I think someone who has the self determination to go ahead with this expects to not survive. Doing it and unexpectedly surviving and having to live a likely painful rest of your life is different.

Tilda because you can roll it down from the top of your screen with one key press.

Ok the push notification pop up started to piss me off halfway down lol. But yeah, this is a cool demonstration.

Like the “Come to Brazil!” comments on every music video or concert on youtube.

The only barrier to entry is creating a usb installer. Once you’re past that, there’s nothing more than basic computer knowledge to do what you need to do. By basic, I mean knowing how to use a computer, so you should be good. Just choose a user friendly distro like Mint and you won’t need to open the terminal at all unless something really bad happens.

Not directed at you specifically, but it’s the same with IT and dev people but with security/privacy.

I was actually surprised Netflix took this on given some themes and scenes can be considered controversial today. So I’m cautiously optimistic because I feel like they might change some of it to tone it down.

Pot meets kettle.

I unfortunately am not able to watch current shows as they air, but the latest one I saw was Kaiju No. 8 which I believe came out earlier this year. It was pretty good, and I hope they do season 2 soon.

You’ll know it when you feel the satisfaction of getting to enter pacman -Syu in the terminal several times a day and a new update or two. lol

I already do, and most hardware in the office are macbooks, toshibas, and dells. Also, it’s no longer as common for companies to allow employees to buy/adopt old hardware and they choose to recycle instead.

I wish someone randomly gifted me a thinkpad as well

This is very good insight and something that no one else touched on. OP if you see this, while being a power user on your personal linux machine does help with skills and getting you jobs, it’s still very different from administering an enterprise linux machine in a corporate environment. One thing you can do is set your own homelab and mini environment at home. This will get you more experience with actual administration and will be a great asset to disclose in interviews.

Even with big companies I’ve never seen one where the applicant had to find a schedule for the interview, instead of the recruiter reaching out out and checking availability. This is odd even for bigger corporations, or maybe times have changed (I haven’t applied for a new job for a while now).

There’s nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.

They’re just not invested in it yet. Once their money is in it, they’ll suddenly say it’s the best thing in the world.

It depends on what you’re getting it for and why. Also, never pay for training and certifications, especially the pricey ones. It should be your employer paying for it.

Technically not a DE, but I like plain openbox.

As one comment mentioned, it depends more on the DE. But out of the box, I’d say Peppermint, Elementary, and Mint.

It’s funny how you devolve into insults then say someone is arguing in bad faith without even putting the effort of discussing the points being discussed in the article. I had a better discussion with OP compared to this exchange. I will not waste my time in these types of responses. Again, goodbye and I hope you have a less angry day.
