Respect. What Kernel are you running? I almost went Linux on my laptop but there was some problem with printer drivers or something so I gave up. Maybe one day. Desktop would be my preference, starting to grow weary of "smart" phones... Avoid driver issues and such by running Linux as a virtual machine or a container. If you have no idea what I just said, then perhaps not. 😉 When I still went to work I ran in on a VMware machine under my desk. I have it on 2 Netbooks now and never had a driver issue. One's running Red Hat and the other one is Mint. I actually haven't fired one up in years, but I rarely use a computer. |

For some reason postimages won’t connect to my iPad. Even after dumping the cache. So pix here are always posted thru the iPhone where it is fast and easy on postimages. Bummer. I’m using Imgur. Imgur just quit working for me on all machines. I never figured out why. |

The last Apple product I used was an Apple IIP Plus back in 1980. Strictly PC and Windows here. Android phone. I still have my Apple 180c notebook. |

If you have no idea what I just said, then perhaps not. 😉 Bare metal only, always. The only containers I'd run would be LXC, on a linux kernel. Or BSD jails. 
And I'm actually running on quite an old AMD64 linux kernel on this box. 4.9.0.-4
Linux version 4.9.0-4-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 6.3.0) to be precise. Long past time to update this machine and it will likely get updated to the latest OpenBSD rather than linux. This machine is from 2014 and it's only ever ran Debian, but in 2014-2016 it ran a lot of customized i686 PAE 32-bit Debian spins.

I've found that everything runs better on VMware than on bare metal. I had Windows servers that ran over 3 years without being rebooted on VMware.
