I have to use some programming tools and languages to code; installing them side by side and updating was a major hassle. Now I just have some aliases in command prompt.
Docket desktop was a major religious experience for me; much easier than before
I just want to learn to use it to make my home server easier to manage. But your use case does make perfect sense.
And it sounds like in your case you need new and fancy, if I had to start over I would do arch
Honestly, the server runs pi-hole, which I wanna switch for Adguard Home at some point, and Syncthing. Really not much running, but if Docker makes it easier to update and manage I want to learn how it works.
But yes, I do want new and shiny. Just because it's a very simple home setup that doesn't have to be absolutely rock-solid stable. Also helps me feel more at ease about security fixes and such.
