I am so happy that my parents didn’t buy me a better laptop a decade ago, so I was forced to use a shitty thinkpad laptop. After reading online, I figured out that Linux makes it faster…
Depends. Whatever choice you pick - go with Plasma (KDE) desktop. Most of below choices have alternative desktop flavors that offer Plasma instead of Gnome.
If your goal is to play games - something like Bazzite might work.
If your goal is to have a desktop experience with some gaming, something like NobaraOS or PopOS would work.
If your goal is only desktop experience - ubuntu will work.
If your goal is to learn and have super awesome Linux desktop - Arch Linux.
Personally I am in Arch Linux for the past decade. Tried many different ones and Arch Linux is the only one that simply “just works” for me. Not suitable for beginners.
First time hearing about sshuttle, thanks! What I did some time ago is to order small VPS in Linode, hosted wireguard server and let my router connect to it. Since connection is established - I’ve port-forwarded all ports (except 22) from VPS to my router via established wireguard connection.
Then all I have to do is to manage port forwarding on my router, but if I want to connect to my router from outside - I must use VPS IP.
Worked great, except the fact that I used to have mobile internet and as a rule of thumb - upload speed of mobile internet suck ass…
Best use-case of AWK is that you can avoid using grep for picking a Nth word in specific line. I tend to ask GPT4 to write one-liner for me. Works super great.
Suddenly no more office-only or office-first policies, suddenly there is money to offer, suddenly there is possibility to have a better computer.
Also suddenly HR system couldn’t work for a week, so signing a new counter-offer contract might not be possible at the moment. “Cancel your offer, you will sign in next week”.
