The ergonomics look great.

Seconding GNOME, it’s beautiful and highly customizable!

Lots of docker guides + documentation just don’t work, specifically with podman-compose. The networking options are not fully featured, I ended up having to rig up a bunch of kubernetes services just to be able to use my VPN as a network bridge for my media server stack. I got podman working eventually because I think it’s neat, but it definitely would have been twice as easy to just use docker.

In my personal experience, it’s just not as fully featured.

I do a lot of docker/k8s at work, and I use podman at home. Podman is very cool in theory but still rough around the edges. I recommend docker if you just want to get started, Podman is a little extra work.

I play a Baba Yaga witch, and you can get pretty creative with Spirit Object (if your GM agrees). We recently fought a gibbering mouther with weakness to bludgeoning damage, so I spirit object’d a +1 mace we had picked up earlier in the dungeon in order to attack, while simultaneously delivering the weapon to our champion in the front line! You can also combine it with consumables, like a smokestick to conceal your allies, or a pint of oil to start small fires.

I’ve been playing a trouble under otari + abomination vaults campaign for about two years now!

I play a level 4 baba yaga witch (familiar master dedication), and my familiar is a button-eyed doll with master’s form. Pronouns are they/them, which is especially easy for me because they’re never apart. They’re the party’s utility character- they can fly, pick locks, manipulate distant objects, and their pack has 2 of every mundane/alchemical item in the game. They deal very little damage with the occult spell list but they get into the funniest high jinks.

Insanity rules sound neat! Do you have them written down anywhere?

This is the way, imo. At the end of the day, it’s a game and you want a character that is fun to play. Plus the mechanics get me excited to try new and weird ancestry/background combinations.
