We "still" had 12°C wich was plenty with a jacket and my Fluffy jogging trousers.
Enjoy your day too!

Woke up before my alarm clock, enjoyed a Cup of tee in the garden and listened to the birds.
Thanks for pointing out, corrected it right away.
Tbh all modern mainstream distros are lightweight I give you that. But there are always exceptions. Something like PopOS (I know not a server distro) can hog a lot of resources, so those are not suited.
Yes that's correct. But I see 18 months maintaine windows for a complete distro upgrade is fairly often. Ubuntu Interim is in my opinion not really suited for server applications due to the small support windows.
Rocky Linux9 security EOL is in 8 years for the other end. In that context fedora is a lot more "short lived".
You will need a pretty light distro since you only have 2GB of Ram. Normally I would recommend containerized workloads, but 2GB RAM are just a bit too small.
Your distro choice should also be made based on the frequency of maintainance and package availability.
In the server space you have some contenders.
Release based distros: Ubuntu is your beginner friendly go to recommended distro. Very well documented and with automatic security updates. In my opinion its okay but a tad bloated. Ubuntu has yearly release cycles but the LTS versions have longer support so you don't have to upgrade your whole distro. Ubuntu uses apt package management.
Debian would be the next normal choice. Also apt based with almost yearly releases. No bloat, but also no auto features. You are more on your own. Similar to Ubuntu.
Fedora server is also a more beginner friendly got it all distro with better modularity and very recent packaging. Fedora uses dnf. Be aware that fedora has tight release cycles on which you have to upgrade every time. Fedora has virtually only a small grace period between releases.
Centos/AlmaLinux/RockyLinux are all RedHat Linux clones without the enterprise support but with the same packages. Rock solid distro used in the enterprise server industry. Very well documented and known. Due to enterprise world also a bit outdated. But I found packages that are newer here than in the Debian repos. Those distros also use dnf/yum.
OpenSuse Leap is also a Good distro. I can't say much to it because I didn't use it so much. Opensuse is well known and has a good knowledge base. There is also opensuse Tumbleweed wich is a rolling release distribution.
Rolling releases: Rolling releases are distros wich don't have real release cycles but are more or less "rolling" no big upgrades needed but more of a once a mont maintenance type distro.
There is centos, archlinux, nixos, opensuse Leap and probably a lot more. Nixos is pretty special and I don't really recommend it so much for beginners.
Last category auto updating, immutable micro distros wich are mostly used for container hosts. This distros are made for only hosting containers. You have to take care of the right storage setup and be aware of all the special quirks it comes with. Best ones are Fedora CoreOS, Flarcar Linux and Opensuse MicroOS. Those are "low maintaince" but only if you really know what you are doing. Steep learning curve and non standard procedures.
Hope this helps a bit.
Feel free to correct me :)
Interesting for data driven servers where you routinely have to check data. I can image Mailstorages etc. Could benefit from this.
As normal shell I would still prefer zsh or fish due to its popularity.
I think it's more Problematic to live almost 50km away from your workspace. I don't expect any form of transportation to cheaply transport me 100km every day tbh.
But also to be fair. The train should always be cheaper than a car. Also at above 2€ per L with a reasonable consumption of 6-8L you are around 16€+ just for fuel. Aren't trains with discount Tarifs around 8-12€ per trip?

When I understood the article mentioned above correctly that's basically the exact same thing.
Auto bonds increased in kind, as lenders packaged those loans together and sold them as securities on Wall Street, where ratings agencies labeled them as largely safe investments.
Even the economy nowadays is nostalgic about the 2000s.
Stabilität und richtige Dokumentation von Drittanbietern wär cool.
NixOS hat das ganz geil gelöst mit den incremental stages wo man einfach auf eine vorherige Stage zurück gehen kann. Sowas muss man eigentlich als krasses neues Feature verkaufen.
Man bräuchte auch festere Vorgänge. Ich weiß der Vorteil von Linux ist ja gerade das offene und vielseitige aber der Endbenutzer ist schlicht überfordert sowas wie BORG einzurichten. Da wärs tausend Mal einfacher zu sagen das man standardmäßig ne Festplatte dafür hinstellt. Macht TimeMachine ja genauso für einen.
Die Designsprache sehe ich gar nicht so. Ich finde zb. Alleine das Manajro UI tausend Mal schicker als Windows. An MacOS von der usabilty und vom Design ist mir noch nichts untergekommen ohne große Anpassung.
