That’s nice, I think I’ll switch from Firefox ESR on Debian!

You could package it and install with pipx

Crunchbang (#!) linux breathed live into some very wimpy hardware I’ve had in the past.

Loved the minimalism.

In my student years, I always ran with Xubuntu on a used thinkpad.

Although I’m a gnome guy these days, I still need Thunar as my default file manager. It’s nearly perfect…

I run Debian with gnome, headless and raspi and love it.

Used Ubuntu for years, also had a good time and still respect the project even though it deviated from my needs.

Sometimes I’ll boot up something new just to poke around but I’m happy sticking with Debian for the time being.

Desktop: Macintosh (<X) -> Windows (XP-10) w/occasional Ubuntu dual-boot (various DEs) -> Debian + Gnome

Server: Ubuntu LTS -> Debian

I’ve also had a number of used thinkpads over the years where I mostly ran Xubuntu and crunchbang.

I still boot into Windows every month or so if I need to model something in Rhino (CAD). Couldn’t get it working in Wine and my 12 YO computer isn’t performant enough to run it in a VM. The last thread remaining and waiting to be cut…

I’ve had a particularly difficult time with CUDA/Pytorch in WSL. Also with Windows not reclaiming memory…

But don’t get me wrong, WSL has helped a lot when I’ve needed to use Windows at work.

In my experience:

• No lockfile, and using the third party conda-lock is clunky
• Painfully slow solver, although the libmamba solver came to the rescue
• Conda-forge can lag behind pypi by weeks, depending on the package

Interesting, but if I have to use Windows then I would consider Conda depending on my dependency situation.

I don’t particularly like Conda, or Windows, but what I like even less is manually finding wheels for my project. For something like GDAL, I wouldn’t even try on Windows without Conda. I think it’s also easy for a beginner to get up and running with this setup.

My preferred setup is pyenv on Linux with poetry :)

I remember getting a Ubuntu CD box set many years ago when I ordered free disks in the mail as a teenager. The box was well constructed, prints of high quality and the CD labels were especially sharp.

Crazy how physical media was king back then.

After getting used to the vanilla Gnome flow, at home and at work, even MacOS starts to feel a bit clunky.

Love the minimalism of Gnome with the stability of Debian.

Sadly, still dual boot for rhino, in a VM I’m just not getting enough performance out of my aging pc.

A Linux version would be a dream come true.

Are you sure?

This was in the linked article:

• Caching for offline use

Same! Debian with gnome on my desktop and work laptop. Raspbian on my Pi4. Headless Debian in the cloud…

I’m also a gnome shell convert. Down with the taskbar!

As a 4 day tech worker, 1 day community gardener, I can vouch for the therapeutic nature!

#! brings back some good memories :)

Am I understanding correctly that you are building the image by copying in key elements from the host machine’s functioning nginx installation?

This is creative but not common approach to docker.

Normally software is installed following the officially documented procedure (imagine installing using apt or a shell script via RUN). Sometimes software documentation has specific recommendations to follow for containerized installs.

It’s common to have the version defined as a variable where a change in value invalidates the docker layer cache. To me it’s unclear how caching would work with your dockerfile, for example, in the event of a upgrade. You could also see how a breaking change (such as one in the paths you are copying) could run into issues with your hardcoded approach.

In the case of software like nginx, I would use the official image, mount config/cert files instead of copying, and extend in my own dockerfile if needed.
