I was on a Microsoft systems admin/engineer path for a while and an opportunity opened for a KVM/XEN engineer and I was the one only person in my office to accept the offer. That was back in the RHEL/CentOS 4 days.
After playing around a bit I got hooked and haven’t gone back down the MS path since then.
I have 2 PCs running Arch currently. My SBC is running Ubuntu but that is just a print service for my 3d printer. I have a few Ubuntu & Fedora vns for testing and self study
Have you used this? Is there any benefits over bash-completion?
This might not be 100% what you’re looking for but I am running Reolink cameras and a Qnap NAS with QVR PRO. The reolink cameras are accessible through IP and some protocol I can’t remember right now. So you might be able to get them to work with your setup
Congratulations on having something that helped your life. That’s honestly great. But come on you have to admit they manage to find a way to mess up your personal time. Like clockwork my daughter will start waking up/have a nightmare/want attention/etc a few min after I get time to read/study/game/Netflix/etc…
Kids are great and suck at the same time
What I did when I switched was to create an image of my existing install with clonezilla then used it in a vm. This way I didn’t have to worry about a dual boot configuration.
Been a while since I did this but it should still work
I have 3 cyber power UPSs on my network and I haven’t had any issues with them. The web interface isn’t the best but it does it job
I will second the Roku. I tried this a few years ago and kept running into issues. Some sites like Netflix don’t offer HD resolution on PC. Then there are other services that have sketchy support for Linux. HBO and peacock are 2 examples.
I use my PC for personal streaming and a Roku for the main TV
I have been on Arch a few years now. I switched before the installer was a thing because I wanted to learn more about building my own system. Got hooked and still using it as a daily driver. I normally have to reinstall every 6 months or so. Usually my issues are all self inflicted. I’ll try something new and cause something else to break. I have a laptop that has been running for 18+ months without any issues. But that is web browsing and light text editing.
So the distro is stable just depends on how much you tinker with it, but that’s true for all distros
I have been going through Azure training for work and I have been doing all my training/dev on Arch. I haven’t run into any issues with c#. Haven’t had to use Omni Sharp that I can recall but vscode has been working fine with c#
Never thought about HDMI being the issue. My new monitors are display port and have been working fine. So a HDMI bug is probably the cause
What type of monitors do you have?I had the same issues with my BenQ monitors about 2 years ago and never found a solution. I ended up using it as an excuse to upgrade from 1080 to 1440.
Everything worked fine for a few years with the BenQ then after an update it started happening.
Have you tried a different distro? Just boot from a USB image and give it a few min to sleep. Wondering if it is a x11 or Wayland issue with older monitors
Mostly cost. We used to run a lot of Oracle databases and they have become extremely expensive to keep running. So we are migrating to PostgreSQL. The servers were getting migrated to CentOS but now that RedHat fucked that distro we are going back to RedHat. Part of that deal is switching from chef to Ansible. So to save costs we are consolidating to a single vendor.

It really depends. I work for a large company and we use Ubuntu, Oracle, RedHat, and SLES. We were moving from Oracle to Ubuntu but now we are going back to RedHat.
Currently we deploy like this: Ubuntu: PostgreSQL, web servers, some engineering workstations, and big data Oracle & RedHat: web servers, security applications, and network systems
So just having a fundamental understanding of Linux and you will be fine SUSE: SAP and HR software
At work we are starting to transition to Ansible from chef and other homegrown solutions. So to learn Ansible I added awx to my home lab and now have playbooks for almost all of my devices. Going to format a Pi again soon and see if everything works as intended
Garuda. Looked pretty and tried it for a day or two and noped out. Went back to Manjaro before I figured out how to install Arch without the installer
