What OS do you use on your pc and why?
  • My battery life actually almost doubled coming from Manjaro, but I get what you mean. 3-4 hours isn't that much with modern MacBooks getting almost 14 hours. I think this will improve as framework iterates and I might upgrade in a few generations

  • What OS do you use on your pc and why?
  • I just finished moving over from Manjaro to Fedora 38 KDE on my framework, and everything just worked out of the box. I didn't need to install any extra packages to get gestures or make the fingerprint reader work.Much more stable, and has btrfs by default. The only thing I miss is the ZSH from manjaro was brilliant, but I guess I can set that up to be similar later on.

  • What open source project(s) are you working on?
  • Not a good programmer, but I've been writing documentation improvements for a few projects I use in my free time. I'm doing it for kopia currently as the documentation for that project is not great at the moment.

    Kopia is a deduplicating backup application similar to BorgBackup and Restic, written in Golang by a former google engineer. It creates infinite incremental backups, has encryption and compression, and works with S3, B2, SSH, or a local filesystem.

  • Which distro has the best GUI in your opinion?
  • I just switched to Fedora 38 with KDE and it's been great! It's using Wayland now too, so it's been really smooth and stable. My last distro was Manjaro with KDE, but I started having issues with the lastet round of updates and wanted to switch to something more stable. I really don't like gnome as it feels to "basic". Sure it looks nice, but for me it feels like it's missing some important features that are just there with the default KDE layout.

  • What's your favorite easy dish to cook?
  • I like to make a stir fry with hokkien noodles Start with some frozen stir fry vegetables and some oil. Once the veg is mostly thawed, I'll add some kind of protein, usually eggs. The egg gets scrambled then fried in a large skillet on med-high heat until it starts to brown, then flip and repeat. Don't move the egg around while its cooking, it should be like an omelette. Roll up the egg and cut into thin strips and mix with the veg, add the noodles and cook for a minute. Stir in your sauce of choice, usually I use teriyaki or black bean sauce.
