Thanks! Yeah, I have noticed a lot of places where the location of things is not necessarily a requirement but it is considered “proper”. It’s a whole different paradigm compared to the rather severely rigid requirements of Windows. I went through a lot of documentation about services and the real eureka moment was when I realized it was more or less just a command being run with extra fluff around it like environment variables and such. I have the service placed in the /etc/systemd/system directory, where all the other ones valve made are. I have seen how powerful systemd can be when leveraged well but for the moment I’m pleased with the results. Thanks for the encouragement!
Oh, this is a flipping great question. So much fun as I’ve just settled on one distro. M$ won’t allow me to transfer my transferrable Windows license and I refuse o pay yetagain for Windows so Linux is my sole OS from now on. I have had so many weird issues or configuration woes with a ton of OSs ive been trying. So I tell ya, I sure have installed my fair share of them in the last month or so.

Of course there are tons of other small things I add but those are the ones I will have installed likely before I go to reboot for the first time. The rest of what I interact with is generally running on my server so it’s all web based stuff for the most part. I use VNC often to interact with virtual machines, do tech support for my son so i don’t have to get up (disabled). I haven’t really found a Linux VNC client i genuinely like. I used to use TightVNC with Windows and it’s about the only thing I miss. I do have a Guacamole docker running on my network but unless you have a physical KB/M it’s less than preferable to use. I’ll find something I like eventually I’m sure. 👍-----
