The only thing holding me back from asking for an Ubuntu laptop at work is email certificates that we need to install on windows for outlook. Otherwise I’d love to be able to switch
They don’t even let us install wsl2, so annoying
recently got asahi running on an m1 macbook pro. loving the battery life that I get out of it
for an entire year’s worth of development, I honestly would have expected more. Good to see that improvements are being made, but still, it’s pretty small
hopefully the US doesn’t keep being stupid about RISCV lmao
this is great news! we definitely need corporate backing here
I’m guessing that it’s going to be hard for us outside of China to have a good idea of just how much has been deleted
This 100%. Even if you don’t like canonical, you can get Ubuntu for free and then later pay for support if you need. They have experience managing fleets of systems.
There’s a post on Reddit where a Brazilian state government org is testing out Ubuntu at scale.
Great news to hear. It would be cool if they put out more info/news/blogs about the issues they run into
I use Linux mint on my old Thinkpad and for the most part it works great. I use Kubuntu on my desktop. Asides from from weird hardware issues I had when initially setting it up, works great as well (Wayland too).
I agree with others: Linux mint, fedora, Ubuntu. Honestly, whatever gives you the least number of issues
Is this going to be a truly new key or just a shortcut?
I didn’t think that the market share was actually changing much? Like it’s low but it’s still used, especially on Linux workstations with nothing else pre-installed
This is the unfortunate truth. Mathworks tools are heavily used in the engineering space, so it’s an obvious choice for academia to teach.
As much as I try to get my company off of Matlab/Simulink, it’s a challenge. Just so much legacy already written in it
Wow that’s a long time! I think I’m gonna go ahead and try it
Nothing’s gonna be perfect for everyone 👍
Didn’t realize you could host your own, that’s good to know
My team practices reading instead of merging, but generally our tasks are pretty separate so conflicts are uncommon. The ones that we do have are not that big.
However I am anticipating more of them now that we’re changing build systems
I haven’t heard of it actually, I’ll take a look

Personal:
My favorites right now are Julia & Rust. In their respective fields they’re a breath of fresh air and I enjoy coding in them so much. If Carbon ever manages to get off the ground floor I’ll be interested in trying it out. Regular C++ has too many footguns
my team had issues when IT accidentally changed permissions on the files inside a bare git repo located on a file-share. Otherwise it works okay as people clone and work locally. Not the best solution but we’re working around restrictions that makes this the easiest thing to do
Being able to download your own data would be a start
Thanks, I’ll check it out
