Here we go! Congrats to the System76 team!

I’ve used it in a VM just to mess around. I’d like to install it on an old ThinkPad and try to compile some applications.

Hi, Brent!

Edge > Chrome. I use it at work. Much better.

What do you want to self host? To learn or experiment buy a cheap old x86 box. I get mine at goodwill auction. Otherwise desktop is good if you want something that needs more compute and that you’d spin up as needed vs always on.

Pop!_OS runs great on my intel MBP.

Firefox for personal. I like Edge for work stuff.

Writing by hand with a pen you like on nice quality paper can be enjoyable. The best for me is when I journal on my typewriter.

I am happy with Proton.

I was also asked this question at 15 while being interviewed by the local Sears. I went on to sell shoes though. Cordless phones would have been cool.

I wish I could get over the learning curve with GIMP but tbh my current workflow involves a windows 10 virtual machine for Photoshop. It works for my needs without GPU pass through.

I’m using Evolution as I prefer their interface. I’m curious to give the new Thunderbird a try when there’s a flatpak.

This is a good place to start if you’re already using the computer for several tasks.

Please, please, please, don’t be caffeine! 🤞

Oracle’s take on the RHEL news is laughable and frankly disappointing even by Oracle standards.

+1 for Brother. Works great printing from Linux.

FreeTube is great for downloading YouTube content to Jellyfin so my daughter can watch it without ads.

I use Gnome with the pop-os tweaks: shell, launcher, and workspaces. Looking forward to the new COSMIC DE from System76.

Do you really need to dual boot for office?

I’m doing fine compatibility wise with the OnlyOffice flatpak. If you have a school account with Microsoft perhaps the PWA for Word, etc. will meet your needs.

For a laptop distro with a good tiling DE out of the box you might enjoy Pop!_OS.
