At least for memory usage the hypervisor wouldn't be able to tell the difference between memory merely used as cache vs. memory actually used by the software running on the machine (and OSes will usually just use any otherwise unused memory as cache, so you will likely see some inflated memory usage)
How do they actually get that information (particularly memory utilization)? Do they rely on their agent that's pre-installed (but can be uninstalled)? At least in their web interface it doesn't show any of that utilization for my instances (one is Ubuntu with their agent uninstalled and the other one is NetBSD).
I am actually using a OrangePiPC as:
- WLAN access point (hostapd)
- LTE Internet via a E3372 USB dongle
- radio via DVB-T dongle/Internet
- USB speakers for the radio
- Bluetooth dongle to connect to Bluetooth-enabled speaker in another room
- USB temperature sensor, motion sensors via GPIO
- VoIP telephone with connected USB headset
- small LCD display to show the current temperature and incoming call information
You don't really need to switch to a different distro. Just avoid snaps/flatpack/... and use a more lightweight desktop like XFCE and you should be fine.
"they put ads in the terminal" isn't really accurate.
Their "ubuntu-advantage-tools" adds information to one of their other products to the output of apt. You can easily get rid of that by uninstalling/replacing "ubuntu-advantage-tools". It's definitely not like they are selling ad space in your terminal to third parties.
