    As a heavy gamer, never say those words 😂

    Well, recommendation isn’t based only on being gamer. But I noticed heavy gamers tend to more proactive in learning how their system works and tweak their system to their needs. I got one converted into Arch user. It’s like heavy gamers have attention and initiative.

    and as IT student, this is really interesting.

    It was interesting even to some school students. I think I first Installed Gentoo somewhere in 6th grade.

    How well do containers

    Should be fine. Long time ago I tried to use lxc. It worked.

    virtual machines

    KVM works really well, I didn’t try Xen.

    and flatpaks work?

    Didn’t need, didn’t try. There is nothing preventing them from working.

    I was thinking about learning self hosting, emacs, and xmonad on a pi4.

    I am running Gentoo 24/7 on noname chinese TV box on Allwinner A10 with 1GB of RAM. I wrote device tree myself and compiled mainline u-boot. Most of packages I precompile on my desktop with crossdev, that has exactly same make.conf. Same for Rock64 SBC, but it’s sitting powered off. Also I did small modifications to devicetree for it as well. I can answer some qutsions.

    TV box runs tor node 24/7 and private search of fimfarchive.
