I used Ubuntu for a long time, because it was easy to use and I wasn’t really a power user on linux (was just using it on a cheap laptop for classes a long time ago). When I built a server for myself recently, I didn’t really explore distros and plopped Ubuntu on it.

More recently, I got a new laptop and ended up installing Fedora on it. So far, I like Fedora a lot. I know there’s probably a better distro out there for me, but this one worked without fiddling and I’m liking it a lot more than Ubuntu. Ubuntu snaps kinda screwed my server for a year or so. I need to replace Ubuntu on that soon, I’m just not looking forward to dealing with that so it silently stays Ubuntu.

I agree with you. People are gleeful and smug about the firing. I’m proud of the people who stood up against a contract that will only bring death and destruction to the world and I am ashamed of those that smugly revel in their firing.

I’ll be interested to see how JetBrains’s Fleet works out. I like Rider a lot more than full Visual Studio (also Rider is actually available on Linux).
