Just to show off my custom addon to my desktop. Something Windows can't do at all but Linux can do. I can monitor in real time my server which is up near Michigan. Completely remote server compared ot me in Idaho. I can display the amount of RAM used, swap space, CPU loads.

 

This program is called Conky. You can write your own scripts to display any information you want to the desktop. You can even tweak it so a side panel is never covered like my older script did. No matter what you did with a window it wouldn't cover the display. This go around I left it a normal desktop that does cover. Nice part I can see anyone that logs into the server display even the hosting techs show up so I always know who is on the server including myself which is displayed and IP does match my machine locally. (blurred out)

 

As you can see I'm always watching over the server and paying attention to performance metrics and making sure you all have nice fast connection the best I can for my end. 

 

As you can see my local machine is the far left and the shorter display on the right is M73M.

This was one of the selling points of Linux for me. Everything can be administrated from a distance on Linux vs Windows that is pure Graphical interface and very costly bandwidth wise to work remotely for any windows product.

 

Another fact, there is more Linux web servers in the world than Microsoft web servers, then Apple doesn't even have web server platform that I know of.

 

Since Android is a version of Linux I can administrate most functions of the website on my cellphone. I'm not talking with a browser like Chrome but actually SSH (Secure SHell) which allows me to to give commands directly to the server over a secure encrypted port.

 

Looking at the Database server for the website which I pulled up on my Samsung S21 Android on a terminal app while laying in bed drinking my morning coffee.
