At least they have some kind of choice…

Hah I don’t have that privilege but same mindset. It is weird to me that in many companies you were deprived of choice at least. Linux can be worse too but let me just try it and see.

Automation of the Cloud deployment.

• OpenStack with Kolla Ansible
• just Ansible
• sometimes Bash scripting or Python

Monitoring

• Prometheus with Grafana and AlertManager

Bare metal automation

• Some BMC stuff
• MAAS

Fileserver maintance

• MooseFS with Samba
• Ceph OSDs cluster

And any other that for now I don’t have much time like

• AWX with Kubernetes

Yeah that’s another thing that Windows can break in the same way as Linux.

For me it’s

• apt
• vim / neovim
• tmux / screen
• Ansible
• BAAAAASH
• and some other commands that I use seldom but from time to time.

Oh my that sounds even worse than at my company. I don’t understand also why disallow WSL. And yeah I don’t think that this is laptop’s fault anymore, just has been enshititifacted with software bloat.

It is always interesting to me that companies can afford new Macs but not use old laptops for Linux.

Trueee Just get the job done and that’s all.

Mac is still better evil than Windows but same thinking.

What about native Linux apps do you miss?

Shame but understandable.

Changes from the upstream can make your system nonfunctional. For example VPN for remote connection. They change something, push to Windows but on Linux you need to figure it out by yourself.

Interesting you exclude AMD.

Any? I was thinking of MSI or Asus motherboards.

In a short - no. I was thinking of not using proprietary firmware on motherboard but I see that is not possible.

Ah I see

VRAM and RAM I think. Still AMD seems always slower than Nvidia for some reason for this purpose. Same for Blender benchmarks.

Ah I use my AMD GPU with Bazzite and it is wonderful.

CPU does not matter when GPU matters. Otherwise small models will do fine on CPU especially with more recent instructions for running LLMs.

If anyone struggles with plenty of ego identification and unhelpful destructive thoughts I recommend meditating. 30-day guest pass https://dynamic.wakingup.com/guestpass/SC13AF7E5

You can also ask a support for a 1 year for free when you ccan’t afford it.

Great ones!

Never heard of the Crosscode.

I tried Disco Elysium for 3h and then stopped playing. But this game seems unique.

Nice!
