Business decisions are almost always influenced by the personal preferences of people in charge. While OP probably can't change the existing infrastructure right now, when the infrastructure is eventually changed, OP's pro-Linux input could make a big difference.

Always put your filesystems in an LVM volume (and in general, partition disks with LVM rather than partition tables)! You never know when you might need to combine multiple disks, make a snapshot, add redundancy, or transfer to another disk without unmounting. But it's very difficult to format a block device as LVM once you can't erase its contents.

Make your /boot partition at least 500MiB.

Leave at least 1GiB of free space at the beginning of every disk. You never know when you might need to add EFI and boot partitions to that disk. And again, it's very difficult to do after the fact.

Why write code when you can turn the transistors on and off yourself? I have a few thousand buttons connected to the CPU, and some homies and I open or close them on each clock cycle to feed it different instructions and inputs.

You know how some companies make vibrating dildos? Twitter should do that.

Request access to each video and wait for a letter with the title and thumbnail printed on the outside.

Kernel upgrades are very... Painful.

They're turning the frickin RAM gay!

For July 4, yeah. But doing it at midnight on New Years is important to a lot of people.

I (and probably others) are surprised that it's so brazen. I think most companies wouldn't dare do this. Not because they're morally superior, but because it's such a bad look.

That's not really Lemmy's purpose. I disliked when Reddit added it, and it would be an unnecessary addition here as well.

I've become a lot more sympathetic to RH after learning about Oracle Linux. I still disagree with it, but another mega-corp selling support for a RHEL clone is egregious.
