Didn't see any club, thought I would start one. If I'm wrong just point the way

Linux Club
What your favorite Distro, Program, bench test or game
Just wanted to learn more, never really seam to have time.
Do you run a server? RAID?

las · Feb 26, 2019

Debian here

silentbogo · Feb 26, 2019

Various flavors of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on 2 of my PCs and 2 of my servers. If not for some work-related stuff, I'd switch my primary PC to Ubuntu as well. Also some of my electronic tools are only supported on Windows, so I'm tied to MS at least for another few years.

Also, just a couple of days ago I've got a free beat-up ARM-based Samsung Chromebook for evil experiments. It was under Enterprise Enrollment, which in most cases means it's only good as a paperweight , but thanks to some dark magic it is now a multi-boot netbook with both ChromeOS and Arch. With 6+ hours of battery life it's perfect for outdoor adventures, and it's shitty enough that I won't get upset if I break or lose it.

Had someone ask me about this just the other day, I had no idea how

Really what I would like to do is switch my FreeNAS with a HBA LSI card over to Linux

IceScreamer · Feb 26, 2019

Jumping between Mint MATE, and Manjaro, tho sadly nothing long term. Also use Lubuntu from time to time, on older PCs.

On xe303c12 it requires some soldering and an external SPI flash programmer (compiling and flashing non-verified U-boot from google distro, setting up boot environment etc). Google locked the dev. mode in enrolled laptops many years ago, so the old hack no longer works.

Which card model?

R-T-B · Feb 26, 2019

I compile my own... so Gentoo.

I used to faff about with suse linux about 15 years ago.

Nuckles56 · Feb 26, 2019

Ubuntu 18.04 on my HTPC, VLC and firefox are the favorites

lsi 9211-8i I think I can flash it back to hardware RAID. When I got it it was flashed to an HBA

It's hard to find info on Broadcom's website, but even if you won't be able to flash it to IT mode, you can always run ZFS and call it a day. I don't think there's gonna be a noticeable performance penalty in small-scale scenario.

PerfectWave · Feb 26, 2019

add me but sadly using ubuntu only for browsing and email on virtual machine

So I can run ZFS under linux?

Yep, there's a kernel module now.

blobster21 · Feb 26, 2019

An ubuntu 17.04 as a multi-purpose server (ftp, vmware, seed box), an Ubuntu-Mate 18.04 as a Nextcloud server, Raspbian Jessy 8 as a Pi-Hole / access point

Boatvan · Feb 26, 2019

Any fellow CentOS 7'ers out there? I run this on my FOG server at work and on my crunchers at home

johnspack · Feb 27, 2019

Of course I'm in here! Linux master race. I use all versions of Debian on different devices. Mainly Kubuntu 18.10. My daily driver on my desktop and my laptop. Of course let's not forget android on our phones, that's a variant of bsd, which is just another type of linux. Don't tell bsd users that though.....

Jetster · Mar 3, 2019

So does each Distro (Mint, Ubuntu, ect) have there own repository's? Are do they share? And if I want to install CPU g then I have to connect to another repository?

notb · Mar 3, 2019

I've built my workflow around Virtualbox-hosted Linux VMs: one Manjaro, one Debian and at least 10 CentOS that are launched when needed...
I tried to switch to full RH environment (replacing Manjaro and Debian with Fedora / openSUSE), but experience under Virtualbox is rubbish. :/

Sadly, nothing on bare metal at the moment.
It feels like hardware support of Linux is regressing lately, while software isn't improving as much as we hoped. I'm not impressed by efficiency either (i.e. battery life of laptops). Windows is pulling ahead.

That said, I need to move to Linux on my current desktop (for CUDA). I'd love to use Fedora, but it'll most likely be Ubuntu (least Tensorflow issues).
This also means I'm going back to a windows laptop as my main PC... About time. ;-)

I bet more than are actually aware of it. CentOS is by far the most common base for VM-distributed software (e.g. learning/community editions of databases and analytics suites).

Aquinus · Mar 3, 2019

I'm pretty happy with bleeding edge mesa and kernel on Ubuntu 18.04.

Solaris17 · Mar 3, 2019

Favorite Desktop flavor is Suse,

Currently run FreeBSD and Ubuntu servers for various things.

Website
ubiquti controller
DNS server
Surveillance system
Minecraft
Screenconnect
Grafana

All no GUI though. Havent touched gnome, cinnamon, etc in a long long time.

Kubuntu with backports and latest kernel.
