Set up a domain with a main site that has links to your different services, then set up reverse proxies so you can put certificates on them and serve them all on port 443. If your WAN IP is relatively static then you can forward ports 80 and 443 to your server and use your own domain, if not you can use something like FreeDNS. Or skip the last bit if you don’t need WAN access.
I wish I could see the comments on this thread I made. Not sure what’s wrong with lemmy, it’s been like this since I started the thread two days ago. When I click the thread I just see my original post, no comments. Same result if I open the thread from the Selfhosted channel. If I view my own profile history and click the context button, the site just loads forever and never shows anything.
You may be right that bluetooth now works out of the box on Linux, but that certainly wasn’t the case a year or two ago. And I know for a fact that touchscreens are still hit and miss. I don’t know what improvements have been made to the Network Manager, but I suspect it’s still pretty bare-bones.
It’s possible that things have changed drastically very recently, but I suspect the Linux situation is still mostly the same as before: it’s great for web servers, but frustrating - bordering on unusable - for regular users.
Well, if your needs are very simple then I can certainly understand why you’d be happy with Linux. But regular users need for things like Bluetooth, touchscreens and VPNs to “just work”. I could spend three hours getting my bluetooth microphone to work on Linux or I can just use Windows. The decision is simple.
Is Debian so much better than Ubuntu or Mint? I tried both of those recently and had no end of troubles. Bluetooth was terrible, the Network Manager didn’t appear to support MFA or split tunnelling, etc.
So much bad advice on here. On Windows 11 Pro, just select “Domain join instead”.
