So its like Ntop for Kubernetes? Is it better than Ntop?

Fair point. I have worn many hats through my IT career, I started out as a Windows NT admin back when it was cutting edge technology in the 90s. I fell in love with a text editor called Ultraedit that my org had a site license for. When I left that org after many years I missed Ultraedit and was delighted to find Notepad++ had most of features I loved. Now the course of my career has found me become a Linux admin and personal linux user for many years now. I have been using Notedpad-qq for years, but recently it seems to have gotten worse and I have had instances where crashes resulted in lost data. I liked the idea of having the same general UI and features as Notepad++ because I still need to use Windows at work. But I am reluctantly admitting maybe it is a time for a change.

Apologies for the digression, but I wanted to share some of the waypoints in my journey that influenced my personal choice.

I have gotten a lot of great feedback to this post, but if I had to give points for the most spot-on answer, you would get it. Thanks!

Pretty much everyone at work is using VSCode, maybe this is a good opportunity to dive in, thanks.

I see it is Platinum on WineHQ, will give that a try thanks.

I have been using kate a bit and it has been a decent experience so far.

Just salt works too.

Run a live version of kubuntu from a usb drive to confirm wifi/lan drivers work and you can access the internet.

Not sure why you got downvoted, it is a fair question. Real time multiuser editing is a powerful feature. That said it is really only needed a small fraction of the time for specific types of collaboration. Also, it can cause problems as well. Libreoffice Calc meets most of my home spreadsheet needs: calculating mortgage rates and future value of investments and such.

You can tunnel over SSL with stunnel. TCP latency can be brutal though.

Typically the GPL covers the source code. Compiled, packaged and branded binaries are sometimes licensed separately. This is how Red Hat works for example.

I feel like OP missed an opportunity to title this post “Fedora Flatpaks Fall Flat”

Great article, BTW

Looks like this happened:

OpenSSH server has had built-in support for WebAuthn keys since 8.2.

According to Framework support, there are no supported models as of yet.

I have a Framework 13 AMD running Linux Mint. It works great and I love it. Modular IO ports are super nifty.

Here are the downsides as I see them:

1. Price
2. No touch screen
3. No wifi 7

I expect 2&3 will come in the future and I can upgrade! The fact that I can upgrade rather than throw it away in the future offsets 1.

What type of key do you have. Yubikey 5 supports multiple protocols including some you can use with SSH:

• Multi-protocol: YubiKey 5 Series is the most versatile security key supporting multiple authentication protocols including FIDO2/WebAuthn (hardware bound passkey), FIDO U2F, Yubico OTP, OATH-TOTP, OATH-HOTP, Smart card (PIV) and OpenPGP.

SSH would need to implement webauthn to support FIDO.

Secure can also mean more resilient. The infosec C-I-A triangle has three legs. Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability. Immutable distros are more resilient and thus offer better availability in the face of attacks or accidents.

I like S3 because I only pay for what I use and it has auto storage tiering.

So what’s the deal with the crows?

Awk is a turing complete programming language.
