It runs quite well; Docker's not a full fledged virtual machine so much as a virtualization layer. I also love the portability of running this in Docker. I rsync a backup of this and the Appdata folder every night. When or if this server fails, I can be up and running again in minutes on another machine.
I think a lot of it is anxiety; being replaced by AI, the continued enshitification of the services I loved, and the ever present notion that AI is, "the answer." After a while, it gets old and that anxiety mixes in with annoyance -- a perfect cocktail of animosity.
And AI stole em dashes from me, but that's a me-problem.
Back when I dual booted, I had the most success keeping Windows on a separate drive completely. After making the Linux drive the primary boot device, GRUB would pick it up and I'd be off to the races. I now just keep a Windows VM -- it's been much easier to deal with.
I'd agree with the exception of Rocket.Chat. I hosted an instance for years. Over that time, basic features kept slipping behind a paywall despite being "open source," and fully self hosted. It's fully nagware at this point.
I had my whole group of friends and family jump to Matrix a year ago. Instead of basic features becoming paid features... there are no features!
Edit: I re-read your comment. Yes, RC "requires check-in." My bad.
