Linode user for the last 10+ years here, I'm migrating some sites to DO after checking it out recently(again), the UI is better and it seems DO innovates faster these days, and the stability might have improved too(need more time to verify this).
Linode has been solid for me, only one bad hardware crash in the last 10+ years, but DO has more functions, good UI, larger disk,etc. I am trying it again.
Linode packages have more cpu available and their drive speed is actually pretty good for being non SSD as well. As I'm sure people will point out, neither one of them has a perfect reputation lately, but I've used both for various purposes, just nothing mission critical on DO, just basic quick stuff that doesn't need security or much cpu
As a fellow Linode user, I find this to be a pretty silly comment. This will save some customers a little bit of money and provide some storage breathing room. It's an important latest step to firm up their offerings, and I commend them for consistently doing so over time.
If you think Linode is a good value for the money, continue using them. If you don't, go somewhere else. I don't think anyone here cares whether you're impressed.
Not that I can think of. Linode is pretty great if you can deal with the lack of disk space
