Basically Linux mint or bazzite is the system and how it’s organized while plasma is how I’m seeing that system represented and interacting with it in other words?

Yup, seems like you got the gist of it!

Obviously once you start reading documents on software you’ll start to understand it all better. Suggest reading into the Docker engine for self-hosting software on your network!

how does plasma and Debian fit in cus that stuff is ringing a bell.

Distributions like Ubuntu, Kali Linux, Linux Mint are actually based off of Debian however, each distribution provides their own packages and typically have system files in different places, so packages made for Ubuntu may or may not work with Debian and vice-versa.

Like plasma being separate than a distro

KDE Plasma is a Desktop Environment (aka your desktop). When you install a Linux distro on your computer you’ll typically be given an option on which software you want to pre install. You’ll see software like GNOME, KDE Plasma, Xfce, Cinnamon, etc and by doing a little research into them you can pick the environment that suites you best.

GNOME gave me MacOS vibes while KDE is more Windows.

Hope this explains things easily!

I personally started out with Debian given that a vast majority of distributions are Debian based, typically paired with KDE Plasma 5 for my desktop environment, and learned from there.

Now Debian is really stable but does require command-line configuration quite often so it may feel complicated but if you’re capable of reading & following documentation then you should be all good.

Currently in the process of fixing up my old Asus TUF FX505DU with Debian & KDE Plasma.

Setting up Nvidia Optimus would be a pain if it weren’t for Envy Control, run one command and boom GPU’s speak nicely to one another.

I mean general concept is they all are suppose to talk to each other in some sort. Prowlarr will provide indexers to Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, etc (just going to call them the ARR’s) the ARR’s will associate the results of those indexers to TMDB/TVDB and whenever you decide to download something the ARR’s will communicate with your download/torrent client, once your download is complete the ARR’s will mark it as complete and move it to the directory/folder of your choosing making organization easy and let’s Jellyfin/Plex see the files in the way they should be shown. You can reverse proxy all these for security reasons or to avoid annoying ssl errors.

Honestly to start I would say learn the docker engine & docker compose first.

What baffles me is how they intentionally make their games unplayable on Linux, and the same can be said about EA.

The only thing I had to work around was downloading the deb build of Discord Canary to enable audio output in Discord streams since it was only recently added to Discord’s dev/beta build (Canary).

Keep in mind Linux is all about FOSS, if the software you use doesn’t have all the features you want look around for alternatives.

I encountered this same issue when installing Discord and opted to use Vencord instead.

While I am left leaning currently no liberal wants to protect legal-firearm owners. Every gun-ban they issue doesn’t do anything to stop criminals from obtaining illegal firearms.
