I write better code everyday because yesterday code always looks bad haha.

From what I see on github, there are major issues for Linux.

I am already fighting poorly designed vendor tools, adding one more unstable software in my workflow is just more frustrations.

Their client is only on MacOS though.

Probably a mathematician or physicist somewhere.

I hate reading the code I wrote two days ago.

Do you think that traditional project management is from the top down? Or were you exposed to bad traditional project management? Because that’s the same argument that you are making for Agile.

Let’s make things clear - the Agile methodology is a great tool. But like any other tool, it is not a one size fits all. But what is happening right now is that it’s pushed by upper management because that’s the cool tool.

Like traditional project management?

No, it just means that this is not the right tool for that company. But it is forced upon the employees.

That’s naive ( or bad faith) to think that it gives power to the workers. It’s just used against them.

I get the spirit of the method, but it is not the only available tool and the right tool for every project and company and should be treated as such.

If there is so few people that get it right, maybe the problem is that the system is not adapted for the vast majority of people and the reality of the work life, and other options should be explored.

But there is always someone claiming that everyone else get it wrong and blablabla.

But someone with a MBA in a closed office is pushing that shit all the time, and everyone that has to use it roll their eyes because they know damn well that the only thing that will matter is those damn story points, and the people will game the system because that’s all that matters to those that don’t use the system, and you will hear about that other team that always finish the tasks in their sprint.

You are right that the terminal is a really useful tool. But for the average user, the terminal is intimidating.

No other OS works like Linux in term of UX. You can use iOS or Windows without a command line all your life.

As this post describe, it is next to impossible with a Linux Distro.

For the people that want Linux to be mainstream, this is an important hurdle to go over.

I know that Windows sometimes shit the bed where you need to edit a register or use PowerShell, but for the vast majority of people, it won’t be needed ever in their life.

I am mostly gaming these days but a few months a year, there is a 3d printed project with some embedded components so I’d like the distro to be relatively easy to use in those cases.

Thanks for the explanation.

I don’t have a lot of time these days, so my PC is mostly used for gaming at the moment. So I am not too worried about the OS being immutable if the gaming is good out of the box.

I still keep a kubuntu os and dual boot the other os I want to try on another ssd.

How is Bazzite for other things than gaming? For me, mainly embedded dev and productivity.

Linux Mint would be an OS built on the Linux Kernel.

Some people have a hang-up on calling any Linux kernel based OS “Linux”, because unlike its competitor, there is a lot of OS flavors.

You have “main” OSes (Debian, Fedora, etc.) and derivative OSes based on these “main” OSes.

Linux Mint for example, is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian.

At this point, it is semantics.

I recently switched to KDE. What tweaks do you recommend (other than finding a theme you like)?

I tend to add is to booleans toreally differentiate between a method name and a status.

def open_file_dialog(self):
    self.dialog_file_is_open = True
    pass

That way, it’s easier for my dumb brain to spot which is which at a glance.

It usually means that their logical thing is pretty good because discrete math is pretty much all that.

You learn a concept, then you modify it to apply to different contexts for different applications.

The math competitions is a good training for that.

Ubuntu is a great gateway distro to Linux. It ressemble Windows a lot, stable and straight forward to install and use.

So a new user is not too lost when switching over.

And, yeah, privacy is not that great, but having installed windows 11 on a new PC, Ubuntu is a lot better than windows

Ventoy has changed my life. No more having to find a unused usb key to format then flash.

Just drop the ISO, boot on the key and choose whatever you want to try/install.

Thanks for the input, but I am just not using the kvm anymore. It’s flaky even in normal use. I will get a wireless mouse with connection profile and have 2 cables for my keyboard.

It was a hyperbole that companies never give back, but for every company that donates, how many don’t?

If the companies would give back even a fraction of what they generate by using FOSS, then it would be viable for a lot more people to be a FOSS developer.
