Comment on What self hosting feels like (It's painful, please help đĽ˛)

However, self-hosting isnât a desktop Linux thing, itâs a server Linux thing. You can host it on your desktop, but as soon as you do anything remotely server-related, CLI familiarity is pretty much essential.

That depends on your use case for desktop linux of course. For me, yabridge is the tool I needed to run VSTs on Linux. Its CLI only as far as I know.
Donât get me wrong; Iâm not afraid of the CLI. Its just some tools are assuming the end user is a server admin or someone with deeper than the upper crust knowledge of how Linux works.

Ah, thatâs a pretty niche use-case. But yeah, the deeper you go, the more youâll have to rely on the CLI.
