From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Jesus, people analyzing Debian releases like if it was the stock market 😂
Debian users analyzing graphs in order to estimate when they can upgrade from really old software to slightly less old software 🤣
Actually I'm waiting on Debian 13 to get Incus 6.0 LTS! Current machines with LXD 5.0 are starting to annoy me.
It's on backports :D
(I'm actually running it from the Zabbly repos.)
I know, but I can't enable backports. Same goes for the risks with using the Zabbly and their dependencies.
Ah, sucks :(
I'm looking forward to see where Incus OS goes, or TrueNAS Scale. Honestly, I was very tempted to automate a procedure to take a Proxmox ZFS install and replace the Proxmox bits with Incus bits :) Incus + ZFS as an appliance would be nice. I kinda don't want to think about the underlying OS.
That will be the end of Proxmox. And I really hope it happens fast.
I dunno, I still have a soft spot for Proxmox. I want ZFS, so it's about the only game in town with support.
(TrueNAS Scale looks good, but it would increase too much my Hetzner costs, because of their requirement of having a dedicated root pool. And I don't want an LTS distro that supports root-on-ZFS "oficially". That narrows the field quite a bit.)
(For work and for my workstations, I'm very pleased with Incus on top of Debian... but that's because I don't need ZFS on those.)
