I would not claim on best distro for all the types of tasks, but in certain areas, when you well, just need stable Linux compatible environment related to sysadmin and development tasks - indeed it rocks, agree.

As happy WSL user myself, I can see why it grows and drives Ubuntu adoption too.
It mentions unlimited web search - I wonder how that works, implies not by some Google Search API?
fio --rw=write --ioengine=sync --fdatasync=1 --directory=test-data --size=220m --bs=2300 --name=mytest
more often then not, fsync/fdatasync is overlooked by programmers
I did several attempts with naive prompting, but spent more time babysitting than actual flow
Mind giving a hint on another company name?
Like the idea!
Try to search vacancies for FreeBSD or candidates with FreeBSD knowledge/background, you will be surprised, its desert.
Even TrueNAS realized it's a dead end for reaching wide audience needs and migrated to Linux (as you mentioned zfs, your probably heard a thing or two on TrueNAS).
I have not tried in the last 10 years, so don't have numbers, my ballpark figure about having small infra team say of 5 persons and try to hire for FreeBSD would be longer and more expensive.
I see somewhat tolerable Linux Corp fleet of laptops (still meh, but somewhat works), what you will reply to your users when they complain on WiFi or Zoom not working and how will procurement work for you interesting questions for me.
Red Book for FreeBSD animal, can meet somewhere deep in tundra, but not a widespread species- extinction form my POV.
often it's ssh'able with things like rbash and other restrictions and almost always you, well, can run something there (as you can edit php/other files right from web management ui).
Hordes of this (in Linux world).
Far Manager or Dos Navigator are much better IMO.
Does this mean other state actors are beyond needs of RCE vulns as their tools belt and North Korea and Russia lagging behind? Some other interpretation from security-involved practitioners here - like, I don't know - we already have Pegasus, phew on OpenCode RCE?
Opencode is totally different beast comparing to Aider and I mostly stopped using Aider for 2 months or so - it just iterate simpler and faster with OpenCode for me.
I was thinking to try Claude Code later and may reconsider doing so.
This sounds strange to me, of not requiring fsync. I may be wrong, but if it was meant that Enterprise SSDs have buffers and power-failure safety modes which works fine without explicit fsync, I think it's too optimistic view here.
I'm more in Opencode world now and its in general more efficient for me (I'm sorta sysadmin by day, not a programmer, so agentic mode with Opencode saves a lot of time cuz you can just tell - write adhoc Python script and check which objects/methods present at that library- savings me from a boring part of you know programming/diving deep in unknown languages).
On Aider part, I especially liked ability to nitpick the function name, which is great for more focused changes/investigations.

that's far from any sort of cheap, may be there is something very special with them?
without tmux/screen though, it's much harder, even less reliable, to work over ssh, so it becomes natural need for such sort of tools.
Say I use screen and later tmux since I believe ~ 2010 but not using "advanced" features like "panes" and screen splitting every month, most of the time for me it's just switching between windows in session and different sessions (not that often) and that's all.
As a helper, for some projects, I do use predefined layouts (say first 4 windows opens with inventory dir, other 2 with root folder of ansible repo) so on, but need this also not very often, like when laptop reboots (which is every ~ 3 week on Win11 nowdays)
I see in config file, actions { "id": "User.find", "keys": "ctrl+shift+f" },
so probably I did
I would argue that more time was spent on thinking "how we do hotplug CPU on our machine" than on "how that user will work with USB drives".
I may have a hint here - remember, that Nginx was created in the times of dialup was a thing yet and having single Pentium 3 server was a norm (I believe I've seen myself that wwwXXX machines in the Rambler DCs over that time).
So my a bit educated guess here, that saving every syscal was sorta ultimate goal and it was more efficient in terms of at least latency by that times. You may take a look how Nginx parses http methods (GET/POST) to save operations.
Myself I don't remember seeing large benefits of using open_file_cache, but I likely never did a proper perf test here. Say ensure use of sendfile/buffers/TLS termination made much more influence for me on modern (10-15 years old) HW.

It's usually enough to have couple of times when you need to get into distant DC / wait for some IPMI connected for couple of hours, to learn "let it fail fast and gimme ssh back" on practice vs theory on "you should have swap on"
I.e. - I have tried WSLg (running GUI apps in WSL) but disabled it all together, as after running xclock and couple of things like that to ensure it works, I couldn't find any interest in running GUI apps on Linux.
I can somewhat imagine need for work purposes, if you are falling into some webdev area and need to run some tests against local browser, but that's different from my POV.
