A couple weeks back, I spent a day setting up an Ubuntu 18.04 VM for MERN stack development + Postgres + Docker. I've automated the whole provisioning process via Vagrant, so it's super easy to get started. If you're interested, the repo's here! I'd love to hear your thoughts / if there's anything that could be added to improve it, I'd like to know!

Personal preference: Switch from Ubuntu to CentOS or anything else and you'll have a more reliable system that is worthy of deploying to production using the same tooling as well 😃

Also there's a lot you can do with the Vagrantfile still to set up e.g. shared folders, have the IP be predictable, etc. .. mine have typically been more like 5x as long as that to make them solid.

For some better more reliable provisioning, use something like Salt Stack or Ansible over Bash - they can do a lot of things better and e.g. scale to manage larger environments much more easily.

Good start though! 👍

Cool! Ansible is on the roadmap for me. I'd love to learn it, as well as learn a little more about the linux ecosystem. What should I be looking for in a distro, if you don't mind me asking? And is there any chance I could have a look at one of your vagrantfiles to get a sense of how you're doing it?

Well, most of the good ones are in closed repos, but this is more towards the direction I typically have used: github.com/lietu/pydashery/blob/ma...

This how-to tutorial demonstrates how you can locate programmer settings in Windows 10 and explains what you can do with them.

Many of the more powerful programs, tools, and utilities accessible Windows 10 are secured behind disabled preferences and a labyrinth of configuration menus. In previous Windows versions, electricity users needed to research where to locate and apply those settings changes. Also Windows update stopped working. In Windows 10, users may reach lots of the power tools through programmer settings. For the most part, the Windows 10 operating system from Microsoft works how most users expect it, and need it, to do the job. Web browsers open sites, productivity programs like Office 365 create files, emails are sent and received, messages are exchanged--everything works just like it's supposed to work. However, for many power users, that is simply not enough.
