Was going to say this, I’m a professional too beginning without formal training (whatever exactly thst covers). Did some certificates and stuff later on which may or may not still be relevant (due to specific fields).

I think you might want to have a look at a MiSTer fpga.

(it provides a very authentic experience and can launch games with tags if you choose so)

Are razer drivers in Linux also with mandatory razer account creation, login and activation?

Hmm, I would propose setting things up in your LAN step by step. But it would take a long time.

• setting up your own dns
• setting up your own webserver

It’s something someone experienced could make (poc style - proof of concept) in an hour or so, just to show how it works, but it’s a lot for a beginner.

Still, you could start making a simple Webserver hosting a page and then setting up dns for it and pointing a client to the dna server and see how that works.

It’s infinetly expandable.

Actually, I’m not really sure. I mean I was sure at that time that it was a recommendation but as I am an autist (unbeknownst to me at that time) it could’ve been one of those ‘obviously’ not serious recommendations.

Yeah, some people are really bad at recommending a Distro for specific usage.

When I started with Linux, quite a while back, I was recommended gentoo.

It’s now my least favorite choice 😁

I think it can be a good thing, and while it is better than not doing it it is no comparison to an expert. This is not to say it’s worthless or anything though!

Someone has to say it: when you’re asking these questions it shows that you still have a lot to learn. That itself is fine.

But you’re at significant risk when putting a service on the internet so it would be best maybe to have someone at your side to assist you with beginner mistakes.
