I would guess the FreeBSD is the remote server as it’s usually used as a server os and the archlinux installation has a zen processor that I don’t think would be that useful inside a server
if by “zen processor” you mean zen kernel then yes you’re correct: iirc (linux) zen kernel is tuned for desktop usage, and also both machines are on ryzen cpu so I don’t think that matters here.
the desktop in this image is arch linux, and the remote freebsd machine is actually sitting right behind me, it’s also what powers my instance that I’m posting from.
What operating system is that?
I zoomed in on their terminal and it says both arch and free BSD? How is it both?
Edit: I see SSH in the tab title of the terminal, so I’m guessing one of those is a remote server? Which one tho?

Cool, I didn’t know about the zen kernel and thought it was just telling it was a ryzen cpu.
I also want to get my own instance but CGNAT is blocking me until I can get a VPS running.
the desktop in this image is just Arch Linux
and another machine running FreeBSD:
sshto show system info and logoThank you for the detailed info. I’ve never used anything but Windows and Mac but have recently started looking into Linux.
I’ve got my hands on a spare machine to play around on, so I’m going to start learning this weekend.
Co-worker is using Pop_OS, so that is what I’m going to try, with the idea that I can bug him with questions.
