Bare metal Ubuntu

Every single one. Lol.


Ok but how are you gonna open it? You also need a corki.


I’m with you. I actually like discord.


The ones in quotes seem to not have version numbers.


You sure you mean bare metal here? Bare metal means no OS.
So I did some digging, and it’s less clear than I thought.
I come from the embedded development world, where bare metal has been in use for a long time. Pre-2000s, this is exclusively what the term meant. Sometime around the mid 2000s, the virtualization services starting coopting the term.
So I guess it does indeed mean both, but being a stickler for tradition it doesn’t sit right with me. The term just makes more sense when you’re applying it to the hardware; bare. No middleman, and that includes an OS.
