Not too long ago, I switched from two Hetzner Cloud VPS to one netcup VPS, with integrating my mailserver setup into my hosting setup. It works fine so far. To keep things simple and because I’m back on Ubuntu on my laptop, I decided to just go with Ubuntu on the VPS as well.

But stumbling over bootc, I can’t stop the thinking of whether I should switch to a bootc setup. The whole OS is configured via a Containerfile, automatically rebuilt and updated with continuous integration. Using tools like Docker or Podman, I’m already familiar with.

It’s quite appealing to me and might be one of my next weekend projects…

Ubuntu makes my computer just a tool

With the first point release of Ubuntu 26.04 in the form of Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS, I can briefly summarize my thoughts about being back on Ubuntu for almost half a year now.

Some of my favorite Flatpak apps

Almost two months ago, I switched back to Ubuntu as my primary operating system. While I still have a Windows 11 VM, I never really use it. Ubuntu 26.04 fits all my needs I had since switching to it. While I installed it during the beta, the final LTS version has also been released since then.

The last days I was quite busy mentally. So here are some thoughts I just need to write down to get them off my head and give you something to read. 😄

Will I switch back to Ubuntu?

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

I re-enabled my old trusty 2013-manufactured Lenovo ThinkPad S1 Yoga which I used during my studies. I had Ubuntu 24.04 installed on it for some time but never really used it. But now, I upgraded it to the latest development build of Ubuntu 26.04 to check the current state of Ubuntu and Linux on the desktop. And to check if I really switch to it as my main operating system.

After migrating to Nextcloud, I’ve been thinking about switching back to Linux as my daily driver operating system. I used Linux for years before eventually returning to Windows.

When I tell people about programming or my work, they often say software development is too abstract for them. But there are moments when I think that about some software as well.

WSL 2 support for Linux GUI apps is coming soon

Published on in 🔗 Links

Last year’s announcement that WSL 2 would soon support Linux GUI apps seems to be getting more real, as the feature is now present in an Insider build. Running Linux GUI apps in WSL 2 then makes such workarounds as I once described unnecessary. I’m curious to see in which release the feature will end up.
