Sometimes there are too many options

While I love that there are so many distro choices so everyone can find the right one for them it can also be annoying. I have OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with XFCE on my laptop because "it just works", Raspbian on the Raspberry Pi and Manjaro with KDE on desktop. I also have to ssh occasionally to other Linux (and BSD) boxes. For shells I have to use bash, zsh or tcsh depending on the system and so often I find myself wondering why something isn't working till I realize I'm using wrong syntax or command for the environment in question.

Sorry, rant over now.

SQL Server on Linux Usage

I'm doing research for an upcoming course and would be really interested to hear how people are using SQL Server on Linux out in the wild. What have been your best/worst experiences, especially in comparison to using it on Windows? Loves/hates vs other RDBMS on Linux. If you were designing a course, what would you want students to know? Thanks!

Potentially off topic - any software packages like YouTube but for offline/home use?

Hi,

I basically want to have my own video server (not plex) but web based.

I throw all my videos into /var/www/html/videos or whatever, and then when I visit the site, they're all laid out with thumbnails.

I have searched online but I keep just getting things like Vimeo, Netflix etc...

Thanks

Have you ever asked anyone unfamiliar with Linux what they thought of it or the users?

A response I got once was we were just hackers or computer-craving cave dwellers. I’d like to hear about your own personal accounts of this!

I'm planning to migrate to Linux and I'm seeking advice

I've been a Windows user my whole life, with my first OS being Windows 2000. I have very little experience with Linux; I've used Ubuntu for databases at school and did some MySQL programming with it, both within the terminal and an IDE. I'm a software developer in training and would wish to resume doing that on Linux, but I would like my main release platform to be Windows. So here are my questions:

1) What are some good distros for a newbie?
2) What are some things I should know about Linux before fully migrating?
3) What difficulties might I face as a developer?

Things that piss me off about the modern Windows OS's include:

\- lack of privacy
\- lack of customization
\- having Bing and Edge shoved in your face
\- the new settings app (it even opens up through the control panel, come on...)
\- lots and lots of bugs
\- annoying features that cannot be disabled
\- useless inbuilt apps that cannot be uninstalled

Things that I fear might become a problem once I migrate to Linux:

\- lack of customer support
\- lack of help online
\- incompatibility with Windows programs that I don't wish to part with
\- incompatibility with external devices (I had a Mac corrupt my USB flash drive and everything on it, I try to learn from my mistakes)

I have another laptop which has Windows on it, and two external hard drives used as local storage (one through the USB port, another is connected to the router to be used by multiple machines), I hope I won't have problems transferring files between those. Any advice is appreciated!

Nvidia driver gone missing!

I'm new to Linux. Started with Ubuntu 18.04.3 and got everything working for me. Installed the newest Nvidia driver from Nvidia.com. Played games with Steam and Lutris and was just impressed with Linux.

Then there was some update that came in and it removed my Nvidia driver and reverted me to x.org driver if I remember correctly. I use the Ubuntu software center where I selected another Nvidia driver to install instead of the x.org.

After reboot I was greeted with a black screen with no options to log into Ubuntu.

As a new user I have no idea what to do in such situation.... any advice?

Install a fresh Ubuntu or is there some Linux magic to get a driver up and running without a fresh install?

Just a request

Does anyone e know of a program that will notify me if a file sits in a directory for a specified amount of time. I looked at inotify and fsnotify but they only watch for addition, removal, and modification of the file. Must work on suse. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Linux on a flash drive or hard drive?

I want to install Ubuntu or android x86 on my 2011 PC. Should I install it on a flash drive or a hard drive? Would a flash drive be slower than a hard drive
