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?

Was about to say this one, it is very good!

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 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?

And égalité…

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.

UTF-8 is a variable encoding so none of the fixed sized type would work better for it.

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?

One crash was in libxul and the other in libcef I doubt this is a specific lib

I use paru and the default is “paru” with no parameter for the upgrade. But I am on your team here: I have to Google every single time the -Q params for all the queries and I have been using arch for almost 2 decades now: “who owns this file?” “what are the deps of this package?” “Which packages are installed?” “Which packages I explicitly installed vs dependencies?” Not a single one of them is intuitive to query with the pacman command line for some reason.

For me: Gentoo is a meta distro, you are the distro maintainer then the power user of that specific distro you created for yourself which can definitely be fun. Arch is more like: let’s give you one instance of a Gentoo distro when you are tired of being the distro maintainer.

Funny how it is all relative…

Red hat for a few months -> Gentoo for 10 years-> Arch for another 10 years

For me this is the opposite: Every time I am forced to use Ubuntu I feel like I am in a torture chamber especially with 3rd party packages.

The rust one is called bottom (btm) see the other thread :). When you already have a rust environment it is just at a cargo install away which is convenient.
