can't imagine a world in which I'd download a little known distro to put on my home network and use as a server. also, doesn't fedora already have something like this already?
Game’s truly gone. I remember when all we did was try to find the most obscure indie band of a Linux distro, form emotional attachments and then argue their merits.
Of course you can choose a general purpose Linux dist. But you'll still have to go through the extra work of partitioning the disk, installing the system, selecting packages, possibly follow some other guide to install Docker Engine, Docker Compose, Docker Buildx, and doing that thing with the docker group. At that point you'll pretty much have what Lightwhale provides out of the box. Except you'll be left with a system that isn't immutable, and where system and data is entangled on one filesystem. And if that's your thing, you should do definitely that. But...
If you just want to run your containers, then Lightwhale is best in class.
I wouldn't trust it. When I do check its work, I often find factual or corectness errors. No way it's going to be the last step of defense against its own mistakes. I mean for me. Other people seem to have more luck. I'm probably still holding it wrong.
That's my point - it's great as a tool to talk something through or rubber duck it, but as soon as you just let it loose to slop out thousands of lines a day and never read them all you're really doing is filling your base with thousands of lines of technical debt.
Having to figure out which distros are "good" or not, with the internet full of people arguing about those points, is another entry on the "why Linux isn't a good choice for most people" list.
totally agree with you, though I have 3 sets of $20 bluetooth sets that I rotate on various devices and have no complaints whatsoever. Also use a DAC and $300 set of can on PC, so I know what good audio sounds like.
