This largely mirrors my own experience. There are so many things that "just work" for me that don't in other distros. If something doesn't, the solution is usually a few more lines max in the config, then once you fix it, it stays working forever unless the package itself makes a breaking change.

Yeah, self-hosting is cool and people advocate to do it for digital freedom reasons, which is good, but they never mention that it can very quickly cost a LOT of money, time, space to do it yourself at home.
