Only if the server has no GUI installed. I worked a place where the Network Admin, had a bunch of older RedHat servers with GUI's. I had to become the "bad guy" because on the newer boxes I was in charge of I refused to install a GUI, a bunch of devs pissed and moaned because they couldn't use xterm to connect to the new servers. It was pretty backwards place.
- freedomben 6y agoAt the risk of igniting an irrelevant flame war, this is one of the primary reasons why I use Vim and only Vim as my IDE. I don't have to care about lack of graphical environments ;-)
- jdhawk 6y agoside note, long time - and still current vim developer who also uses JetBrains IDE products... I'd pay similar money to have a similarly robust VIM plugin from a supported vendor with great support and sane keybindings OOTB. man, its easy to get spoiled with tons of ram and a great IDE.
- freedomben 6y agoYes, I don't know if anybody will ever see this, but I agree! I would gladly pay similar for a robust VIM plugin setup that gave me similar features on a range of languages.
- tinco 6y agoWe run some machine learning systems on Ubuntu server, and it's really easy to accidentily install the full desktop environment while installing random graphics driver related packages. While figuring out how to set things up (before I formalized in an ansible script) one of the servers ended up with the desktop packages installed. Weird to look at the IPMI overview and between all the white on black kernel log outputs suddenly seeing a full Ubuntu desktop boot screen.
