Dan McDonaldPhew. Glad to be wrong.
Good, unless of course when the keyword should be all lower case, e.g. #illumos (vs. #SmartOS).
@matthew @stratacast @subnetspider
#OpenIndiana is desktop focussed.
#OmniOS is single-server-or-VM-guest focussed.
#SmartOS is hypervisor-focussed.
All are #illumos distributions. I know SmartOS has paid-support options (though usually we support #Triton Data Center deployments).
Also #illumos distros include dedicated appliance/device user like @oxidecomputer 's Helios or RackTop's BrickStore.
That help?
Triton Data Center 
The latest open source "release" branch build of Triton DataCenter release is up.
SmartOS The latest bi-weekly branch of SmartOS is up.

Best one yet, managed to get USB dev as a ppt dev.
#SmartOS and i did not agree with ppt_aliases or ppt_matches.
#OmniOs and pcieadm utility made it understandable on my level
prtconf -dD is ALOT 😂
But after i have seen output of pcieadm it makes more sense.
So tomorrow i will try my favorite #tribblix to see if we can get passthrough going
Intel Arc PCI Passthru using bhyve on illumos
A while ago I bought a second hand NVIDIA Quadro P1000 on eBay, it being a Low-Profile card, means it fits well in my 2U servers in my home lab. This card has been used in my Plex Media Server VM for a while, although it is working well, it is a few generations old and does not support newer codecs like h265 and AV1. Intel recently launched the Intel Arc A3101 which does support all the newer codecs, additionally one can avoid the horrible mess that is NVIDIA drivers on Linux! The i915 driver in kernel supports Arc, assuming one is running a recent enough version.

Andrija Petrovic@draken @SmudgeTheInsultCat just a couple of hours ago I ordered a new drive to start moving my 5-years old Win10 machine to #Lubuntu.
It's funny 'cause this 5-years old Win10 machine used to be a #SmartOS machine for 3 years before Win10 - and it's still working great.
I remember why I installed Win10 back then, so no regrets, but I've had my fun and it's time now to go with something serious yet again.

Stefano MarinelliPeople working on Linux or the BSDs (or illumos based OSes, etc), are you using two monitors? And, if so, what do you use them for?
I'm trying to understand if it makes sense to keep two monitors on my desk

Jonathan GerlachSometimes I search for how to do things I already understand pretty well and I learn new things.

This article explains how to set up a Minecraft Java server with service management.
Things I learned:
- ZFS delegation and snapshots from inside the zone (knew about it, but hadn't done it)
- RBAC permissions for multiple operators who are partial admins
Minecraft on SmartOS
Minecraft. It's one of those games that can appeal to many different people in many different ways. I got into playing under the assumption that modded Minecraft was the norm, and that calculating the optimum designs for automated power production and gargantuan resource-gathering apparatuses was the entire point of the
