A personal journey from Windows to Linux in 2023, covering the transition to Debian, setting up GPU passthrough for gaming VMs, and building a self-hosting infrastructure. Started with a VPS for hosting a Hugo website and email, then evolved from a Raspberry Pi 4 to a full Proxmox-based home server running Syncthing, PiHole, and Wireguard VPN. Includes practical details on system administration tools like Nginx, Certbot, and Crowdsec, with plans to explore more distros and contribute to open source projects.
