I am a Fedora fan, but I do think that they may have issues with needing to upgrade every year. I am currently holding off on a Fedora 40-41 upgrade on my school laptop until finals are done, just in case something breaks.

I've been on Fedora since about 32ish? And I've had a couple of times where the upgrade didn't go smooth.

For grandparents, I'd probably lean towards Debian with Gnome.

I did this for a few systems, but it doesn't do major build updates. I'm getting full screen "You need to upgrade" notifications on a few 21h02 machines now, yet Windows update says it's up to date.

One time, I took an old server to a school with screwdrivers and had the kids disassemble it. They loved it. They were all like, "I know where the pictures live!" And "This is where the Internet goes in!" It was actually even fun for me, and the teacher had a bunch of questions too.

Best way to turn an old server into scrap.

I would also like to know this.

Agreed. I have a VPS exit node for 4$/month, took an hour to set up, never once come within a mile of hitting my bandwidth cap on it.

The clients run on everything.

Overheard recently: "People complain too much these days... So annoying!"

cheers Also, I apologize in advance for forgetting this, and complaining later.

Ugh. The realization that 21.04 was actually three and a half years ago has me a bit depressed...

The rook taking pieces was my favorite thing! We had it for the Amiga.

Setting up docker to host a couple of containers from Linux is only a couple of commands, depending on your distro. Basically, install a few packages, create a group for docker, add yourself to that group.

Harder in Windows, probably, but I've never tried it.

Me too! Surprisingly easy to set up from docker. Like, four commands?
