Linux

One big difference that I've noticed between Windows and Linux is that Windows does a much better job ensuring that the system stays responsive even under heavy load....

There are always stories of people installing Linux on their parents computer to provide them a more secure and stable operating system, seems interesting to share experiences....

I've seen a lot of different enterprise and personal use distros for servers, but what do you guys use?...

To get an idea of this community, and to try the cool CryptPad Survey feature, I created a pretty big Linux usage survey!...

This might be good. Hope you enjoy what I made....

From another comment I made...

I'm preparing for a new PC build, and I decided to try a new atomic OS after having been with NixOS for about a year....
