If you're using Galera, I'd recommend you to read this - https://aphyr.com/posts/327-ca... . Depending on your application requirements, you may have unwanted behaviour from your cluster.

And then read this, after that, as it is a response from Percona about the first article . https://www.percona.com/blog/2015/09/17/clarification-call-maybe-mariadb-galera-cluster/

Not only because stuff like this, https://aphyr.com/posts/322-ca... , but also because MongoDB performance actually isn't that great. I do care about my data, and PostgreSQL is actually faster in some scenarios (eg. if you actually know what you're doing), so thanks, I'll pass. And Apache HTTPD? Who's still using that on new projects?

Curious, if not Apache httpd, then what?

Remember folks, MongoDB has failed the Jepsen Test multiple times.

I have never encountered WiFi cards that did not work

The Ubuntu forums are filled with people having trouble getting their WiFi working. That was one of the problems I ran into for installing Jaunty on my Mac. I found solutions but wifi doesn't work out of the box so to speak. There are other hardware problems such as with fan control, touchpad, the Apple keyboard, sound, and suspend

I am sorry but I do not understand you. Maybe I am a little dumb, but it' s actually true what I said. I pointed out facts... I think it's for the better not to lie and point at the problems...

You may of pointed out how things went for you but you did not point out the facts of others, Fact is is Ubuntu and other Linux distros have trouble with some hardware. Before installing any Linux distro on a computer it's wise to make sure there is compatibility with the hardware Linux will be installed on. Which is what I've been doing in order to prepare for when I install Ubuntu myself.

>But if I walk into BestBuy after work *today* and I grab any piece of hardware, off the shelf, it will come with a disk that provides drivers for Windows. How many will include drivers for Linux?

None because they are included with distro's, so what's the problem?

As linked to above Linux does not come with drivers that work with all hardware. That's why it's also recommended people try out a live disk before trying to install Linux. If a Live CD works then Linux can be installed with a minimum of fuss.

As we used to say in construction, measure once, measure again, and measure a third tyme before cutting. Measuring 3 tymes first then making a cut is better than measuring once, cutting, then having to measure and cut again.
