What movie is this?

I am sure your right. Please tell me where I am wrong. I could always do to learn more about systems engineering.

There is something I never understood about people who talk about scaling. Surely the best way to scale something is simply to have multiple instances with so many users on each one. You can then load balance between them. Why people feel the need to make a single instance scale to the moon I have no idea.

It’s like how you don’t need to worry about MS Word scaling because everyone has a copy on their own machine. You could very much do the same thing for cloud services.

IP over ham radio is a thing, so yes. Wouldn’t be very fast mind you.

Yes. Though it depends on what you want. If you are willing to learn some stuff, and don’t mind doing some maintenance, then CachyOS is hard to beat. It’s fast, up to date, has packages for basically everything, and the documentation from both them and from arch linux the parent distribution is great. Otherwise Linux Mint, PopOS, Aurora, and OpenSUSE are all good options. I wouldn’t recommend using Ubuntu directly anymore because of the enshitification canonical have engaged in. Debian is always good, but might not be what you are looking for in terms of ease of use or being up to date.

They also had pretty strict CPU requirements. Mostly only 8th gen and newer, or a ryzen, would be required.
