I’ve fiddled around with a few models on ollama and opencode but more for the sake of seeing what I can run as ive yet to really find a use for it in my home usage.

Oh I was suggesting a the free standalone hyper v server MS did but I just searched for it and it looks like they killed it off recently which sucks. Was probably the best MS os going.

Verily. Especially after working with heavily windows/MS environments for a decade and change. Intune makes my blood boil.

Always. Started on windows hypervisors and windows as they were relevant to my work and I was trying to skill up at the time. Since moved to a Linux stack as the lab grew in scope and my distaste for MS grew as well.

Hyper-v server can get pretty damn lightwieght as it ships without a GUI

Yeah I donate to the KDE and Debian projects as I use them a bunch and I’d like these projects to keep going so supporting them financially makes sense to me. Not a massive amount only a tenner a month in each case so I doubt I’m having a huge amount of impact in their finances but at this point they’ve both got more out of me than any proprietary project ever did.
