On the one hand it would be great if I could quickly, easily, efficiently, and effectively do everything that I need via one frontend, but I actually like being spread out across several, as it helps me understand Hive better, plus I also always have my beloved backups! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Yes indeed! I am struggling with the same duality there! Ideally it would be a good generic Frontend for most of the everyday stuff, and then good decent in-depth powertools for the more advanced stuff!
And backups! Very important for sure!!!
I figured. Different frontends just do things so much better then others, but no frontend does everything in an ideal way. Yes, I agree about the specialized powertools, which is a very UNIX/Linux way of doing things! Always backups, always! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Yup! My heart lies at the Linux kernel 😂 since over 25yrs already, and still! Although I do use Mac at home 😂 but that’s more for the imaging possibilities, and still the access to a decent Unix shell.

Yep, yet another similarity and reason that we get along so well! I've used Linux for over 12 years now, 6 years on Ubuntu, and the last 6 on Arch Linux. You can be forgiven for you minor transgression. Yep, the Unix/Linux shell rocks! If I had a spare computer, I'd install FreeBSD, as I'm rather fascinated by it, and I very much appreciate the engineering principles applied in its development. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Indeed! Yet another similarity!! 😂
Well, I’ve started on Yggdrasil Linux, then not too much later Red Hat, to rather quickly go to SUSE, and I was VeRY active there! I wrote their marketing quote “Linux: separating the men from the boys”, and codeveloped the ppp connection software.
After that I went Ubuntu, but heavily modified, mostly with Gnome & he Enlightenment, and WindowMaker frontends (for which I created many themes and some little tools as well).
Nowadays it depends on the use, but most of the times when installing a server, I default to CentOS or Archlinux.
I have been running FreeBSD a few times, and liked it😎 but never as a main system.

Yeppers! Damn, that was an early iteration of Linux! You've had an incredibly impressive bit of experience with Linux! Everything I know or know how to do, I learned it myself, and I'm still going strong! I think it's interesting that you use Arch as one of your server options. It is quite flexible and easy to set up as a server. Yeah, I've got to get FreeBSD installed on something soon! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Yep, quite some experience here :-) I also learned everything myself. When I was in college, studying it, it was all windows NT, nothing else. For my graduation project, i had set up a 14 node Linux cluster 3d rendering engine. And they had no idea what I was doing. But they were f*ing impressed 😂😂😂
