I have tons of great suggestions depending on your hardware and what kinds of things you’d like to be hosting.

However, for starters, if you’re not doing so already, make sure you are binding your qBittorrent container to a privacy VPN network interface. Test it to ensure it’s working. There are sites out there that you can use to check how your torrent IP presents. No matter what you’re torrenting, keep your IP hidden. The last thing you want is your ISP to terminate your fancy new service.

NixOS is the new “I use arch btw.”

It’s mostly useful for stability in appliances and reproducibility in large scale deployments.

IMO, I don’t think immutability makes sense for desktop use. The whole point of a desktop is to make it personalized.

Kind of. Matrix is the most supported, and works very well. However, it doesn’t have feature parity with Discord. Voice/video chat can be added via integrations, but it takes quite a few modifications to the server’s infrastructure.

It’s also a bit more complicated to navigate,

Revolt is being created as a proper FOSS Discord replacement (similar UI even), but it’s pretty early in development. It also lacks federation, which is a huge caveat imo.

Just in time to ride the hype wave. Maybe they’ll release a MOBA next.

You know you live in the universe, but you never go see these things until someone comes to visit.
