IBM's Red Hat and Canonical's Snap both earned the anger they get.

I still run RHEL and Ubuntu at work. Arch at home, Debian in the lab.

Letting a vendor grudge pick your skill set isn't principle — it's cutting off your own career to spite a logo.

apt vs dnf vs pacman is a shell-prompt argument, not an architecture one.

Run what you love at home. Support what's on the floor at work.

Package management is one of those things every Linux admin should know cold.

Search for a package: dnf search packagename
Install it: dnf install packagename
Check what's installed: rpm -qa | grep packagename
Remove it cleanly: dnf remove packagename

Your package manager is your best friend. Treat it accordingly.

A cautionary tale:

#Linux #RHEL #VideoServer

So, at @show we have two #45Drives servers... one is a storinator, running our main video production disk set, with about 700 TiB of drives. The second is a much older (pre-storinator) storage pod, with severely limited I/O but about 400 TiB for the urgent "DO NOT DELETE" stuff on it.

The first is called "Kennedy". It has shares on it named after the Shuttles.

The second is called "Baikonur" it has one share - Buran. It's used for backups.

-----

Before the thanksgiving break, I left both Kennedy and Baikonur up for an extended period, because I was 1) tweaking backups from Kennedy to Baikonur, and 2) I was doing some scrubs.
Turned it off on Friday. Didn't think much about it - other than about three weeks ago, I'd told the server

"Sudo Yum Update"
You can see where this is going.
Kennedy runs Rocky, which of course is RHEL-based.
RHEL doesn't have ZFS natively, so you end up using open-ZFS.
I told Kennedy to update. It did. Silently, building its kernel, without ZFS support.

OH BUT DEAR READER IT GETS BETTER.

Booting the machine, Samba goes "OK, I have THESE SHARES. It is THE LAW that I must MAKE THESE SHARES AVAILABLE". And Samba, being the pit of plague filled pestilence that it is, goes "I MUST SHARE THESE" and then goes "HUH, I CAN'T READ THESE SO LA LA LA LA I WILL MAKE THEM ANYWAY"
So, I logged in to the server, expecting files, and saw nothing. None of the 700TiB of files were there . NONE. No data, nothing. The share was there, it just wansn't mapped.

sigh

After ten minutes, I realized that the new RHEL kernel doesn't have ZFS modules yet that work with it, so... I rolled back 😉

And what have we learned children?

ALWAYS READ RELEASE NOTES and ALWAYS CHECK COMPATIBILITY before doing SERVER UPGRADES.

@Cfkschaller How crazy and/or how much of a non-starter this idea would even be:

RHEL Workstation's desktop components as an application stream.

The core motivation here is to enable RHEL customers to use the latest Workstation environment on older RHEL versions (within logistical and practical reasoning). For example, GNOME 47 from RHEL 10 available for installation on RHEL 9.

I've just merged a huge PR to my #Orked (O-tomated RKE Distribution - GREAT NAME I KNOW) that makes it easier than ever for anyone to set up a production-ready #RKE2 #Kubernetes cluster in their #homelab.

With this collection of scripts, all you need to do is just provision the nodes required, including a login/management node, and run the scripts right from the login node to configure all of the other nodes to make up the cluster. This setup includes:

- Configuring the Login node with any required or essential dependencies (such as #Helm, #Docker, #k9s, #kubens, #kubectx, etc.)

- Setup passwordless #SSH access from the Login node to the rest of the Kubernetes nodes

- Update the hosts file for strictly necessary name resolution on the Login node and between the Kubernetes nodes

- Necessary, best practice configurations for all of the Kubernetes nodes including networking configuration, disabling unnecessary services, disabling swap, loading required modules, etc.

- Installation and configuration of RKE2 on all the Kubernetes nodes and joining them together as a cluster

- Installation and configuration of #Longhorn storage, including formatting/configuring their virtual disks on the Worker nodes

- Deployment and configuration of #MetalLB as the cluster's load-balancer

- Deployment and configuration of #Ingress #NGINX as the ingress controller and reverse proxy for the cluster - this helps manage external access to the services in the cluster

- Setup and configuration of #cert-manager to obtain and renew #LetsEncrypt certs automatically - supports both #DNS and HTTP validation with #Cloudflare

- Installation and configuration of #csi-driver-smb which adds support for integrating your external SMB storage to the Kubernetes cluster

Besides these, there are also some other helper scripts to make certain related tasks easy such as a script to set a unique static IP address and hostname, and another to toggle #SELinux enforcement to on or off - should you need to turn it off (temporarily).

If you already have an existing RKE2 cluster, there's a step-by-step guide on how you could use it to easily configure and join additional nodes to your cluster if you're planning on expanding.

Orked currently expects and supports #RockyLinux 8+ (should also support any other #RHEL distros such as #AlmaLinux), but I am planning to improve the project over time by adding more #Linux distros, #IPv6 support, and possibly even #K3s for a more lightweight #RaspberryPi cluster for example.

I've used this exact setup to deploy and manage vital services to hundreds of unique clients/organisations that I've become obsessed with sharing it to everyone and making it easier to get started. If this is something that interests you, feel free to check it out!

So, #Linux users of #Mastodon, what is your recommendation for a #distro for a techy person who used to use Linux ( #MEPIS was my favorite flavor back when I was using #Nix regularly, but I did run #Mint, #Ubuntu (12.04 or 12.10 was the last version I ran exclusively as the main OS on one of my PCs...which, was, 11ish years ago? Rude), #Xubuntu, #Lubuntu, #Kubuntu (getting the picture?), #PuppyLinux, #ArchLinux, #Slackware (is that still a thing?), #KaliLinux (Started using it when it was #BackTrack, though), #FreeBSD, #FedoraLinux (12 or 13?), #RedHat (#RHEL) etc.

You get the picture...I used mostly #Canonical / #Debian based OSes, but had a sprinkling of #RPM based, and others. I did some small modifications to the #Kernel and such, Almost got MEPIS running on an old #IBM #ThinkPad, and was able to salvage a lot of data from "dead," machines thanks to 'Nix.

These days, however, I just want one that works. I have way too much going on to mod and have to mess with it constantly to keep it working.
