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.

What's your experiences with Debian and Rocky as a homeserver OS? (external-content.duckduckgo.com)

Hello there lemmings! Finally I have taken up the courage to buy a low power mini PC to be my first homeserver (Ryzen 5500U, 16GB RAM, 512 SSD, already have 6TB external HDD tho). I have basically no tangible experience with Debian or Fedora-based system, since my daily drivers are Arch-based (although I'm planning to switch my laptop over to Fedora).

The official image jellyfin/jellyfin tracks unstable

Why did they make that choice? I am on this version right now, didn't know it was unstable. I found it very difficult to have information regarding the docker images in general, it's a pity we don't have a few lines explaining what the content is.

It's more like "latest" tracks unstable, because unstable evolves much faster and it puts out versions more often. Unfortunately there's a practice going around that makes people just the :latest tag for everything and they don't always stop to consider the implications (which may be different for each project).
