I did half of that. I looked at the commands to see what it did, what folders it made. Then I checked that the dockers pulled is the same from the official docker sites. I pasted the codes in rather than manual typing though. I’ve done this from sonarr, radar, audiobookshelf, jellyfin and sabnzbd.

The terminal commands to get dockers working I did copy directly from deepseek after checking it’s the same on docker’s site. Weird part is I tried to follow docker’s instructions first but it didn’t work. Then after looking at deepseek, it gave the same instructions from a different page of deepseek. So what I copied into command should have been the same.

Other than that I don’t really install anything as I’m quite paranoid about these stuff.

Nah I just ask deepseek. It set up a set of dockers for me in 2 minutes and also gave me commands to create my folder structures.

Best part is, if they do switch over they won’t go back. Not having to deal either bloat and telemetry is worth it.

Maybe use a more friendly distro like Linux mint. It’s very similar to windows, and you don’t need to use the terminal.

Made the upgrade last week to Linux mint and I’m loving it. Got my Arr stacks and stuff setup as dockers and it’s never worked so well. All the connection issues I’ve had on windows is now gone.

The interface is nice and not bloated. And I’m not being tracked which feels liberating.
