Why is it that 4 is objectively funnier than 6

What do you mean by that?

I use Niri. It just feels right to me, having lots of space to stick windows (scroll horizontally, switch workspaces vertically).

It takes some getting used to, but tthe overview is helpful, and here’s always the window switcher if you “lost” a window. But what really changed the game for me were special “focus-or-spawn” keybindings with nirius, e.g. when I press Meta+B my browser opens, or if it is already open it is focused.

If you only want to use scrolling for some workspaces, you can have a look at Umbriel. It looks really interesting, I haven’t had time to try it out.

I think OpenSUSE is a great choice for anyone who wants to actually learn Linux, which is what the OP asked for.

X13 here, I can’t recommend it enough.

How does Noctalia compare to DMS? They seem to be very similar projects, and I’m just curious to hear from people who have tried both.

as if math graduates could do that sort of addition in their head

I have no experience with HPC clusters, just dropping in to contribute my opinions on the NixOS stuff.

I won’t be actively maintaining the cluster at all times and find it nice that if someone needs some software I can point them to the configuration and tell them to modify it and then just update the system.

This sounds good in theory, but in practice few people will have the know-how or patience to make changes to your config.

I read that NixOs can have problems with cuda drivers and custom compiled software, which would definitely be a deal breaker.

NixOS is very flexible and you can certainly bake custom compiled software into the builds, but expect a steep learning curve.

I love NixOS but I wouldn’t commend it to people who are at a point in their sysadmin trajectory where they haven’t heard of Ansible. (It’s not just that Nix has a learning curve, it’s that you’re seriously screwed if you can’t tell the difference between a Nix problem and a regular package / kernel issue.)

OP, use Ansible.

Start with ctrl+p, ctrl+a but yes

Factorio

Off-topic, but isn’t Fedora technically upstream from RHEL?

Lenovo ThinkPads work very nicely with Linux, and there’s a large second-hand market. The T and X series are especially great I find.

The usual advice about avoiding soldered RAM holds in general, but right now used laptops are being bought just for stripping RAM. So I think putting up with soldered RAM in second hand devices (I’d go for at least 32G) can be a smart move because it may be a better deal (and often a smaller form factor).

Have you tried

Outline?

I recently set it up and I’m very impressed.

This is not difficult to achieve at all with tools like sed or awk. But unless you provide a concrete example input file or files, all we can do is point to those tools.

The problem is that /-o will also match something like --my-irrelevant-option.

Word boundaries match the end (or the beginning) of the word.

How exactly to do it depends on the regex library, my less is built with PCRE2 therefore I can do /-o\b.

Seems like the router doesn’t like how the headers are passed on. You could try:

login.router.lan {
    reverse_proxy 192.168.1.1:80 {
        header_up Host {upstream_hostport}
    }
}

IIRC some plugins stopped returning results through the VPN interface that qbittorrent was bound to. I moved on to other methods.
