ReactOS Is a Promising Open Source Windows Replacement – LinuxInsider

ReactOS0 CommentsReactOS
If you want to run a clone of Microsoft Windows to escape the drama of upgrading to Windows 10, try ReactOS — but do not expect it to be a fully functional replacement any time soon.

Just remember that ReactOS is a Windows clone and not a Linux distro with a Windows-like desktop shell. It does not run Linux apps. The release last month of version 0.4.1 brings this unique open source project one step closer to its goal of providing…

Running TrueNAS on Proxmox – Medium

TrueNAS0 CommentsTrueNAS
Firstly, a bit of backstory. As a household that needs some form of network-attached storage available at all times (my wife and I both work in IT and have some data-heavy hobbies), We used to rock a Synology box until the motherboard decided to default on us and thus we lost everything. This got me thinking and rethinking regarding NAS solutions for the better half of last year; I went from F’ Synology — I will go with QNAP to — holy moly, the NAS hardware is expensive as hell.

Gentoo Linux Ending Itanium IA-64 Support – Phoronix

Gentoo0 CommentsGentoo
Gentoo Linux was one of the last few Linux distributions continuing to maintain Itanium (IA-64) architecture builds but that is now being phased out for those discontinued Intel processors.

Plus they have very few users who have expressed themselves for actually relying on Gentoo IA-64 support. Following a mailing list discussion and vote by the Gentoo Council, the Gentoo Linux project…

How to Deploy the Nextcloud Cloud Server on AlmaLinux – The New Stack

AlmaLinux0 CommentsAlmaLinux
Cloud services are all over the place. For most people, the usual options (such as Google, iCloud, etc.) are fine. For others who demand more security and control, there are additional options, such as Nextcloud. Nextcloud is an open source platform that includes all the features you’ve grown accustomed to (such as files, editors, chat, version control and much more) and can be deployed to hardware on your network. Because of that, you don’t have to worry about third parties having access to your data. That’s a win for any security/privacy-minded individuals or companies. I want to show you how…
