Thanks, I’ll check it out

The only thing holding me back from asking for an Ubuntu laptop at work is email certificates that we need to install on windows for outlook. Otherwise I’d love to be able to switch

They don’t even let us install wsl2, so annoying

recently got asahi running on an m1 macbook pro. loving the battery life that I get out of it

for an entire year’s worth of development, I honestly would have expected more. Good to see that improvements are being made, but still, it’s pretty small

I’m guessing that it’s going to be hard for us outside of China to have a good idea of just how much has been deleted

This 100%. Even if you don’t like canonical, you can get Ubuntu for free and then later pay for support if you need. They have experience managing fleets of systems.

There’s a post on Reddit where a Brazilian state government org is testing out Ubuntu at scale.

Great news to hear. It would be cool if they put out more info/news/blogs about the issues they run into

Haven’t paid much attention to this side of things, but this will definitely be an important goal to reach

I use Linux mint on my old Thinkpad and for the most part it works great. I use Kubuntu on my desktop. Asides from from weird hardware issues I had when initially setting it up, works great as well (Wayland too).

I agree with others: Linux mint, fedora, Ubuntu. Honestly, whatever gives you the least number of issues

Is this going to be a truly new key or just a shortcut?

I didn’t think that the market share was actually changing much? Like it’s low but it’s still used, especially on Linux workstations with nothing else pre-installed

I spent 3 days trying to get manjaro to work on my old macbook air 3, and still ran into a borked display sometimes after opening from sleep

I installed endeavour os (online failed, offline worked), and so far I haven’t had a single major issue with it

Wow that’s a long time! I think I’m gonna go ahead and try it

Nothing’s gonna be perfect for everyone 👍

Didn’t realize you could host your own, that’s good to know

Good to hear that the fight is going

My team practices rebasing instead of merging, but generally our tasks are pretty separate so conflicts are uncommon. The ones that we do have are not that big.

However I am anticipating more of them now that we’re changing build systems

I haven’t heard of it actually, I’ll take a look

Work:

• C/C++
• Python
• Matlab (don’t use this one)

Personal:

• Julia
• Rust
• Fortran (trying out something specific rn)

My favorites right now are Julia & Rust. In their respective fields they’re a breath of fresh air and I enjoy coding in them so much. If Carbon ever manages to get off the ground floor I’ll be interested in trying it out. Regular C++ has too many footguns

my team had issues when IT accidentally changed permissions on the files inside a bare git repo located on a file-share. Otherwise it works okay as people clone and work locally. Not the best solution but we’re working around restrictions that makes this the easiest thing to do
