• From Mint to NixOS: Why a Long-Time Linux User Made the Switch

  Early on, I quickly found my home with Linux Mint and its Cinnamon desktop. As the saying goes, "You don't choose a Linux desktop; the desktop chooses you." Built on top of a stable foundation with a rich package infrastructure, Cinnamon provided a familiar experience that bridged the gap from Windows. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• The Switch to Linux and the Beginning of My Self-Hosting Journey

  Linux Mint or Ubuntu cinnamon Desktop is less specialized, and has a GUI very similar to legacy Windows. https://ubuntucinnamon.org/ (recommended for new players) https://linuxmint.com/ (recommended for students) Ubuntu Desktop 24 LTS: Kernel 6.0.8 will work on older GPU/Laptop hardware, but OS will be deprecated in 2029 Ubuntu Desktop 26 LTS will be out in a few months: Will be supported till 2038, but note... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Microsoft gave FBI set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops

  That's literally like asking "What car has the best driving experience?". There is no one answer. If you want something that "just works," Linux Mint[1] is a great starting point. That gets you into Linux without any headache. Then, later when bored, you can branch out into the thousands[2] of Linux distributions that fill every possible niche [1] https://linuxmint.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Show HN: Ant – A JavaScript Runtime and Ecosystem

  On linux its kvm, on darwin its hypervisor.framework, the memory is not upfront, by default 256mb is lazy allocated, and ~35mb are used by both ant + the vm. The kernel is https://nanos.org with patches to get ant+networking running smoothly. - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago

• NanoVMs

  (I'm w/NanoVMs). Firecracker is a complementary technology and not competitive. Our main software - https://nanos.org is a linux kernel guest replacement whereas firecracker is a VMM (host) replacement for something like qemu. So the vast majority of our users deploy to AWS, GCP, etc. And those deploys are created as ec2 instances (but without linux). Some of our users/customers use firecracker for ephemeral... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

  Then maybe a unikernel such as Nanos would work better for you. https://nanos.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Asterinas: OS kernel written in Rust and providing Linux-compatible ABI

  This is a very large rationale for what we are building with https://nanos.org . - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• OS for Secure Containers?

  Going to toot my own horn here but if you're looking for something like a container with a security focus that is precisely what https://nanos.org was built for. No users, no login/ssh, no ability to run other programs other than the one that is already running. It kills off entire CWE's such as CWE-77/CWE-78 and neutralizes a large amount of nasty payloads forcing attackers to put in the work. It has all the same... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
