If you want to get a better context for what I am going to write here, you can check that out first.</p> <p>Yes, that&rsquo;s right, I have build my very own home lab running Debian 13 Trixie, and it&rsquo;s a life changer. For starters, I have completely ditched services like ChatGPT, Proton Drive, Google Photos, Spotify, Netflix, Amazon Music and so on. Now I host all of that in my own server, well, not exactly the <em>same</em> services, but the open source free (as in freedom) alternatives.</p> https://eloymelo.com/posts/goodbye-windows/ Mon, 15 Dec 2025 02:32:36 -0300 https://eloymelo.com/posts/goodbye-windows/ <p>Well, I am back to Linux, and this time I believe it&rsquo;s for good. Before I tell you why I am completely switching, let me give you some context.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve been on and off of Linux Distros for quite some time now. However, in late November of this year, I found myself in a pickle. Since I&rsquo;m currently unemployed and with no money to continue paying for services like Proton Drive, Proton Pass, things of that nature, I decided to look into the self hosted aspect of things. I tried to do all of that using Windows, it kinda worked, but it felt wrong, I had some weird issues. Then I thought: &ldquo;Now this is a great opportunity to install once more a Linux Distro and try it out over there.&rdquo;. I couldn&rsquo;t be more right. I installed Fedora 43 on my main tower, configured everything and I was ready to go. All working flawlessly with a server working with Debian as well, all perfect. I will definitely write a post about this whole process in the future.</p>
