What are your reasons for using Linux instead of Windows or Mac?

I was just wondering why everyone here chooses to use Linux instead of Windows or Mac OS X.
Why are you using the Linux distribution that you're using?
What are pro/cons of Linux vs other OS'

Virt-Lightning: a Cloud-like CLI for libvirt to quickly start your local virtual machines

Hey! I would like to introduce a new tool I've been working on during the last months.

My day to day activities involves a lot of VM create/destroy. I use a cloud most of the time, but I got frustrated by the inherent latency of the whole thing. Especially because my laptop was perfectly able to run similar workload faster. I like libvirt and I know how to use cloud-init. I was looking for a CLI tool that allows me to reproduce my workflow, but with a local libvirt, this instead of my cloud!

And here comes Virt-Lightning. It uses a collection of local Cloud image (qcow2), prepares a cloud-init config-drive, and starts the VM in libvirt. It's fast, it's simple and it's compatible with tools like virsh or virt-manager.

It can also fetch existing images from the Internet, open SSH or terminal connection to the running VMs. The command is called \`vl\`, an alias for \`virt-lightning\`. Oh, and it can also generate an Ansible inventory of the running VM automagically, it handy when you need to run some post-configuration playbook.

If you're curious, the website shows up some examples: [https://virt-lightning.org/](https://virt-lightning.org)

How to profile x11perf for different desktop environment?

When I run `x11perf -trap100` for different desktop environment(e.g., `kde` vs `mate`), their scores is very closely. I hope to profile which part of the slower de is the problem.

tools like `valgrind` is not a good choice imo, because both of them will report XFillPolygon cost most.

Why Do You Have A Server?

I don't know shit about servers.

I keep seeing people on here mentioning their servers. I just want to know what the hell you are doing? I'm very curious. Is it a hobby? Are you flexing? What is the purpose?
