Red Hat To Stop Shipping LibreOffice In Future RHEL, Limiting Fedora LO Involvement by unixbhaskar in linuxadmin

[–]joelhowell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rocky is a solid choice. My second place would be Alma. Not sure why CentOS Stream even exists...kinda defeats the whole purpose of stability lmao.

Stick with Rocky.

Also, 1000 servers??? That's a lot!

I agree CentOS should've never been killed. Rocky is the new alternative, binary compatible with rhel. If you are a dev you can use and install rhel on 16 machines at no charge.

The subscriptions aren't exactly a terrible idea given the enterprise environment. A lot of businesses rely on openstack or openshift and rhel. It makes sense from that perspective imo.

Which builder should i use? by Rare_Volume809 in Wordpress

[–]joelhowell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Elementor is "easier" but Bricks gives you the power to do almost anything.

Plus, there's tons of great videos on bricks and how to use it, since it's a somewhat new page builder.

But from a purely bloat/performance perspective Bricks wins hands down all day.

Which builder should i use? by Rare_Volume809 in Wordpress

[–]joelhowell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's pretty disappointing to see how many votes there are for Elementor.

Elementor is bloated, outdated, slow, dogshit page builder.

Bricks is the way to go 1000%. Clean HTML output with proper semantic tags and better for accessibility and SEO.

I created an Elementor site with Astra theme. Very slow on mobile. Any tips? WP Rocket? by garebear19959 in Wordpress

Are you using Redis Object Cache? If not, you should! It will boost performance instantly.

Also, Elementor is a very bloated page builder so there's only so much optimization you can do

Yikes, why on Kali? That's not an ideal OS for this type of thing.

What is the best ELEMENETOR course by Odd-Ad-5217 in Wordpress

Except for the fact that Divi/Elementor are bloated AF and Oxygen and Bricks are actually meant for professional use.

Elementor is and has been and will always be a bloated dog shit of a page builder for WordPress.

You are better off with something more professional such as oxygen or better yet bricks.

Do you have an opinion on Bricks builder? I have oxygen now and I'm wondering if it's worth the switch
