  • I get your point in dual boot being less of a headache, but learning some libvirt/qemu and running your own virtual machines is a lot of fun.
    I went for a virtual Fedora Workstation with VFIO and a dummy plug. Then I use Sunshine/Moonlight to stream my gaming session to whichever device I feel like using.

    Anytime I wanna try something I feel might crash my Fedora I simply backup the virtual machine files and go to town on it.
    If I fail I roll back and try again.
    I run my servers the same way, as virtual machines that I can easily backup and experiment with, and I do think it makes learning a lot quicker.







  • For a server I would second checking out Debian 12/Bookworm. It has been real solid for me. I run a qemu/kvm/libvirt virtual host and then run my services in virtual Debian servers. Makes them easy to backup and allows me to reboot my Jellyfin server without taking down my Game server and vice versa.
    I guess running a container system would be the modern way of doing the same thing.
