  • I think you choose a poor example.

    When I say long name I wasn’t implying meaningless ones.

    Most business with a lot of machines uses long names where everything as a logical meaning.

    [Site][service][Rack][User selected 8 chars name]

    I mean you dont have to use such obtuse names. But if you have a lot of servers you have to have a long name or you will risk exhausting the available names.

    I’m just saying long names dont have to be obtuse or confusing. You can use user selected names as a suffix to a more functional initial prefix. So that people who work this area of the infrastructure can have clear names but at the same time some other sys admin that never worked on it can still know where and who is responsible of the server.

    My initial point is just that the namespace and length of hostnames mostly depends on what you want to do. For a homelab you dont need wide namespace. But for a large business using short names wouldn’t be practical either.

    I did the switch to full time linux gaming a few weeks ago.

    Initially I was on PoP OS but I wasn’t happy with it. I reinstalled everything on Cachyos and it has been very good so far.

    Here are the main “hurdles” that I think I should not have encountered in my “liberation” :

    • I activated FDE in cachyos but the LUKS decryption prompt was never on my keyboard layout so I could never decrypt with the original key. I should not have to handle keyboard layout issues when decrypting FDE. This would be fatal to any beginner.
    • I still think the tinkering with proton is too involved. Some command line arguments should be activated automatically depending on your setup. Players should be able to anonymously opt-in to sharing settings for all the game they start.
    • Mouse sensitivity is wonky on many linux distros for gaming. Mouse acceleration should not be a default if you target gamers. I dont care if original Arch has this default. 99% of FPS players avoid it.

    That being said, leaving Windows makes me incredibly happy and I’m very thankful for the great opportunity the open source community has given me through great free software.
