10 would recommend.
Move over, bud. That's my hill to die on, too.
Can't catch me, FBI-man. I'm behind 7 proxies.
Yeah they're fine. TechMikeNY usually has better deals though, at least in my experience. Have bought from them several times both for work and homelab, no complaints.
