@DustinB3403 said in Oracle Linux Installation and performance seems insanely bad:

@Obsolesce CentOS as a product is dead, the alternatives are RHEL or CentOS Stream.

CentOS Stream is a totally different thing. Not what people consider alternatives. It is an alternative in the same way that Ubuntu or Windows is.

The real alternatives that are drop in replacements that work exactly the same and cost the same are Oracle Linux, AlamLinux and Rocky Linux.

This is how drive testing is such a deep topic. You need to try and match the load, and consider all the things. CrystalDisk does not do that.

You can set up some really good tests with iometer. (I think that's waht it's called, i can't remember now it's been a long time and can't look it up atm)

@scottalanmiller said in LibreOffice - Runs so slowly:

In giant shops (thousands of users and up), the problem with MS Office is that you don't pay for it just for the users who would benefit from it, but you pay for it for everyone.

That is so totally false. I have not seen that anywhere, including where I currently work which is many thousands users.

So your claim is what... that they 1) don't actually pay for the software or 2) they use it only for a few people who would actually benefit from it or 3) the kind of work that they do is both appropriate to an office suite and so insanely heavy that they actually get to the point where MS Office is noticeably more efficient, yet still an appropriate tool to use?

If any of those, how does that work?

If 1... okay piracy.
If 2... how do they interoperate with others, or is it all office suites for only individual use?
If 3.... what the heck kinds of tasks are they doing that are so different than any other company?

@scottalanmiller I wasn't referring to sleep mode. Windows use to have varying degrees of shutdown, I'm pretty sure it still does.

@jaredbusch said in KVM under fedora workstation - improve performance:

I have zero issues using virt manager viewr for my local guest VM

for remote, I would use RDP or ScreenConnect.

Nothing wrong with it when needed, but it doesn't need to perform well for its role.

That is surprisingly disappointing. Server 2016 is supposedly the best thing ever. . .

Of course it is, if you get paid to support it!
