    It was the second panel for me 20 years ago too, when I only slightly disliked MS & used Windows.

    it really is so true.

    you install linux on one machine, and then suddenly every other machine you own has linux on it, ssh, and you use shit like rsync to manage shit over the network. Before you know it you’re running a snapcast server to manage multiroom audio automatically configured into your smart home network. (i haven’t gotten this far yet, but it’s eventually going to happen lol)

    The pipeline is real.

    That has some rather disturbing implications for Linux.

    So accurate, I have 5 towers right now set up for re-purposing as servers, with a half dozen more coming in a few days saved from e-waste. That doesn’t count my homelab rack server, networking gear, main gaming tower, and 4 laptops…

        Ikr. I’ve got two 12 year old towers that have Debian on them. One is a Docker box and the other is just a raw Debian server.

        I installed KDE on both because I like my servers looking a little sexy lol. They run smoother and more stable than any of the Windows machines I support.

        They’ll probably be fine for another 10 years, maybe even longer.

    Each of those server chassis in the 3m high stack is probably some combination of power intensive, loud and hot. Assuming around 200w median, that one stack would continuously draw 34A. Loading the individual servers could be 2-4x that amount.

    That’s going to be a toasty room.

    I’ve saved every laptop, PC, portable device I’ve ever owned … and when they got too old and outdated with no more updates from Windows, I converted them all to Linux machines, most were just fun projects to see what I could or couldn’t do or to test all kinds of things I was trying to learn … now I have a closet stacked with devices

    Also more like Linux + Networking.

    You can’t make all those devices work together in tandem if you don’t know the networking.

      I mean, I’m not into networking but I have a lot of computers. I usually clean them up and give them to other people and repair them.
