@Oksana Uninstalling ESXi and replacing it with almost anything else, Proxmox, XCP-ng, KVM....

@EddieJennings I hear you mine has as well, but wanted to check and see how things were going and surprised to see how much has disappeared. I guess it makes sense though.

@IThomeboy80 said in Linux: flatpak vs apt / apt get:

APT is old-school, system-level, and tight. Flatpak is modern, sandboxed, and chunky.

I wouldn't characterize as old-school vs. modern. Flatpak is based on an older technique before things like APT existed. APT and its ilk were designed as a response to the chunky systems of the past allowing for more efficient shared resources and better patch visibility.

We've been using Deepin as part of our desktop strategy since 2017. It's very good.

Raw device mapping is still useful when you want direct LUN access from a VM, keep storage workflows on the array, or need physical mode behavior for specific workloads.
Our new article by Alex Bykovskyi for StarWind explains what RDM is, the difference between virtual and physical compatibility modes, how to present LUNs to ESXi hosts, and how to attach an RDM disk to a VM step by step. Read more here: https://starwind.com/s/142

Don't do this, you'll just create headaches for anyone following after you.
