r/linode

after all the linode updates i started looking elsewhere, ended up testing hostinger vps and it’s been suprsisingly simple enough. anyone sticking with linode or moving too?

$1.8 billion dollar deal for inference.

With the recent Copy_Fail stuff I went to look at my linodes and noticed that the older ones were configured to boot with a Linode kernel, whereas the newer ones boot using the distributions kernel vs GRUB2.

Debian came out with a patched one many days before Linode did.

Which raises the question - should I be using the Linode supplied kernel, or a distribution kernel? What are the pros/cons/use-cases for each?
