People who deeply care about this typically use a distro which has a strong stance on FLOSS software like Debian or Fedora
Arch Linux is more free on this as long as the user gets a more conveniant way to install everything (even proprietary software)
the Arch Linux way however is also reading every PKGBUILD (where the license is stated) before installing and if you need to have an easier way to search through licenses just programatically solve this yourself i.e. by using https://github.com/archlinux/aur and going through all branches with a script
My Arch Linux Homeserver and VPS which ran since years are like: “huh?”
Not a single Ubuntu upgrade failure on my book anymore 🤞
hope this helps with the dumbster fire of the virtualbox version in the official Ubuntu repositories
(virtual box basically “breaks” on Ubuntu LTS once a newer HWE kernel gets released unless you install a newer version of it, leading to hundreds of support threads every time this happens)
.zip is already a thing

I’m using Caddy (sometimes in a container or most of the time as system package) as reverse proxy mostly for containers
I try to minimize non-container services but they work well with Caddy too
Traefik is a tad more complex (still nowhere near Apache2 levels though) but scales more easily espcially if you only run containers and start/stop them programatically
if you are open to learn something new: Caddy webserver has a dead simple config, fetches tls certs by default for you and works with crowdsec too
If we are talking Silverblue then podman is your pick for everything Flatpack “can’t”
there is no big push for cli flatpack since this already a solved cause with containers for podman/docker/kubernetes
however no matter how you approach this you will always have dependency security issues
unless you built every flatpack/container yourself you are at the whim of the creator of it to keep every dependecy updated
this is already a known vulnerability factor in the container sphere on topbl of the threat of 0-day exploits
even consumer SSDs have around 1500 TBW (Terrabytes written) per TB until warrenty excludes any failure
which means you could write for example every day for 10 years 400 GB on a 1 TB SSD
this is already a very low estimate, most SSDs do better
anyway OP mentioned enterprise SSDs which can write 1.0x or 2.0x it’s own size every day for 10 years
afaik linux and windows shows different GPU memory clock speeds but it’s basically the same (1:2 conversion)
most likely because bigger number = better?
my AMD 6000 cards does the same
the most honest reason I read about is probably that former Twitter user who felt out of place on Mastodon or other Activitypub servers because the “Nerds” who care about privacy and decentral systems which were already on it have a different microblogging culture and they didn’t want adept
so now a new competitor gets traction because the people who felt out of place on Mastodon can relife the Twitter experience from over a decade ago
the fake exclusivity even make you feel special despite the lack of features
typically it’s based on the last kernel release of the year which gets promoted to LTS, not because of certain features
Some people hate it for not following the unix philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well, but at this point nothing does except stuff like
cat
.
you can actually write iso images to thumb drives with cat
cat linux.iso > /dev/disk/by-id/usb-My_flash_drive
using external kerner driver (“out of tree”) come with caveats you need to take care of
typically most linux distros will do this completely transparent but certain usecases will be more complicated
espcially if you install packages outside of your linux distro repository like a newer kernel version or an older Virtual Box version
if you just need software to set up virtual machines you might look into Gnome Boxes or virt-manager which don’t require external kernel modules like Virtuap Box to work
anyway these issues typically happen on Ubuntu based distros (like Linux Mint) because your linux kernel is to new for the Virtual Box version (or the Virtual Box version is simply too old)
for someones who values security above everything else thats totally fine
but for someone who wants to reduce e-waste by prolonging the life of a phone with at least some updates this might be not the best solution
CalyxOS supports Pixel devices far longer than GrapheneOS does (they drop them once Google drops support too)
the amount of plugins are also amazing
convert non-lossy files automatically to aac? fetch lyrics? push updates to mpd/sonos/jellyfin?
If you care about DoT or DoH Adguard Home will support it out of the box (which is why I use it)
you can make pi-hole also support DoH/DoT albeit little bit more complicated with an extra service like stubby/unbound
otherwise it really doesn’t matter, both are open source and easy to setup for unencrypted dns requests
you probably have old hardware in that case
the latest kernel releases greatly helped with the effiency of newer AMD and Intel (Hybrid) CPUs which can give you a longer battery usage on laptops
