From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Anything that needs to be configured with YAML, and Kubernetes in particular.
I mean I get the whole Infrastructure as Code hype (although I have never witnessed or heard of a situation where an entire cluster needed to be revived from scratch), but it should be very possible to make a gui that writes the YAML for you.
I don't want to memorize every possible setting and what it does and if someone makes a typo in the config (or in the white space, as it's YAML) everything is borked.
Call me old-fashioned but the graphical ui of something like octopus deploy was a thousand times more user friendly imho.
A few IDEs already provide some help with YAML. Rider will tell you if you've screwed up the YAML for a GitHub Actions workflow, and possibly docker-compose as well
