Converted the secondary (and more work) PC to Tumbleweed this week.
It's a notebook with nVidia/Optimus so I ended up installing the binary
blob "the hard way" in order to get Steam/Proton stuff working. But
it's working quite nicely. Played a few missions of Armored Core VI on
it this evening.

Next up is seeing if I can get the disk image from the Windows install
to run as a VM, just in case I need it for something.

This on the other hand needed immediate attention a few weeks ago: the
Snap-based Nextcloud installation broke and I couldn't fix it. So, I
spent the time rebuilding the VM to run the Docker AIO setup. The
hardest part of this was figuring out how to use my own SSL
certificates with the Caddy reverse proxy. It's simple, but not simply
documented. For anyone who cares, follow Nextcloud's instructions for
setup and add this line to your reverse proxy settings block:

    tls /etc/caddy/certs/fullchain.pem /etc/caddy/certs/privkey.pem

and make sure the caddy user can read the files.
