I daily drive my framework 13 since the first batch, upgraded twice the mobo. I run it on arch Linux, 0 issue whatsoever even after a year bringing it on site like the Texan boonies or on boats in the middle of the golf of Mexico .. Compatibility wise with linux, 100% of the peripherals work, even the finger reader thing.
Try Framework.
You'll get a laptop sized to your budget and you'll be able to grow with it, upgrade any part your budget will allow in the future.
Their linux support is excellent.
Didn't they say at one point that windows 10 would be the last windows version as they are switching to a rolling release model?
Copies are just very strong statistical correlations.
It is kind of shooting at the ambulance, zoom needs to also adapt to the new API. The alternative is a completely non functional Wayland for videoconferencing for years... Unusable stable is not better than unstable usable IMHO at least you have a shot at fixing it for the second option.
It drives me crazy. Just release it 18+months ago and iterate with versions, at least your users will have the feature in their hands.
Is it something you cannot learn by yourself or the certification is valuable for your career?
I have been an Arch user for years now and anytime I touch a debian based distro it is such a headache: weird patched packages that don't compile anything past or present, insta dependency hell with PPAs, package names of 200 characters because apt doesn't have a good way to represent metadata... It made me a strong believer that trying to fight the bit rot and stick to the old stuff is counterproductive: a consistent head based development with a good community fixing bugs super quickly results in less hours of work fighting the paleolithic era dependencies, safer (as security fixes are faster to get in, packages are foreign to hackers and constantly changing etc), easier to find documentation as you don't need to dig into history to find which option existed or not, recent stuff is also easier to support for the developers of the various packages as it is fresh in their minds. Another point is to look at it from a tech debt lens: either you fix your stuff to work with current deps now or you just accumulate tech debt for the next engineer to fix in a way larger and combining a mountain of breakages in the future that of course IT and SREs will never want to do until the 15y old software is a disaster of security issues...
I see some UI elements reuse more that textures no?
The presenter banging on the keyboard, seemed totally distracted for minutes to say 2 sentences. It doesn't need to be perfect but that level requires way too much good will to not just close the video... There is nothing wrong to say, ok let me regroup for a couple minutes then fully jump in for your audience.
Your overall process is perfect: first try to solve it from the UI, then the console, then the magic sysreq key.
The fact that your kernel was not responding to the sysreq key could mean a couple things: is it enabled on your install? (cat /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq to check)
Before trying to understand why the kernel locked up, are you sure everything is solid on the hardware side? ie. Did you overclock anything? If yes did you burn test the PC on some GPU demo?
"one man's trash is another man's treasure" almost to the letter.
I have seen another contributing factor in CS: it is really hard for the management to keep a good senior to junior ratio ie. A lot of juniors are trying to enter the workforce today. It means that during covid and shortly after the companies definitely relaxed as much as they could the geographical constraints for senior remote roles, also being senior they trusted them to work remotely not needing too much direct supervision. And now it backfires when your company is in silicon valley and you ask your senior developer from the boonies Colorado to move to an industrial concrete jungle.
So so so so many ads in that page that I genuinely lost the article in the middle, that's a first.
The crashes are in the middle of browsers (both Firefox and chrome embedded in Spotify), if you try a simple mprime stress test (from the AUR mprime-bin) does it crash too?
