Never too late to switch. Welcome to the club.

Ahah those pictures of Richard Stallman.

No. That is why I shared my configs. With opcache and opcache.validate_timestamps = 0 you don’t have this problem anymore.

Of course you also need to enable opcache itself as well.

Or you have really slow spinning disks or something. Also be sure to use php 8.4.

• Wekan for Todo list /kanban.
• GitLab for my source code and projects.
• synapse for my own matrix server
• mastodon for fediverse
• mbin for fediverse
• mumble for voip
• nextcloud for my files, calandar and contacts
• plantuml server
• many self created telegram bots
• many websites. Like blog.melroy.org, explorer.melroy.org or Libreweb.org or techwiki.org and so much more…

And then the list goes on and on. Like prometheus, grafana, uptime Kuma, mariadb, Valkey, postgresql, unbound dns, all those things…

You can optimize php a lot for performance. See my config https://gitlab.melroy.org/-/snippets/91

Back in my days I was also disappointed that schools weren’t using Linux. So I totally agree with you.

Linux was always readyfor the education sector. I think already for 10 years now.

Look. I use both nvidia and amd video cards for 20 plus years.

The experience under Linux using amd in factually better than Nvidia. Mainly because AMD open source their drivers and are part of the kernel.

You can’t deny this fact. The only down side of open source in this particular case is the stupid HDMI Forum people, who do not allow us to have the latest hdmi implementation for 4k 120hz in an open source driver. Which is part of the license, where consumers are paying for. So that is ridiculous from the hdmi forum.

Anyhow, the user is free to choose whatever video card they wish to use. Hack try even the latest Intel Gpus. But also with Intel the firmware update are horrible outdated and they do not maintain they sht

lol? This is the best advice I can give people… What is wrong with you?

On your next pc go with an amd gpu. Just saying.

Currently linux mint offers an easy way to install Nvidia drivers. Avoid compiling the drivers from source.

its a April’s fool joke yes.

Not really… We do have this wonderful list(s): https://github.com/firehol/blocklist-ipsets

And my firewall is using for example the Spamhaus drop list source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/firehol/blocklist-ipsets/refs/heads/master/spamhaus_drop.netset

So I know its possible. And hosting in a git repo like that, will scale a lot. Since tons of people using this already that way.

I found a very large botnet in Brazil mainly and several other countries. And abuseipdb.com is not marking those IPs are a thread. We need a better solution.

I think a honeypot is a good way. Another way is to use proof of work basically on the client side. Or we need a better place to share all stupid web scraping bot IPs.

yeah I also use SFTP using FileZilla. Or like everybody mentioned including yourself, rsync to sync files across computers. Or even scp.

I use Framework 13 with AMD for my Linux laptop, love it. I do not want to go back to any other brand.

Yeah, he didn’t share any information about the brand or vendor.

Some vendors also have multiple BIOS-es on the same GPU card (like one overclocked BIOS, and the other is a “normal” BIOS).

You could check if there is a physical switch to switch between modes on your GPU. And see if the other GPU BIOS is also behaving like this.

The reason why I would choose linux mint. Is the stability of the whole distro. It’s pretty solid. You can still upgrade kernels. Or even install mainline kernel tool if you wish.

Furthermore, Linux mint provide an easy tool to install drivers, in case you’re running a Nvidia card. And Mint is just basically Ubuntu under the hood,without the crap of Ubuntu. Meaning mint also support PPAs (personal package repositories). If you wish to get some updated package.

I run Linux Mint for years and years, I think you will be happy with it.

That is why you have KVMs…
