Whats your thought on Oracle Linux ?

Besides the fact that we are talking about Oracle, the idea itself is neat the ability to switch seamlessly and get support for people that need that cause they got smart linux people + no need to reformat and reinstall like RHEL ?

It’s just silly IMHO. If you want support, you need RHEL. If you want to save money, use CentOS. Oracle Linux is a silly middle ground. It’s just a random company selling CentOS under a “cool name”.

To promote it their FAQ is all wrong. Which suggests that they don’t even have a casual knowledge of Linux. I see literally zero, possibly even negative, value to their product.

And it’s based around CentOS and RHEL which I would only deploy when absolutely necessary. Fedora for critical workloads instead.

When using the VNC console only the keyboard works and mouse works, but clicking does not.

Is that normal?

Update: Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer 11 all don't work.

I have that problem on Vultr's VNC console sometimes.

Just use an app?

There's Remote Desktop Viewer on Linux that does VNC well.

Hopefully, they keep expanding the VM Management capabilities in Cockpit. If they get a fully functional WebUI for KVM into Cockpit, that would be awesome.

I has for a while now, but you need to install the full version and the storage add-on. Don't think it was included with the basic install included with a new system.
