Hi, i ordered 3 x Lenovo M710Q mini i5 7th generation 16GB RAM 256 GB SSD for my homelab. I also have a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB which is not in use currently. Does it make sense to setup the Raspi as k8s controlplane and use the 3 Lenovos as workers or is the Raspi underpowered for that? Or is it better to setup only the 3 Lenovos for k8s (1x controlplane & 2x workers)? Thanks for your insights Chris

If you had to pick one Linux distro and why? (I like to see what everyone is up too)😅

Hello, I am Jemal From Ethiopia I’m joining as a new learner with a focus on CKAD, and I look forward to contributing by helping other newcomers as I grow. Happy New Year to this amazing community!! I’ve officially started the Kubernetes Fundamentals course. I’ve heard great things about @Mischa van den Burg’s practical approach, and after seeing other members successfully migrating their apps to K8s, I couldn't wait to dive in. I’m one day in and ready to master the core fundamentals. Happy to be here with you all !!🙏

Is it worth starting a k8 cluster using Ubuntu or Arch linux?

Ive had a lot of people ask about the tool I use for booting OS files. I use a software called Ventoy. It allows you to have multiple OS ISOs on a single drive (the only limit is space) and will load a boot menu that allows you to select the ISO you want to boot from. I have it installed on an external drive for portability. I can take it to any machine, or use for VMs to install the OS of my choice I want to experiment with. Highly recommend Ventoy for those of you that work with multiple ISOs. Here is the Link to the Ventoy Git: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy
