Hey Arch folks, real devs use Ubuntu!

Lol oh boy

(Congrats on 15k)

Ubuntu is nice for servers. I like it, especially Livepatch is nice.

I wanna say...

Real cloud server runs Ubuntu 🙄
Because it’s cheaper...

@maushax rolling release isn't a good idea for production because the testing effort explodes.

@maushax I’m pretty sure the “free” tier options are very limited...

Just checked, aws has free tier windows server now. Yeah! ✌️

Remember children, free is not for Enterprise operations, unless you want to fail. Free is either extremely basic, or very restrictive. When your server panics and you need it back up online in less than thirty minutes, free won't get you there.

And you're using Windows?

It is true though, or Debian.
No buidling every single shit from source.

yaourt wappalyzer ?

And jQuery. Don't forget that.

Google Analytics. Oh oh. My rants are being tracked by Five Eyes. Hope they've assigned me to a top agent.

A real developer uses either what the project demands, what they think is best for the task or what they like the most all depending on circumstances.

@ScriptCoded Yeah, Win7, and a light theme. I'm so dev that I can afford even that. :-)

@nonsleep1 Wappalyzer is available in the Chrome store.

@platypus What's more 1337 than just jQuery? An outdated jQuery version of course.

@ScriptCoded
Come on, don't be judgmental lol.

On the servers I consistently choose Ubuntu too. CentOS is way too outdated, RHEL is.. well, paid and I don't need their support. And anything else like rolling Arch.. 6 servers that went tits up due to shitstaind breaking systemd-networkd because of their excellent integration research on things like AppArmor sits fresh in my mind. I'm *never* going to run bleeding edge on a server again. So Ubuntu, for all its issues (I could rant all day about poor dependency solving), it is the right choice for me.

@iAmNaN indeed, only having a proper sysadmin on site will. That's the cost of free software, or should I say having anything server-like in the infrastructure. Especially when you have to maintain more servers, a proper sysadmin becomes more important. And in all honesty, that applies whether or not you run open source software on it. If you want your server running again in 30 minutes, you have someone on site. Free or paid doesn't matter in that case.

Fedora 13

Aw shit here we go again

@Condor funny thing. We've been having challenges with our AWS setup, so we now have a sys admin from Amazon on site. Knows his stuff.

@iAmNaN told ya 😜

Ubuntu sucks for servers since 18.04 by forcing all kinds of shit onto your infra that no serious sysadmin wants (snaps, livepatch, hiding ISOs without cloudinit, etc...)

The OS that does things right is Debian.
