Exactly. I don’t use Omarchy, but I think it is good someone did a polished distro for a specific use case, and some web dev Windows users will surely find it more appealing than a generic distro where they need to figure out a lot of stuff from scratch.
To me it is hard to find the best apps in their directory as they don’t have a good ranking system. The other sites that rank by GitHub stars do a pretty good job of surfacing what are the truly most popular and successful apps.

Sysadmin@lemmy.world•MariaDB 11.8's zero-configuration TLS requires no manual setup
41·4 months agoTLS is good *only’ if you are also validating those certs. And that is what MariaDB 11.8 is now doing.

Sysadmin@lemmy.world•What to do when a MySQL/MariaDB database gets too large for a single host?
4·8 months agoBy UV 3000 you probably don’t mean the ultraviolet lamp that is the first page of Google is full of when searching with this term…? I doubt UV - whatever it is - is a common approach.

Debian operating system@lemmy.ml•What do users of MariaDB in Debian want to see in future versions?
3·8 months agoWhat do you mean a default user? You can just run ‘mariadb’ to access to console with the same user that had permissions to run ‘apt install’.
For your actual application you need to plan what database name to use, what user, what permissions it needs, potentially remote connection and TLS etc. This indeed is some work and could perhaps be automated a bit, but it also needs sysadmin to make some decisions.
OttoOPtoMariaDB / MySQL@lemmy.ml•What do users of MariaDB in Debian/Ubuntu want to see in future versions?
2·8 months agoYes, increasing the InnoDB buffer pool to use all available memory is the most important configuration change a sysadmin can do. But in order to do it, you need to know if the host is dedicated to one MariaDB instance or if there are multiple servers on the same host. Otherwise you would just have processes each hogging more memory when they can and not giving it up to others.
I could think about having a dialog during the installation that asks something like “Is host dedicated to this MariaDB instance? If yes, automatically configure it to use most of the system RAM available.”

Ubuntu Linux@lemmy.ml•What do users of MariaDB in Ubuntu want to see in future versions?
1·8 months agoMariaDB supports Galera clustering out-of-the-box, and also traditional primary/replica setups. But you need to have something that spans multiple hosts to monitor and manage it, and that is outside of what a single-host OS package management system can do.

There was a bunch of luck involved that Andres Freund detected this. Give more time, it would have ended up in stable releases eventually if not detected.
