For sure! There's a reason why I on all of my personal computing devices and servers that I refuse to have anything Microsoft related. All I run at home is Linux and BSD.
Wow! I did't think that the IBM PC Jr. would even be capable of running a TCP/IP stack let alone a small, low power web server. That's pretty dang impressive.
Having to deal with frustrated and angry users unloading on me because I cannot fix their issues right away is probably my biggest thing that makes me stressed out. I work in Windows Desktop Support, need I say anymore?
This is kind of intriguing. I like FreeBSD's userland tools a lot better. Have you tried running it? If not, I might see what it's all about. The GNU toolchain is a mixed bag. Some of it is really well documented, some stuff average, and others is just a dog's breakfast.
Yes, I apologize for the assumption that you are US-based. The 988 help line is the recent addition to our system. Instead of summoning the police which makes everything worse, this gets mental health assistance.
Yes, you can. You need a hypervisor that is capable of IOMMU. I know for a fact that you can do it with libvirtd and KVM/qemu. I think you can do it with Proxmox. That much said, I've no experience doing this myself.
They can be both. Unfortunately human beings tend to be very tribal and subjective. Therefore my opinion is that they can be some mixture of both depending on the subject matter and how impassioned the moderator chooses to be.
I have mixed feelings about this, but before I pass any kind of judgement, I want to see what directions this goes in. I happen to really like AlmaLinux. I run it as the OS on my proxy server and it has been very reliable. I am more critical of this misguided marketing notion of "Enterprise Linux." It has everyone in fear, most notably the PHB, of running Linux. If you have the in-house tools and expertise to run Linux, the whole "Enterprise Linux" FUD should not apply.
What the idiots in charge want is somebody to yell at if things don't work and to throw their weight around. What they don't know is that there is enough legalese in the terms of use to basically render Red Hat and IBM blameless. You know how difficult it is to sue a software company? It's very hard.
For sure! There's a reason why I on all of my personal computing devices and servers that I refuse to have anything Microsoft related. All I run at home is Linux and BSD.
