  • I’d say that journalctl is not only boot, but every service that runs on the computer has its logs collected through it, so you can use it as journalctl --grep="your regex". You can also add -k to check kernel logs, -b -n to check nth precedent boot or -b n to check the absolute nth boot. There is a lot that you can check with it and it is quite nice :)

    Otherwise, I like eza as an ls replacement, or batcat as a human friendly cat











  • What kind of annoying things are you dealing with?

    Troubleshooting with a machinectl session, switching between services, backing up… It is small annoyances but if I can avoid them i’d like it.

    You don’t have to put the user home in /var/lib either if that helps at all.

    I half regret doing it.

    If you’re already running rootless, I’d keep doing that unless there’s a really good reason not to.

    The plan is about switching to a single user, I will stick to rootless podman this is for sure. It is more about dedicated users or a single one.
