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