Table of Contents

Windows

11

  • :!: 2024/12/23: No-go because of Defender real-time scanning/tamper protection not being able to be disabled reliably (LTSC 24H2)
  • :!: Windows future-use no-go if Defender enforcement is continued 1)

10

  • Good until 2032 (Defender can be disabled reliably)

7

  • :?: May be useful for testing FlightGear, Intel GPU, and OpenGL performance (post)

Linux

Fedora

  • :!: F30~: RPM Fusion, mesa-va-drivers-freeworld (AMDGPU), and Fedora update conflicts would result in broken graphics stack/black screen after Fedora updates if Mesa updated
  • :!: F38-39: GNOME/GDM would fail inconsistently (post) 2)
  • F41: GSK_RENDERER was an odd widespread-breaking change
  • :?: Prioritizing Flatpaks and Atomic/Immutable
  • :!: Leaders of deprecating Xorg; leaving it broken F41 implying lack-of testing/QA or “planned-obsolesce” (post)

Ubuntu

  • Works fine

Debian

  • :?: Only (listed) distro to install successfully to a 512 MB VPS

openSUSE TW

  • :?: Switching from AppArmor to SELinux
  • YaST conflicts with traditional Linux configuration style, and is SUSE-specific
  • Xfce OTB looks dated and implies lack-of UX/QA care

BSD

FreeBSD

  • :!: 14.2-R drm-kmod was a mess and required trawling forums and guess-work (post)
  • :!: Files between ZFS and NTFS on years-old files caused I/O errors during rsync/cp (thread)
  • :!: Wifi set-up is complex, and slow (2.5MB/s, no AC)
  • :!: Android adb doesn't work (post)
  • :?: rc service scripts look complex to hand-craft compared to systemd
1)
I/O on NVMe slows down too-much; spikes CPU hard too
2)
still happens as of 2024/11/09, post
