The way this comment is written doesn’t sound anything like the OP or the GitHub issue. Different tone, different dialect/spelling… lot of linguistic red flags. Not that I’m judging either way, it’s just suspicious how vastly different they are.

Are the release notes AI generated? It reads like it.

In years past, I’ve used Elasticsearch and Kibana. The learning curve is steep and the system resource requirements warrant a dedicated machine, but once you get it dialed, it’s really effective as a centralized logging server.

Prometheus and Grafana are for time-series data (metrics), not logs. If you’re already getting that from netdata, don’t bother with these, as they’d be redundant with what you have.

syslog is about as idiomatic as it gets for log management in linux, but i don’t have enough experience using it effectively to give any pointers there. If you don’t really know what you want, yet, and just want to collect logs from all the things and see them in one place so you can begin to try and make sense of them and make refinements from there, then syslog seems like an excellent place to start.

I’ve installed Debian Linux on over 50 devices by now. A vanilla configuration with GNOME works pretty much out of the box for me on a high-end desktop with a modern NVIDIA graphics card.

I’d say the biggest part of the learning curve is figuring out which apps are good and suitable for what you’re trying to do. Just like with Windows and macOS and Android and iOS, there’s only a handful of viable options among an overwhelming sea of poor ones.

There are many wrong ways to install NVIDIA on any given Linux distro and architecture, and only one functional way. As others here are saying, that’s on NVIDIA, not you or Linux.

General advice: whenever possible, strongly prefer your distro’s standard package manager to install things over any other method. With Ubuntu, I believe that’s either apt or snap.

Also: if you find yourself poking around in some obscure system internals while troubleshooting an issue, you probably took a wrong turn somewhere.

As someone who was recently fired for, among other things, being a stick in the mud about AI, I have some thoughts.

Try not to take work too seriously.

I drew a picture of Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force saying, “It don’t matter. None of this matters.” and put that by my monitor in my office. Whenever I started to feel activated about some bullshit, I just glanced over at Carl. It calmed me down to be reminded that my real job is to simply not lose the job.

It’s a very bad time to be unemployed and anti-AI right now. Just tread lightly, ride out the storm, and let the inevitable reckoning eventually come to pass.

If you’re using Gmail, and you’re considering alternatives for privacy reasons, then 100% without a doubt, objectively and unequivocably, Proton is the better choice of the two.

There are other email providers with privacy assurances, and yes, you can self-host, but don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good.

To address the trustworthiness of Proton directly: I’ve been a Proton user for about 10 years. It gets the job done. I have complaints, but privacy is not among them.
