The manifold renderer is a game changer. I seriously didn’t like OpenSCAD before that.

I ran on a Celeron J1900 for a while and for basic home services it was great.

I didn’t do any emulation or media transcoding so I can’t comment there. But I did run vpn / nas / web host kinda stuff.

That’s a beast! Post a video of it in action!

It’s a great learning exercise but challenging to get right and ensure your deliverability and basically impossible from a residential-grade IP address (if you have a business class static IP at home you could pull it off).

I ran an email server for decades but gave in and pay to host my email now.

If google decides you’re a bad guy it’s such a pain to crawl back from that and I prefer my email to just work.

Which features of Lightroom are important to you? The editing capabilities? Organizational capabilities? Cloud sync?

You’re almost certainly fine. Check the Live DVD, but I’d bet it works seamlessly.

It would be nigh impossible to list all the hardware Bookworm is able to support. What are you looking to run it on? Anything obscure?

I live about 90% in various terminal windows.

I’m multi-machine and play in my homelab stuff a lot, so I sit in mosh/tmux/vim all day long. This has been my usual experience for a long long time. My experimentation tends to be on the GUI side of things, trying out this “vs code” thing everyone is talking about…

but I’ll still never live without a GUI, browsing sucks so hard in a terminal now. It’s basically unworkable.

Did I miss something in the MK4 announcement? I thought the MMU was compatible with your MK3S+

For the MK4 stuff, I need to see an independent person do a side-by-side. I’m sure it’s better, but I’m not sure it matters enough to me, a casual, to spend $hundreds.
