Went with Bazzite for my main gaming rig almost a year ago. Really good all-round distro imo. Haven’t had an issue yet. NixOS for my other machines because it’s cool and I can have them fit for many purposes by just switching a single config file.
I’m guessing we were small enough for it to never be an issue. Only around 100 people. Started on Exchange 2003 so things were pretty routine.
I remember way back when I was solo-sysadmin for a company and the new IT-manager wanted to move everything to O365 and “the cloud”. He claimed it was because of increased stability. My issue with this was that O365 had 13 or something days of downtime that year, while our locally hosted stuff had something like 4-6 hours due to a power failure, at night.
Managed to keep it local until I left. They outsourced the IT-department after that.
I’m tired of helping companies move back and forward between Google Workspace and O365 while pretending I still work in IT.
Meraki is just e-waste without it’s (really expensive) license. I’ve seen cheaper licences floating around on sketchy websites but wouldn’t recommend it.
What a horribly shitty place to live.
I think it’s neat. It has tons guides and plugins to do pretty much anything. Other solutions can be lacking in documentation. One big plus is the way you can just throw in whatever drives you’ve got laying around and not have to worry about them matching or anything. Is it the best performing? Probably not but it doesn’t need to be. For me it just hosts files and a bunch of fairly lightweight services.
