The trait hides only the spell’s spellcasting actions and manifestations, not its effects, so an observer might still see a ray streak out from you or see you vanish into thin air.
I'm currently running a home server using Ubuntu OS, but I'd like to try and explore other options for operating systems to better my skills with linux/unix.
What are you hoping to explore? Distrohopping servers is pretty much pointless, especially if you're using docker.
Like you're going to use dnf to install docker instead of apt, maybe configure selinux instead of apparmor, and that's it. Definitely not worth it IMO.
It's a paid product, but for personal use you're only paying for the support or for the number of licenses. The most corporate of all distros offers full functionality for free unlike what op is asking for.
I think you know its not just a matter of "clicking a setting in a gui once"
I know it is that simple because I've done it while running MX on my devices... You can even switch between the two at boot freely.
Why would you choose a non systemd based distro only to just switch it over to systemd? Why over complicate thinga for a new user who is clearly just starting out? Just use normal debian!
It comes with tools that make system management a lot easier for beginners. I think that's more than a fair trade for having to click a single setting in a gui.
You obviously haven't used MX, and I have no clue where you're pulling your opinions out of from. Give it a try instead of continuing to spew nonsense.
