If I may offer a suggestion:
OpenwebUI in a docker image, cloudflare tunnel set up to enable access outside the home, the cheapest domain name you can get.
You can selfhost your ChatGPT bot so you can keep your data to yourself!
You’ll need a decently powerful PC at home, nothing crazy, any decent gaming rig from the last 5 years should run it fine!
I wish Fedora worked for me, something about it just doesn’t run right on my lappy and I like to have the same distro on all my machines so it’s a nogo across the board for me.
I like Fedora, it’s nice, it just absolutely won’t play nice with my macbook and I’m not gonna get a new laptop just for better Fedora support when this 14 year old hunk’o’junk still works perfectly with mint.
Rolling release/bleeding edge means security updates roll out fast.
I’ve got a blank macbook air at home waiting for a project.
I’ve never undergone a project like this without cheating by using bedrock linux as an intermediary then “Unbedrocking” my install (officially impossible, unofficially insane) with another PM as my default to convert from debian to arch years ago.
This is gonna be fun, or hellish, idk I’ll find out.
My game changer was circa 2014 when I broke something and got dropped to a basic shell and for the first time instead of panicking and immediately reinstalling I thought for a moment about what I had just done to break it, and undid the change manually. Wouldn’t you know it booted right up like normal.
The lesson here: if it broke, you probably broke it, and if you know how you broke it, you know how to fix it.
I use mint on my daily-driver/gaming-rig/mediaserver. I’ve been a Linux user for 20 years, eventually you just want a normal distro with sane defaults. Mint is wonderful.
