Let's talk about Linux

Do you have questions, news or want to talk about Linux or it's distros? Dump it all here. We also could talk about certain packages, web servers like Apache2, NginX, Caddy and the like. Everything that has to do with the topic of Linux.

I'd directly start off with a question. What distribution do you use? I use Ubuntu 22.

I use ubuntu 24.04 on server. works grate

Ubuntu 24.something, eventually going to switch to Debian.

yeah. herd good things about debian. tryed it on a spair computer I had and thought it was good. but I don't think I'm going to swich from ubuntu if there's nothing wrong with it and works fine. that's just dum tbh

If you ever find yourself bored with about two hours to spare, manually install Arch Linux for the first time. It's even better if you can figure out to boot back into the live environment in case you forgot something. You may learn something.

I use ubuntu 24.04 for the vps

just swiched to debian like 1 month ago. idk why I even did it. there both the same. but what ever

Lol same, I'm also on the Debian track now. Doesn't matter to much but I just know more people using it.

yup me too.

I mean like I'm not going to reinstall, but if I ever have to reinstall for what ever reason I'm going back to ubuntu maybe because there was no point

the only thing that I can tell is that I'm quite inprest with how little ram debian use's. I'm hosting apache with like 3 websites, 3 teamtalk servers, like 3 other tt bots and I'm only useing 491 mb of ram

I'm hosting Nginx and Gitea and I think SQL or mariaDB both in Docker and not sure about RAM usage but it's fine. Also some stuff like Cockpit und auto updaters are running aside.

you could use something like inxi to check resources easy. sudo apt install inxi. then you can do something like inxi -m for ram or inxi -d for storage or inxi -c for cpu info

Or just use TOP. I know, I'm just to lazy lol.

so am I. but not lasy anuff to install inxi I guess

Debian is far lighter and more stable than Ubuntu generally. I've used it for years, never had an issue.

Man is there some guide on this type of stuff? I want to host my own survers for, like the hell of it, also to see how that type of stuff works.

lol idk maybe google?

Yeah, you literally can find anything there. And even if it's the dumbest thing you google related to Linux.
