We swear though, Linux is totally ready for the desktop. Just have to extract your wifi driver from the Windows binary, setup third party repos, make sure client side decorations are disabled, ensure SELinix isn't messing with your torrents, and then configure your Aptitude to install security updates. Easy!

evol262 posted:Thinkpad yoga. Dell XPS I just bought an XPS yesterday and installed Fedora 23 on it. Everything except the wireless (broadcom) worked right out of the box. Touchscreen, suspend, sound, webcam, it just worked. Now, in order to get the wireless to work, I did have to plug in a known working usb wireless adapter, setup a third party repo (rpmfusion), install the broadcom proprietary driver, turn off secureboot, and then wireless works. Other than that, I'm very happy so far. I believe there are versions of the XPS that come with Intel wireless chips which would be much easier to get working.

Docjowles posted:Is there a preferred local DNS caching daemon for CentOS 6? In the past I've used nscd for this and it's been fine. We're not doing any host-level caching currently at my new(ish) employer, and we've been having some problems with DNS performance, so I went to enable it. But my boss stopped me saying that sssd has replaced it and nscd is deprecated. Is that true specifically for DNS caching? I haven't worked with sssd before but everything I can find about it is in the context of caching authentication, not name resolution. It's literally not even mentioned in the list of sssd features. Am I just being a dumbass and it's such a basic feature it wasn't even worth mentioning? I think unbound is replacing bind for a lot of use cases. It's super simple to configure and pretty lightweight. Also, can't you restart dead services?

Significantly more the mdadm. It's basically brain dead easy to setup on Ubuntu on Arch (Antergos' installer even has ZFS built right in so you can create pools, volumes, etc right from the get go).

Buy something with as many Intel components as possible. HiDPI support still isn't perfect on any hardware, but it's decent. All the major big players make Linux compatible laptops. You can even buy a Dell XPS13 with Linux pre-installed.

They both work really well out of the box and require minimal fussing around. I use Fedora 25 on an XPS 13 HiDPI and it works pretty flawlessly. HiDPI support still isn't 100% on Linux, so beware of odd scaling issues if you're looking at that version.

I'm not sure how many times evol262 needs to mention multi-stage builds, but that sounds like the answer to all your problems. No need for fileserver containers, volume mounts, or whatever else people come up with to fix this issue. Build your artifacts in a huge intermediate container, then copy them to your final, smaller container for production.code:

The filter option filters only the first level subkey below ansible_facts. When you run the playbook version, all of the facts are gathered and then your debug task filters the dictionary.
