You can install it and start it only if needed, there’s no need to fiddle with your current DE

I think most selfhosters already know/use Linux, so management issues are already known. About the ease of use, if you manage services with docker it’s really easy to bring them up/down, and if you want some GUI there’s portainer.

Also you have to repeat some parts right after telling them, so technically they’re hearing it 4 times ;D

Yeah, I love open source and privacy, but developers are staying on github because it’s not enshittified (yet).
