- Comment on Why would someone choose ubuntu server over a headless debian installation? 10 months ago:
I like Ubuntu Server. It’s got a nice installer that is simple and straight to the point, and lots of documentation. I’m also very familiar with it if I need to troubleshoot.
That said, I don’t like snaps and every new version pushes them harder. I’m currently learning openSUSE to see if it can become my new go-to for servers.
I always run Linux servers headless, so how the distro does GUI (if an option) is not relevant to me in this scenario.
- Comment on I hope this post qualifies, but laptop on last legs, planning for a replacement... 10 months ago:
I have always been a laptop guy my whole life because the portability, flexibility and comfortability of them.
Decades ago, I would say that laptops didn’t really have these attributes. Back in the day, they were heavy, most had short battery life, and were very slow compared to a decent desktop. Laptops have come a long way in three decades. :)
