I like it because I use it for MELT in general. Prometheus generally does metrics and if you want to include logs, traces and events, it becomes more cumbersome. With the Otel collector, I can just update my collector configuration to point to the various services.

I’m not saying OP can’t use what you suggested, just stating what I would use.

I would use OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana…

I like Micsrosofts office suite, but I hate virtually everything else. I got tired of their recent decisions and bought an Apple laptop, partly because I’m getting into iOS development and wanted that experience. But my other computer is dual booted with Fedora and Windows for when I absolutely need Windows, I’ll swap over, bit rarely do I outside of some gaming.

That’s the first one I thought of as well. And your third point, too… Haha

Cloudflare and Namecheap. I would use Cloudflare because of cost

Take deep breaths and remember to drink plenty of water.

Thank, you, a, lot.

I did something slightly different. I dual boot windows and linux. But each one is on a different hard drive. I have two SSDs that each one is dedicated to. Makes things easier.

I had a few programs for various things and one was simply an extension from the gnome extension manager. I updated it and my screen turned black and I couldn’t get it back. I had to revert to a previous version, then uninstall everything until I figurd out what caused it.

It took several hours.

It might be greed or to offset their server costs. Or both.
