I have a confession to make. I’m working for a Linux company, but one of my work laptops is an Apple Silicon Mac. And I have a very solid reason for that: If you need to run Arm-based Linux like SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro (SLE Micro) for development or customer demos, Macs are the best choice. […]

In my last post I promised to write more about what I’m calling the Groups & States Pattern. We discovered it more or less by accident when we prepared for the SUSE keynote at SaltConf, as we tried to come up with a simple, yet powerful, demo of what you can do with plain Salt […]

One of my last posts was from Salt Lake City, where Don Vosburg and I delivered one of the keynotes at SaltStack‘s SaltConf and launched SUSE Manager 3. For those of you who didn’t have the opportunity to see the keynote or just want to watch it one more time, we’ve now compiled a 25 minute […]
