I would not claim on best distro for all the types of tasks, but in certain areas, when you well, just need stable Linux compatible environment related to sysadmin and development tasks - indeed it rocks, agree.

From the article: > "expect to see more Ubuntu WSL users than ‘native’ Ubuntu users over the coming months.” As happy WSL user myself, I can see why it grows and drives Ubuntu adoption too.

embedding transparent containers into Windows native apps looks huge, extra cool is GPU access from container and mentioned OpenClaw like tool cases in mind, ports and folders. Like the idea!

Yep Try to search vacancies for FreeBSD or candidates with FreeBSD knowledge/background, you will be surprised, its desert. Even TrueNAS realized it's a dead end for reaching wide audience needs and migrated to Linux (as you menti

Hard to tell about FreeBSD, it's basically extincted, but think of webhosting servers, wordpress, cPanel/Plesk and alike. often it's ssh'able with things like rbash and other restrictions and almost always you, well, can

I had bad feelings on MC, as it's flaky. Far Manager or Dos Navigator are much better IMO.

Well, there is Aider-CE aka Cecli, which moves, updates almost every day (I'm tried to try it but much). Opencode is totally different beast comparing to Aider and I mostly stopped using Aider for 2 months or so - it just iterate simpl

Genuine question, as someone who never used Claude Code, but used OpenCode/Aider/GeminiCli - as many here say Opencode is better, mind sharing why (from end user perspective)? I was thinking to try Claude Code later and may recons

> Figure 9: Durable writes with io_uring. Left: Writes and fsync are issued via io_uring or manually linked in the application. Right: Enterprise SSDs do not require fsync after writes. This sounds strange to me, of not requiring fsync.

Note that Aider is not much maintained over last 3 months or so, there is a fork Aider CE, though I'm just watching their changes through rss and not used myself. I'm more in Opencode world now and its in general more efficient fo

it may happen that you just don't need it - the same way not everyone need to use vim/neovim. without tmux/screen though, it's much harder, even less reliable, to work over ssh, so it becomes natural need for such sort o

Indeed, I agree here, Linux, and basically Unix was not designed to work without administrator. I would argue that more time was spent on thinking "how we do hotplug CPU on our machine" than on "how that user will work with U
