Which M.2 SSD for Linux?
(lemmy.world)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thanks. Nice to know. So I'll not get a WD, then.
To each their own.
I thought that the trick with exposing the raw hardware to a VM was the coolest thing ever, since it negates this entire "do their special tools support Linux" issue. And you do it once every 6 months, maybe 4 times in total, until releases taper off.
But I don't want to deal with Windows at all. Something like this may be acceptable for existing "pre Linux" hardware to have a solution after migration.
But I need new hardware in an environment where no Windows is left.
I'll never buy Western Digital. I've given them too many chances and owned many over the last 20 years and they consistently fail. Even the more expensive ones I've owned had something stop working in them.
I'm aware I'm jinxing myself when I suggest that I've had very different experience. We're mostly WDReds though.
