Asking for a Linux (or non-Windows) laptop during a job interview?

I’m interviewing for a software dev job currently (it’s in the initial stages). If things work out, I’d absolutely prefer a work laptop with Linux installed (I personally use PopOS but any distro will do), a Mac will be second choice, but I absolutely cannot tolerate Windows, I abhor it, I hate it… (If all computers left...

I KNOW I’m gonna get A LOT of hate for typing this, but if a MacBook is cheaper than the laptop you want, you should get a MacBook…

It has nothing to do with my life, I just really like that song

Has anyone else gravitated back to *facebook* a bit?

i can’t believe i’m saying this, but i’m finding myself enjoying facebook more. the UI and design feels vintage early 2010s, the choice of reactions is nice vs just liking or upvoting something, you can sort the replies by chronology / recent / best instead of being forced to read blue-check morons, there’s an incredible...

Whats your thoughts on Ai in your terminal? (www.warp.dev)

Today i was doing the daily ritual of looking at distrowatch. Todays reveiw section was about a termal called warp, it has built in AI for recomendations and correction for commands (like zhs and nushell). You can also as a chatbot for help. I think its a neat conscept however the security is what makes me a bit skittish. They...

I’m not the biggest fan of the forced account thing, but I do like a lot of Warp’s features. The command suggestions especially make dealing with tools that have like 1000 switches so much easier (like docker for example). Other than that… It’s easy to customize, fast and looks good.

Tl;Dr: I like Warp, cry about it.

I use fish and have used it for a long time and it works very well with warp, actually. You get both it’s autosuggestions and warp’s autocomplete. 's nice

At what age do you think is too old to be living with parents?

Background+rant: I’m in my early to mid-20s and still living at home with my dad. I’m not a NEET and am employed at a normal office job. I enjoy the comfort of my home. I like being with family (and I believe they feel blessed to have their kid at home longer). I like not having to pay rent. However, I also keep feeling some...

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

I’m conflicted with myself. As I personally don’t see the issue with living with my family or other relatives. Especially with the cost of living being as high as it is now, it’s nice to not have to pay rent. I do get the freedom argument, however I think that it held more value 30-40 years ago when the economy was different. Now… Dunno I guess I just find more value in not being bound by 1000$ a month rent.

While it does sound like a good idea, I feel like most o people would use it to make an echo chamber.

AI can be of great help when learning docker, as it is genuinely super confusing. You don’t “find” docker, it’s a terminal program that you interact with… From the terminal.

I’m gonna get A LOT of hate for this, but check out Warp terminal. It has a really nice GUI for configuration and really nice autocomplete for commands.

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

Because it’s closed source and requires a sign in. Imo worth it, as it’s a very nice terminal.

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, you can call literally any more advanced terminal “alacritty with tmux”, but I don’t think that’s fair. And I for one find Warp’s AI features fairly useful. It’s also as I mentioned above got a really nice autocomplete and configuration UI. (It’s autocomplete is an absolute godsent when it comes to dealing with docker…)

VM suggestion for gaming?

Welp, it’s finally happened. Windows 10 has become so bloated, slow, and spooky that I finally have decided to bite the bullet and set up a VM on my linux Mint partition. Do you have any suggestions for a virtual machine? My PC is a relatively basic mid-range business laptop, 8gb of ram, no GPU, only a few years old. I’m a...

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

I wouldn’t virtualize windows with 8gb ram. Also, gaming on a VM normally is not possible, unless you want to pass a GPU to it, which isn’t possible on a laptop. I’d say dual boot. Have a your main linux system where you do your work stuff and a windows one for 2 games that don’t run on linux. Though, unless you play those few games, you’ll probably be fine even without windows, as most games tend to run fine on linux these days.

Presi300,

Nah it’s more like xorg bad because:

  • It cannot handle multi monitors well
  • it’s slow as shit
  • you cannot have desktop animations and do anything graphically intensive
  • it’s buggy
  • Xorg screen sharing sucks… It just does. I know I’m gonna get shit on for this, but pipewire screensharing is way better when it works.
  • No variable refresh rate support
  • No plans for HDR support
  • No 1:1 touchpad gestures (elementary os not included)

Wayland is just better, unless you have a very niche hardware setup or are trying to use an older Nvidia GPU with the proprietary driver…

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

I dislike Wayland

Why?

RedHat bad

What does that have to do with Wayland?

RedHat BAD!!!1!1!1!!!

Average Wayland hater

@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

You know that RedHat controls Xorg, right? Like… X11 is a RedHat thing.

no idea, it’s a part of my name and the number 300… yeah

Try Vesktop, it’s had seamless audio screenshare on pipewire for a while

Working on my website and messing around trying to get AMD ROCm to work, so I can run local LLMs faster… Nothing much really

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not usually one to blame the distro but… as another comment here has stated, “Most stable manjaro experience”. Try EndeavorOS, it’s manjaro but not bad.

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

At 1st it was arch, used it for about a year and a half, but dropped it after they broke grub. Then I went to fedora for a while, which I like a lot, however I’m running Gentoo atm

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

How to choose your 1st distro:

-Have 1 monitor: Linux Mint

-Have more than 1 monitor: Fedora

-Have a potato PC: AntiX

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

Mint does, X11 (cinnamon) does not

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

In my experience with X11, just in general, trying to run multiple monitors with different refresh rates and/or resolutions is where the big problem is. Everything just feels choppy and unstable…
