My Linux Workstation
It's been 11 years since I built my Linux workstation. When it was first built, it ran ESXi for a number of years. Now, how does it do with a current Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop loaded with VirtualBox VMs, Docker, Kubernetes, etc? Is this old system usable? You bet it is!!! Whether I'm running Linux for work or play, my choice distro for the last several years has been Ubuntu.
