HowTo Geek ☛ What's Your Favorite Linux Distribution?
Okay, this one I know has the potential to start some wars, but it has to be asked: which Linux distribution is your favorite? Obviously there's no one distro that suits everyone's needs, so it's hard to say any specific one is objectively the best. Personally I like how Garuda looks and works the best, though at the moment I am relying Kubuntu for daily work.

Muxup ☛ Arch Linux on remote server setup runbook
As I develop, I tend to offload a lot of the computationally heavy build or test tasks to a remote build machine. It's convenient for this to match the distribution I use on my local machine, and I so far haven't felt it would be advantageous to add another more server-oriented distro to the mix to act as a host to an Arch Linux container. This post acts as a quick reference / runbook for me on the occasions I want to spin up a new machine with this setup. To be very explicit, this is shared as something that might happen to be helpful if you have similar requirements, or to give some ideas if you have different ones. I definitely don't advocate that you blindly copy it.
Although this is something that could be fully automated, I find structuring this kind of thing as a series of commands to copy and paste and check/adjust manually hits the sweetspot for my usage. As always, the Arch Linux wiki and its install guide is a fantastic reference that you should go and check if you're unsure about anything listed here.
