From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I utilize podman on my server for running my software.

Recently, I saw that my server ran out of space on its 8TB raid 10 array. Which immediately raised questions for me.

After using "duc" to analyze my drive. I found that podman had used 4 TB of storage space in "/var/tmp".

Anyone else have this happen to them?

Not too bad.

I kind of dislike the installer though (after you complete each step you have to go back to the main page to do the next one, it’s more a nitpick on the UI flow).

Getting everything working is easy though, basically just click which disk to install and add a user profile. Click install and then click restart when done.

Overall it feels modern and normal.

If you have secure boot you might have to go do something in the bios, but there are usually guides, and windows would be the same.
