Hello there lemmings! Finally I have taken up the courage to buy a low power mini PC to be my first homeserver (Ryzen 5500U, 16GB RAM, 512 SSD, already have 6TB external HDD tho). I have basically no tangible experience with Debian or Fedora-based system, since my daily drivers are Arch-based (although I’m planning to switch my laptop over to Fedora).

What’s your experiences with Debian and Rocky as a homeserver OS?

      Sudo is fine, just use a good password. Anyone setting up NOPASSWD has given up on security, it’s not a thing in real practice.

      That is a strict position some have, but I didn’t say this. Editing /etc/sudoers and giving sudo or wheel group users a no-passwd access is insecure.

      sudo chmod 1777 /tmp

      will not ask you for
      passwd, it is like bypassing sudo

      If you open sudoers you will see what I’m saying. In debiuntu it is sudo group in arch/void … it is wheel group
