Dont. They are notoriously bad at such things. Lack of Hardware acceleration mainly. These old Chips and problems with single-board-complications are just not worth it at such high prices.
An Intel N100 MiniPC will have much more compute with less complications.

Just saw it too :D

Why would you ever need such a feature? Closed.

How much time do you have? Because even small models will take alot of time on that kind of hardware to spit out a long text…
And the small models arent that great. I think the current best and economic model would be a mistral, mixtral or dolphin.
If you got the power, nous-capybara is very good and “only” 34B parameters (loading alone needs like 40GB of memory).

When i was with a customer who was using one of ther VPS offers, performance was unexpectedly low and upon contacting support it was clear the small fish dont get great support answers, but rather pushed to the FAQ.

And i personally find their offerings and marketing scummy. Big promotional prices, but always some small print with a higher price after x Months.
Or just stuff thats not included by default.
I never had that with other (also very cheap) providers.

As long as it works great for you, i wouldnt see a reason to leave.
There arent that many providers offering such small ressources at all or at such a price. To be fair, not much one can do with those specs… 10GB storage is very limited already.
But for those specs… always free oracle tier would work too (though requires a credit card).

Ionos… not a good provider.
Great it works for you, but i wouldnt touch them with a long pole.
Created by an old internet provider (which is also not very good…), pulling every shady marketing trick weird “cloud” providers have…

Contabo is very cheap too, but i wouldnt trust them with critical stuff.
Netcup is next, quite good and still cheap.
Hetzner is very nice, but the cloud offers are expensive. the dedicated server offers though… holy sweetness, specially the auction servers.
Dont forget smaller providers either, they can have some good stuff, but cannot really compete with the big players. (i have one for clean ip space for mail)

Over the years hosting i learned that paying slightly more is often worth it depending on the needs.
And as my requirements went up, i moved up in the tiers. If you have a need for the dedicated servers, gets cheaper for what you get (though you need to manage the hardware side then too…)

Oh and dont forget the Oracle free offers. I dont really trust Oracle, but free compute is free… maybe dont store sensitive stuff though

I dont see how e.g. arch would be super hard to maintain.
There is a nice GUI program for installing programs and updates. (like many modern distros)
If you dont want to set everything up, go with Endeavour or Garuda.

I find rolling release to be easier to maintain and keep up to date than non-rolling.
Specially if you want up to date packages for desktop use.

Windows has a request assistance function? wtf… where is that found?
I only know Remote desktop tools and most of these work perfectly fine on linux as the client or even under Wine.

[Edit: woah, i did some rambling below here… not related to your specific case here, but some nice information maybe]

Linux as host is where it gets funny… bigger ones support X11, pretty much none support Wayland.
To be fair, its impossible to control mouse and keyboard under Wayland without root.
I think we now have some new desktop packages for gnome and kde which can do that, so now they need to be implemented.

But i dont see an effort being made for Wayland by the bigger providers in the near future… the market just isnt there and there is lots of uncertainty with the featureset.

Switched to Rustdesk a while back, works nicely as client, but only picture output with wayland as host.l as of now.
And i cannot copy&paste under wayland as client… even though it worked before…

Hetzner is wild at how cheap you get hardware and included traffic.
German providers in general, everywhere is very expensive compared to these prices.

The question then is, how much can you actually do in the shell.
Good luck setting up many programs that way when they soley rely on the GUI and documentation about configs or their database structure is nonexistant.

WebCord is a beast! Maybe runs better for you.
Basically Discord desktop client experience, but privacy (well… as much as you can have with discord) from the browser-version. (minus discord desktop client exclusive features of course)

To be fair, windows development also included UI changes beneficial for users, so its not necessarily bad to copy those.
Of course there are many which are… questionable, we of course shouldnt copy those :D

Async is good because threads are expensive, might aswell do something else when you need to wait for something anyways.
But only having async and no other thread when you need some computation is obviously awful… (or when starting anothe rthread is not easily manageable)

Thats why i like go, you just tell it you want to run something in parallel and he will manage the rest… computational work, shift current work to new thread… just waiting for IO, async.

The Lenovo Business Laptops always were super strong for me.
A bit on the heavy side (at least on the older models), but build like a tank and has an awesome keyboard.
But any halfway decent Laptop will run Linux fine.

If the script gets too large or you think it will, write a full program.
With languages like python or go its not that hard either and you get alot of benifits aswell.

Other than that, use whatever languwge works and you know.

No issues here… probably another Nvidia thing?
Also check if AdaptiveSync is on or off

The License is clearly not Free by imposing restrictions to e.g. commercial vs non-commertial usage or distribution. It also restricts usage of name and logo aswell as terminating the license when legal action is taken against the provider.

While i can understand the reasoning, the license still stands against FOSS.
I believe you could have clearly separated them as provider and the software like its done in most cases. By wanting to protect their software, they had to restrict the License, so its no longer Free to use in any form you’d want.
