Employer here (UK)! I’m probably not normal being the MD and running Arch (actually) on my gear. I had to switch from Gentoo because I kept on burning myself.
For me, something like the LFCSA is something I respect because it is practical. Back in the day I did something similar (Novell I think). I’ve also grabbed a VMware … whatever … and that was a memory test and a waste of money. Who cares if you can quote the maximums?
When I’m hiring, I want to see application and knowledge and not a plethora of industry “quali-wankery”! You can always search for facts but knowing how to apply them is what I want to see.
Be flexible but do try to develop what sort of direction you want to take. What floats your boat out of dev ops, sysadmin etc?
You could also consider self employment/consultancy. I sort of fell into it 23 years ago …
As far as I know, other distributions just don’t show these errors, but Ubuntu choose to show them.
Most of them are just due too a BIOS implementation that is not entirely up to standards, from what I understand. It seems some manufacturers have chosen to make their system easier to use with Windows instead of strictly enforcing standards.
I just ignore the errors. As long as everything works properly, I feel fine with that.
It’s a very beginner-friendly distro, similar in goals to Linux Mint but more modern. It’s stable, comes pre-installed with graphics drivers and important apps like Wine, a custom clean version of Gnome or XFCE, and having a lot of UX improvements like explaining what Wine is the first time you open an exe file, and providing popular alternatives for the app you’re trying to install.
There’s nothing brand new about it, it’s just really solid and I do recommend it as people’s first distro.
This was the first I’d heard of it and from my first impression it seemed like it could be a solid beginner distributor.
Glad to see you do recommend it to beginners. This would probably be easier for my partner to get into compared to Pop!_OS (I’ll be testing this soon though!)
Second this. Zorin OS, and Mandriva Linux (before they went bankrupt, and the community picked up development) were my first exposure to Linux over a decade ago, and the ux familiarity really helps a ton.
A lot of the other distros had funny stuff going on with multiple docks, open apps showing in the top dock, others looked like a Stardock Special and it was just a little confusing for younger me lol
Does it ended? On all distros I know of, Fedora, Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, we can swap the desktop environments like gloves. The only exception being immutable things like Fedora Kionite, but they are made to be untouchable and for specific users.
Wayland does not change anything there, only that the desktops with less developers must take more time to adapt. What makes desktop interoperable are FreeDesktop standards, which are now in full swing to Wayland.
Yeah I really don’t know what they mean, in the past couple months I’ve used Plasma, Gnome, NsCDE, i3, Sway, Hyprland, Enlightenment, WindowMaker, Mate, Trinity, Xfce, and probably others I forgot
Kernel boot logs aren’t well disciplined to be careful about what is an error or not. Sometimes it’s just checking for the existence of hardware and reports the error it gets if it doesn’t exist.
Just the other day I was looking into how to use a single shared WINE prefix for multiple users since it’s not like any 2 users would ever use the same PC at the same time… TIL I was wrong
Unfortunately I don’t really have anything helpful to add except it seems like Linux is more or less inherently built to support what you’re looking for.
seems like a bug in one of rhe programs you’re using.
modt software automatically manages it’s cache…
are you using build caching tools such as Mozilla sccache? These tend to create 20gb+ cache directories, especially if used with debug builds
Unless you make your host OS read-only, it itself will keep writing while running your docker containers. Furthermore slapping read-only in a docker container won’t make the OS you’re running in it able to run correctly with an RO root fs. The OS must be able to run with an RO root fs to begin with. Which is the same problem you need to solve for the host OS. So you see, it’s the same problem and docker doesn’t solve it. It’s certainly possible to make an Linux OS that runs on an RO root fs and that’s what you need to focus on.
you should have no problem doing Python dev on nixos, it’s basically made for doing development environments like this without the need for containers. you should just be able to set up a nix shell for your project that contains python and all the necessary dependencies, and then enter the shell. then, you’ll have all the right dependencies installed for your project and still have access to any editors you have installed
I use NixOS for University and would highly recommend it if you want a highly configurable system that’s declarative, however, NixOS doesn’t have great documentation for certain features and usually does things differently, so you’ll have to learn the Nix way of doing things. On the plus side, I’ve never been unable to fix my OS when it broke, you simply rollback, or if there isn’t a suitable rollback, you can plug in a live usb and set the system to use a specific commit (can’t remember the exact command for this and that’s presuming you store your config with git). Also according to these statistics nixpkgs has more packages than the AUR.
I think you just mean “declarative”. Highly configurable is literally any distro. I’d say NixOS is actually LESS configurable by design, but that is sort of the point: a repeatable image based on a template no matter what.
Gnome and KDE are both great for different reasons. One of the things that’s great about Linux as a whole is it gives people the ability to choose the stack they like most
Thanks, yes that is actually a slightly more comprehensive backup, looking at their GitHub project at github.com/vikdevelop/SaveDesktop, and they have a Flatpak installation as well.
