Guess I was asking that from a very Florida perspective lol

You mean you don’t use a windshield cover?

Yeah we had to deal with that too, but are definitely not even using VirtualBox for anything. Seems like they gave up easy in our case.

If you’re using a software suite that requires Oracle Database, it and RHEL are safe options. It’s used where I work for that reason, but only relating to said software. This vendor only officially supports those 2 distros, and to a lesser extent Windows.

Barely ever posted on Reddit, but have already outdone the total post count here. Haven’t posted in a while though, mostly because of post-work brain melt

They are definitely valuable crew members

Personal files: Syncthing between all devices and a TrueNAS Scale NAS. TrueNAS does snapshots 4 times a day, with a retention policy of 30 days. From there, a nightly sync to Backblaze B2 happens, also with a 30 day retention policy. Occasional manual backups to external drives too.

Homelab/Servers: Proxmox VM and LXC container exports nightly to TrueNAS, with a retention policy of 7 days. A separate weekly export happens to a separate TrueNAS share, that gets synced to B2 weekly, with a retention policy of 30 says. Also has occasional external drive backups.

I went from being able to walk to school where I used to live, to the bus being my only feasible option where I live now and during middle/high school. Only got picked up when absolutely necessary, because my dad’s commute times didn’t quite line up. After school stuff was something I only got to experience in the walking days, and the brief time a friend volunteered to take me home from the robotics club he was already in (which unfortunately dissolved like 2 weeks after).

Honestly, I feel more comfortable participating on Lemmy than I ever did on Reddit or Twitter.

Look at themmm

• Main Gaming/Editing PC - Windows 11 - While I have had good experiences with PopOS as a dual boot, I’m probably staying on Windows on this machine to not worry about hardware compatibility. My main issues on Linux distros came to my WiFi 6 USB adapter not being well supported (running an Ethernet drop to this room is infeasible at the moment, but a future plan), power state issues regarding standby mode and shutdown, and the GPU (3060ti) only really working well on PopOS. Davinci Resolve also apparently only works with H.264 or H.265 video codecs on Linux if you get the paid version, probably because of licensing relating to those, which I may get eventually. I also like Windows 11 way more than 10, surprisingly.
• Laptop - Linux Mint - Rock solid when you’re just talking about a machine with integrated components. Has Timeshift for system restoring preinstalled, and is light on resources while still fulfilling my needs outside of gaming and video editing. I can still play light games (it’s a slower laptop) like Celeste or Vampire Survivors fine though, but really leave that for the main PC.
• Homelab servers - Proxmox running mostly Ubuntu Server VMs and LXC containers - Honestly as with any homelab, this may change just for the sake of testing things, but having this setup on my previous Ryzen 5 1600 desktop, and an HP mini PC works out pretty well. Most of what I test or use is at the service or development level anyway.
