  • The only way to interact with it is using talosctl (no ssh, very minimal console, etc.) It is pretty slim and designed only to use k8s. Ubuntu on the other hand is general purpose that can be made to use k8s.

    Basically the idea being that your nodes are also cattle.

    It’s very interesting. I’m debating moving from fedora coreos to it. About to spin up a test cluster whenever I have free time.











  • I think it depends who you ask.

    As a linux admin, I don’t mind it and actually really appreciate it. It’s a robust system like you said and though a bit persnickety on resolving things, does its job well.

    As a home user, I find that mostly you shouldn’t know it ever exists anyhow. The one time you might would be podman volume issues (when you forget or don’t know to append a z/Z) or when you’re doing something odd. I can see how some would dislike it in that case.

    But in any case I fully recommend running it and just learning how to use it. Kind of like IPv6. It’s misunderstood, too often disabled, and should be more widespread. They both are really improvements to what came before. Just technology that takes a little more time to learn is all.

    Here is a helpful video explaining it- https://youtu.be/_WOKRaM-HI4
