Good that I flashed OpenWrt on my ASUS router. Couldn't be more happier.

I stopped reading after this line.

Raspberry Pi won't do unfortunately, unless you run up to 4 lightweight containers.

Does the author know how much compute power a Raspberry Pi 5 has? If the software that just hosts personal data can't run in Raspberry Pi 5, that should be a terrible software. For most people and their families, a RPi5 is enough to host anything that they would ever need.

Not OP, but my reasons for choosing Fedora is, it just works. I use the Atomic version of it which is an image based operating system. Installing packages or updates does not leave the system unstable. I can simply rollback to previous version. Also Fedora pushes entire Linux community forward by adopting potential technologies like Flatpak, PipeWire, Wayland etc earlier compared to other distros.

(I also run NixOS which I believe has more potential and solves many problems than Fedora).

Having said that there are two downsides to Fedora.

  • Fedora is closely associated with Red Hat. I wish it is purely community driven.
  • Fedora does not offer LTS kernels (Maybe it would threaten Red Hat, if Fedora is too stable).

I use Postgres at my home and at work. I thank him and other unknown heroes. He will live forever with Postgres.

I use an entry level router ASUS RT-AX53U with OpenWrt. WiFi 6, IPv6, Guest VLAN, DNSCrypt (DoH), Adblock, Firewall are few things I have configured with OpenWrt.

Even if you don't buy ASUS, make sure your router is supported by OpenWrt. It's a Linux distribution that runs on routers and PCs to configure home networking.

Yes. It saved me from crappy firmware on my expensive router. It's a must if you care about security of your home network and devices.

I am using GNOME with Fedora and NixOS on multiple machines. I sincerely thank the hard work of maintainers and contributors.

Yes. It's called opting out of Google. There's no other way.

Thank you Nextcloud. I use a self hosted version at my home to back up my Documents and Pictures. If anyone would like to move from big tech for cloud storage, it's easy to do with Nextcloud + Docker.
