If you’ve already got Docker available, testcontainers is awesome!!

I like little SQLite in-memory DBs for testing sometimes but just accepted the annoying friction of a slightly different SQL dialect (typically use PG). Testcontainers was a “have my cake and eat it too” situation, really like it.

Yep I use KDE-flavored Bazzite and actually forgot GNOME was even offered! It works deliciously. Came over from Windows last winter finally and boy, the UI alone is just so much nicer.
