I would love to make the switch, but I am certain that absolutely zero of my government mandated apps will run on this thing.

I have an unfinished Software Engineering degree. While studying, I started a small businesses to do some freelance IT work on the side and one client offered me a full-time job, so I put the studies on hold and then never looked back. Been climbing through different positions and companies since then. Experience is valued much higher than a diploma, especially in an industry that evolves too quickly for education to keep up. I quit the industry recently to start teaching, because there is huge need for teachers that can teach programming, and working with people is much more rewarding than a big paycheck (imo).
In all of my job interviews, I’ve been asked more about the company I started while studying, than the degree that I quit. So I guess my tip is to start your own thing or start teaching. Having your own business with a license also makes it way easier for big companies to hire you for contract work.
Not it!
For a democracy to work it’s people need to act like political consumers. To do so, they need to be informed about the products they consume and their alternatives.
Also, a lot of Scandinavian libraries are switching their public desktop PCs to Linux.
LightBurn should hire better developers then
A lot of people don’t get episodes that do not “progress the story” and tend to see it as “filler episodes” instead of fresh and artistic experiments by the creators. I think a series like Atlanta (which is fantastic) would be impossible to enjoy for that type of people.
And 99% of computer use for most people is in a browser. No need for an overly complex OS, with constant stupid pop-ups to ruin that browser experience.
Defintiely! I recently bought a used Thinkpad and slapped Pop!_OS on it for my father-in-law. He’s 73 and he’s loving it! He proudly tells his friends that he is now “a part of a computer revolution”.
I hate heat guns. This is a brilliant alternative, thanks for the idea!
It had to do with encoding which works out-of-the-box in the Studio version, and not at all in the free version on Linux. I could’ve solved it by using something like Handbrake, but I didn’t want to add the extra step to my workflow. I also bought my Blackmagic 6K second-hand, so I’ve been wanting to properly pay them for their awesome products for a while now anyway.
Made the switch to Pop!_OS from Win10 half a year ago, and my machine’s been purring like a happy cat ever since. All my games still run (thanks, Proton!) and some even had a significant performance boost (RDR2 being the best example) with a 3090. Only problem I had was getting DaVinci Resolve to work properly, but I caved and bought the Studio version which runs perfectly.
I’ve printed usable pieces on my Prusa Mini with the highest detail settings. Far from perfect, but definitely usable.
If you haven’t heard of it before, LeoCAD is pretty cool for modelling with LEGO.
If you need DaVinci Resolve, just know that when you switch to Linux, you will lose the ability to read and render mp4 files. You will need to buy the full version to be able to do this on Linux.
I use my desktop primarily for video editing, 3D modeling, and a bit of gaming, and it’s been running Pop!_OS since December with absolutely zero issues. The only annoyance has been the mp4 file thing in DaVinci.
Please take your time to enjoy the modeling process! His birthday isn’t until late may, and I wouldn’t want to rush you. If you share it whenever it’s ready, I’ll be super happy, thanks.

Do you have a good model you can share? I have a friend who loves his pax, and his birthday is coming up soon
Pushbullet works great for exactly this
Spare parts and resilience. Thinkpads are the most tanky laptops available.
Mandated is the wrong word. “Required for absolutely everything” is more precise. In Denmark you need an app called “MitID” to do any kind of digital verification. You can’t do online purchases, banking or digital bureaucracy without it.
