https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/155392-international-space-station-switches-from-windows-to-linux-for-improved-reliability A quick article that details why the ISS switched from Windows to Linux.  “We migrated key functions from Windows to Linux because we needed an operating system that was stable and reliable.” This also was a move to prevent the system from contracting a virus.

Best Linux distro for developers in 2020:

The article I came across listed the top Linux distributions for developers in 2020.  The list was topped off with infamous distributions such as; Arch Linux, Debian, and even Raspbian.  Among other popular choices for developers listed were; Gentoo, Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, and CentOS.  I found it pretty intriguing to go through the list and see pros and cons of each distribution and why developers might choose one of these as their platform.

Wireguard gives linux a faster, more secure vpn. Wideguard is smaller and simpler than most other vpn software, it will be able to encyrpt and decrypt data as its received or sent by the network card instead of passing data back and forth between kernel and software since it was build directly into linux kernel.

The raspberry PI4 with 2GB ram had its priced reduced for about $10. Its was the eighth year for the raspberry foundation and they decided to cut some prices. Making these boards more affordable! Due to how powerful these things are getting and how much less they cost, do you think they will replace desktops in the future?

"WireGuard Gives Linux a Faster, More Secure VPN"

WireGuard is an open source VPN soon to bee added to Linux Kernel. Building WireGuard directly into the Linux kernel, the core part of an operating system that talks directly with hardware, should make it faster. It only has 4,000 lines of code, which compared to the other VPN componies with tens of thousands lines of code. That doesn't make WireGuard more secure, but it makes it easier to find and fix problems.

5 non-technical tips for the Linux Beginner
- Ask questions, but ask the right way. Do your research, try things, read in on everything and make sure you are detailed
-Make mistakes, plenty of mistakes. Virtual machines have snapshots and if you ever goof anything up you can always return to your last saved one. don't be afraid to fail.
-Know your tools, let them do the work. Familiarize yourself with all the tools, look up  "gnu core utilities"
-You can learn from anybody. "The Smartest of Men are both Teacher and pupil "
-Patience grasshopper, start from the beginning. even when your frustrated start troubleshooting from the basics again.
