My stuff is all in docker-compose with a stack/service structure, so listing it is as simple as running tree, and reading the individual YAML files if I need in-depth details.

Solid advice. Good to mention too: use btrfs as filesystem for a better experience with Timeshift.

If you have an interest in Arch, I'd recommend starting with a derivative distro like EndeavourOS. It'll give you an easy installation process and a desktop that's ready to use.

Then just use it as your daily driver. You'll eventually run into the occasional issue when package X or Y upgrades and breaks something, learn to fix that, and eventually learn the "ins and outs" of Arch. That's how I started, I went from Mint to Antergos, used that for a while, then when Antergos was discontinued (RIP) I converted my install to "pure" Arch and never looked back.

Just echoing what others said, Plank does not run on Wayland. You can install the "Dash to Dock" Gnome extension for a very similar experience (minus widgets). If using KDE, consider replacing Guake (which is GTK) with Yakuake (Qt).

Amazing work, these look great!

Timeshift with BTRFS kicks ass. I have mine set for daily snapshots, retained for a week. Only the changes between snapshots are stored, so the extra disk usage is minimal, and easily justified by the peace of mind in case of fuck-ups or broken updates.

+1 for Immich. It's the most complete and competent Google Photos replacement yet.

I don't have the source right now, but I had the same idea not long ago, and the tl;dr is swap on a zvol is a very bad idea. If your system ever runs low on memory and actually needs to do heavy swapping, you're setting yourself up for a catastrophe.

My streaming service (Jellyfin) always has all the seasons of everything. 😉

If they take long or don't resolve it, try the live support chat. I used the chat inside their app to request it and it was unlocked pretty much instantly.

O2 has an on-by-default security filter that blocks all sorts of "bad stuff". For me, it was preventing connecting to any PIA VPN servers. Ping their customer support and they can disable it for you.
