As long as you are okay with using the web versions of office, you can basically go with any distro, since all of them have at least a web browser and virtualbox in their repositories, as well as vs code. Jetbrains also works (I’ve only used intellij but I assume the others are just as easy to set up). I’ve never tried visual studio on linux though, not sure how well that works.

Nextcloud notes is really nice.

I use a self-hosted vpn, because I don’t want to expose anything to the internet. The ones I do want to, I haven’t set up yet since it would require reinstalling my pi. But I do have a reverse proxy set up on a vps that I will use once I get around to doing it.

On the server side, as soon as you switch to a modified server software (even just bukkit) - it contains modifications to the original game, and as such, I don’t think it can be considered vanilla.

Gentoo. I say this as someone who used to daily drive it.

And arch too.

There is some obscure/proprietary hardware that doesn’t play nicely with linux. Fingerprint readers may not work on laptops, for example. I’ve had trouble with a trackpad in the past.

I do have one for my family, but everyone seems to forget about its existence when I don’t mention it. So I am the only user right now.

The vps communicates with the rpi through a vpn.

I have not heard of duck dns nor lstio, but I’ll check it out when I get home.

How would I use that in this situation? I don’t get it. I already have a vpn set up to communicate between the two devices, and have been successfully running multiple services in this configuration for about a month. It’s just XMPP that I’m having trouble with.

IMHO arch is way too overrated. It does include a lot of stuff in the repos that others don’t have, but the benefit end there in my opinion. My experience on fedora has been way better.
