Nice. I got 2 thin hp pro/elitedesks. One to run my MC servers and one for other homelab stuff though that one keeps fucking crashing/turning off and I cannot fucking figure out why. It only ever runs fine after installing the OS if you ever rebolt it it will just not stay on for more than a couple days.

If you're not doing a lot of writes, log2ram might be good enough and isn't that hard to set up

Used mssql-server at work where we usually use windows and its a bit shit if you want low memory hosting. Though when I have run MySQL I haven't tested low resource systems to compare that either tbh.

It's awesome. It's like opensuse aeon but more popular. I haven't touched my os in years.

Technically you're right. Apache can run on pretty much anything. Though when I say Apache, my mind shifts to LAMP immediately. Sorry about that. However LAMP can run on this too but the performance wouldn't be good I assume.

Honest question: apart from Tuxedo hardware support, what would be the reason to use Tuxedo OS specifically? There are plenty of beginner frientdly distributions out there. I liked Tuxedo quite well, but it's basically a pretty Kubuntu with specific hardware support.

In my case, I had swap space on the SD card, and suspect that's what killed it. After replacing the card and disabling swap, I haven't had any problems for the last couple years

Because people who use it apparently aren't interested in talking about it more?

is it anything special compared to normal debian?

I'm using tuxedos ethernet drivers on laptop because they are not mainlined and my laptop apparently uses the same hardware. Never was interested in the OS, I'm ok with Fedora.

I've never used any atomic and immutable distros so can't comment.

How is it better than fedora silverblue or kinoite?

Can't you run Apache on pretty old hardware? I thought it was something you could happily run on even some of the older versions of raspberry pi. Probably depends on what you are hosting on it of course.

The thing is, Kate has LSPs, debugger integration, inline hints, compiler integration and warnings, projects and more.

The ecosystem is just not huge and it doesnt have full 3rd party extension support like VSCodium etc

The C and C++ compilers use the same backends (and rust to, llvm), just try to build a module with clang for a kernel build with GCC, or it fails in compile phase or when you try to load the module. You can write a module in the lenguaje that you want if you use the same backend, but if we are talking about avoiding to use a kernel with rust, man is the default in the kernel, just read the config, rust is disabled

Yeah. They all use the same text editor library.

KWrite has a very small amount of features (which is still way more than Notepad though). It still has syntax highlighting and stuff. I would recommend it if you are editing stuff like grub/sshd configuration files or reading log files.
Kate has a "Sessions" thingy, unless you are on Debian 12 or older. So when you want to open a directory as a project and save some metadata of your session, this is a good idea. Also, proper LSPs and stuff.

KDevelop is fully meant for programming, using build systems and such. It does require a fair bit of configuration on the first time though. So if you have a CMakeLists.txt in your project, you can use this thing to make your work easier. It works with other build systems too, I just didn't try them out.

I still have to understand how Kwrite, Kate and Kdevelop relate to each other. It seems they're all built around the same base, with increasing feature-richness.

I have used CudaText in the past. Maybe I should give it another go, they have a Qt6 build.

Apache may be a little heavy for this because of the really low CPU power. However later Celerons should do better, this one doesn't even have hyperthreading. No idea about Factorio server though.

Well, for daily usage home server stuff, there is plenty of CPU power here. Though throttling the CPU with any tasks probably is not a good idea because of passive cooling. Usually what I do don't get pass half of the CPU power, at least it was like that on the netbook. I would expect a better performace from this.

By the way, not entirely sure but I think this one can handle a some kind of Minecraft server.

This one has only one SATA slot and only PCIe slot it has is for Wi-fi. So, probably not. Though maybe a couple ISOs with rtorrent wouldn't hurt.

Kinda want a low lower draw device to use as a server, ideally proxmox and just backup the whole VM image once its setup. But not sure how much I would really use. Very basic Apache/php, pihole, not sure if there is too much else.

Maybe factorio servers if I get into clusterIO stuff again.

My first stint as a sysadmin I did it all with nano.

8 years as the Linux SME for a Fortune 500, 8 years of being griefed for using nano.

I only started using vi when I moved into a world without nano.

Now I use vscode with vim keybinds.

I was probably just as efficient on nano and vi as I am now in vscode, the tools you have need to work for you.
