WIE BITTE??? Das können die mir doch nicht antun 😦
i'm trying to figure out which linux distros i would consider for a new server setup, and i have some requirements:
- release model (LTS specifically is not a concern)
- ZFS kernel module in the repos (building locally or not doesn't matter to me)
- no systemd
- as minimal as possible
and the choices i have seem to be... essentially just Alpine Linux?
Debian has systemd and feels kinda bloated, the same goes for all Red Hat distros, Gentoo is rolling release, i prefer to avoid Arch entirely. what's left, besides super niche distros and Alpine?
i think i'm "stuck" with Alpine, although that's not necessarily a bad thing, and usually i would use it without second thought, but the server i would be setting up would host all of my stuff and switching to a new distro later on is out of the question, so it should be future proof. alpine has dealt with a few major things in a way i didn't like, and the current discussion on a llm policy is worrying me a little, so i'm slightly reluctant to choose it now.
Hello! After almost 3 years in my current job I'm looking for a new job around Stuttgart (hybrid, or fully remote in Germany)!
I am Thomas, 27 years old and looking for a job in embedded Linux software engineering. Languages I use are mostly C and Rust, but I'm open to learn/use other languages.
I am interested in embedded Linux, Linux kernel driver development (C and Rust), low-level application development, and Linux BSP development (i.e. Yocto). I use and occasionally contribute to Alpine Linux in my free time and have experience maintaining a custom Debian-based distribution. I've been using Linux as my main operating system for around 10 years now.
You can contact me here or through any of the channels listed on my website: https://wiredspace.de/about/#contact
I will give out my CV after initial contact as I'm not comfortable posting it online.
Please boost this post if you can, I'd be very thankful for that.
Thank you!
treating my VMs and LXCs as pets isn't really doable anymore, but I also don't want to treat them as cattle because all tools that do that just suck. Ansible is a pain so I had a look at saltstack but that doesn't even support Alpine.
I have to admit using OCI containers has crossed my mind now, just because the rest is so unbearably bad. Then again, so are OCI containers, I can't stand them.
So is the only currently viable solution for me to move everything to a single VM inside of Proxmox...? my head hurts
