   almost done with the initial setup here. Debating how the hell to handle the Calibre problem though... I want to try and avoid flatpak and nix if I can to be pure gentoo but jesus the amount of deps that calibre pulls in is ridiculous.
   
   Also yes I'm aware the fonts in the default waybar aren't working I'm gettin there lol.

     Qt is great, especially lxqt + openbox. Wayland is the true villian, I fucking HATE wayland, with a passion (I'm also forced to use it).

     Linux/BSD hobby burnout is a thing, for me I still use the stuff, my focus just shifted. I view them more as tools, and not so much as something thrilling or exotic these days. That's the only difference.

     @gnarley_boot @thegreatape Setting up the tools right is the niceest thing you can do, servers are much more fun when it comes to software and hardware stuff tbh.

     I hear a lot of people say that and it makes me nervous :sadcat: I love crafting my specific setup that's perfect for me, and always trying to improve it

     this isn't even finished yet the rice is still cooking. I got a much nicer custom waybar I need to translate from nix home-manager to actual config file.

     I used to be into this stuff, but no more. Now I like stock settings and the work I do on the machines is more important to me than the aesthetics. I've basically settled into LTS Ubuntu with a real-time kernel on my production machine. It's airgapped and I plan on never updating (it already has all the software it needs). If I do need something, I have big enough toolchain installed that I can compile most code. The interface is a nice lxqt + openbox rice that does it for me.
     
     When it come to internet stuff, I do all of that on a nice little arm device that has a cellular modem.
