I prefer Linux (fedora with gnome) because it needs less tinkering out the box. It's the basic things like not having to install third party utilities to have window centric window management (as opposed to app centric window managemen

I still have Windows for multiplayer games (everything else is done on Linux). When I built this desktop, I had to buy a Windows 11 license. It wasn't free. My laptop's old license did not transfer. OEMs have to pay Microsoft for

I got my current job through GitHub. At least that's how the 3rd party recruiter told me he found me. It's possible he was lying and thought it would impress me (it did). My profile is more active than most, but very far from rock

I think it depends on if you define a functional language as one that functional programs can be written in, or a language that can only write functional programs. I often see JavaScript described as a functional language, so I think modern

I'd be interested to hear how you'd get the usability to be as good as an operating system designed to be used with a remote running apps designed to be run with a remote. Having to use a mouse and keyboard is a pain point for me
