European Commision’s laptops run on Windows 11 and then they need to pay for AWS to do any kind of meanigful work… And then some devs still pick Windows to run on AWS anyway!

Portability, isolation, the ability to run pretty much anything inside. They do consume more resources, but if they’re that much slower then there’s probably something wrong in your setup.

I’ve tried it a few times, never stuck. I guess it’s just convenience, it is a well integrated piece of software, especially if you use both LXC and VMs. Personally I keep using virt-manager and Cockpit.

I’m not sure if any app syncs progress with eReaders, but I haven’t looked into it. Maybe KOreader can? Other than that Audiobookshelf works well with ebooks. I haven’t tested it with graphic novels, but it does handle regular ebooks (PDF and EPUB) just fine.
