I got your joke ( it was not subtle ). I have absolutely no idea why that would prevent me from making my comment.

I would love to find time to play with Gleam
Bachefs is in the kernel now so trying it on a spare drive or partition is super trivial these days depending on distro. You only need a few minutes of time.
Getting it on root is a bit harder as almost no installers support it yet. The only distro I can think of is CachyOS.
Well, Ubuntu does not force you to use GNOME and GNOME is not exclusive to Ubuntu.
So, what you are basically saying is that you use Ubuntu and hate GNOME.
Whenever I see this spin, I just want to say: “No it wasn’t. It was compiled with Clang.”
Thanks for the EDIT because I thought I had really missed something.
I am addicted to Arch and the AUR but it is precisely that it is NOT Arch that makes Vanilla look attractive. Do I REALLY need multiple new kernels per month like Arch gives me?
Having a more stable base sounds like a great idea. Using containers to get access to the Arch repositories and the AUR on top of Debian sounds even better. Vanilla bakes support for that scenario right in.
Not sure what you are saying here.
Regular Mint is based on Ubuntu. It is perhaps the most user-friendly distro.
LMDE is Debian based but includes all the same user facing tools and features.
I do not use Mint ( not a newb ) but it is a great distribution and great for beginners.
I did not know this. Thank you for the history lesson.
Or just start introducing Linux containers and VMs that run on Linux. You can use Docker Desktop and Putty from Windows.
I almost want to agree with parts of this but I cannot imagine the downvotes for supporting a comment that includes “never hear about Jenkins” and “don’t learn Docker”.
Jenkins has about 50% market share for anybody keeping score at home. In many verticals, the market leader has about 35% market share so 50% gives Jenkins enough domination in the market that saying “never hear about” them is going to hurt your credibility.
I think most organizations using Kubernetes should not. However, most of those would still benefit from containerization and so knowing Docker is a good thing even if you use a different tech ( Podman is the same thing ). While I think people should not be using Kubernetes as much as they do, it is still going to help you to know it when you are asking those people to hire you.
Knowing Python is fantastic advice for DevOps and IT in general.
Ansible and Puppet are solid recommendations. I think Ansible is the market leader ( probably about a third ).
Keycloak is great but it had less than 5% market share and so not knowing it is not going to hurt.
Well, they could have been joking too. But touché.
I agree with this. In the case of Chimera Linux, it is a goal of the distro to have “no legacy” and so it is Wayland and Pipewire only from the start. That limited their choices back when they were making the decision.
Xfce is still X only although they are making progress.
