I'm in the process of switching from Windows 11 to CachyOS on my home machine. Of course, my setup also includes .NET development tooling. And with the upcoming .NET 11 release, I want to have access to its latest preview installed as well. However, the installation initially failed because the dotnet-sdk-preview-bin package from the user repository was in conflict with the dotnet-sdk-10.0 package from the official repository I already had installed.
As I'm adding more services to my home lab server, I reached a point at which I want to expose some of them to the internet but keep others available only in the internal network. To securely do so from a single virtual machine, I want to serve the two groups of services via a different interface controller. But my virtual machine only had one. How difficult could it be to add a second one?
With Windows 10 support officially ending, I decided to install Linux Mint on one of my older machines which isn't supported by Windows 11. The transition was really smooth for the most part with the exception of getting my Xerox Phaser 6000 printer to work.
