Hah! I knew it. I knew the fediverse would pop up as I explore Gemini. Adding this to my collection of platforms to try.
homelab
There we go. #Snac2 up and running with the preferred installation process. Added custom styling to boot. One confusion point with styling is that it does NOT affect the root page (greeting.html) only the profile pages. So I thought I had done something wrong, but finally figured it out.
I yanked 
#Manjaro off of my mother's laptop and replaced it with a nicely customized 
#NixOS.
She now has a button to pull config updates from my #homelab and build it (also done regularly in the background). Old versions stay selectable at boot.
When she has a problem, there's shortcuts for #RustDesk and ad-hoc reverse #SSH tunnels.
I can test everything in a VM, then add changes, she'll pick it up eventually or right away.
Loosely inspired by @codemonkeymike's #nixbook.
