Weirdly I find Silverblue to be much more relaxing _because_ I can't fuck up my laptop one night while trying to get something to "just work". I _have_ to spin up a container or a VM, but then I can just delete it again. Before Silverblue I would always eventually land up in a place where I was scared to upgrade because of some weird thing I did a few months back which I only half-remember, leading ultimately to a rebuild.

With that said, I applaud the goal here. If it's not fun then you'd better be making a lot of money - and even then, it should be at least sort-of fun!

Sounds like procrastination disguised as tooling. I see this often: people and teams hit a wall and, instead of breaking through it, they collect tools and gear as if scaling it will somehow be easier.

Wow I like some order but this guy need some help!

I always read blogs of this type and immediately try and find what the author has actually built. Usually it’s either absolutely nothing or a simple blog generator. Nothing wrong with that, but if you want to build stuff you eventually need to stop config twiddling and do it. Hope it works out for her.
