I was worried that my toy problem wasn’t complex enough to reveal these issues!

I had an experience recently trying to deploy an agent on a dozen different Linux distros.

I had the lightbulb moment that the only way to run IT in an org using exactly one distro. Ideally one version, two at the most during transitions. Linux is a kernel, not an operating system. There are many Linux operating systems that are only superficially “the same”.

At least here, we can agree. If I ran a business and allowed employees to run Linux (which is reasonable, IMO), the last thing I want is someone's riced-out Gentoo with an unpatched security exploit onto the VPN.
