If you’re using systemd they just recently introduced run0 which works very similarly to what’s talked about here

A lot of companies run Debian and Debian based distros, Google on their servers for a start

Does the UX suck? Genuine question. Debian is where I moved after I outgrew mint and I’ve never had a problem with it or felt like it was cludgy

I suppose that’s true. I also don’t install the predefined GUI options. I always install my GUI manually after disabling recommended packages. Recommended packages are my biggest Debian gripe. They’re great for users that don’t know what they’re doing but for power users I find it kinda bloated. I should probably try flatpak again but last time I did it was just annoying and in the way and gave up.

I personally like to start with a debloated install and then install gnome on top rather than the other way round. Honestly to point 4 it slightly baffles me that people use vbox on Linux, KVM with libvirt/virt-manager is so much more powerful while still allowing for fairly straightforward basic setups without introducing 3rd party modules. Seems like a no brainer to me but apparently it isn’t.

Cool that they’re still running though. I’ve never setup a Linux system that I then had to turn over. They’re all systems I maintain, I’m not entirely sure what my plan would be for a maintenance free machine that I expected other people to use.

Shared folders are easy with Linux guests, you just set it up in virt-manager and then mount it in Linux. With windows it’s possible and I have done it but you need to install the virtiofs driver alongside winfsp and then make sure the virtiofs service is running. So the setup is definitely a bit obtuse. I haven’t done clipboard sharing deliberately as I don’t love the idea of that being synced but I should at least try it so I know what setup is like. The file sharing isn’t hard once you learn how to set it up but figuring it out the first time is a challenge for windows guests.

Meanwhile one of my projects is running my own caching CDN for my sites(personal not production)

Consistently? Not that I can think of either but there was that one judge in the Oracle v Google Java case that I believe learned enough programming to call BS on oracle’s claims.

Holy crap…you mean the thing eclipse has had forever -_-…one of many IntelliJ complaints that’s kept me on eclipse falls. Wonder if they’ll improve the others too.

I find I ask less questions now because I’m a better programmer and just visit the site less in general. I used to ask a lot. I actually don’t find that many duplicates though, usually when I have a question there isn’t already an answer… usually because when I have a question I’m doing something insane, I find I do that a lot lol.
