Tubi is way better anyway.

From hacker stock photos to now weird AI generated thumbnails.

Did you have to do any special configuration, or was it a seamless installation just like a non-mac laptop?

Right, but the distros employees are allowed to use are dictated by corporate IT so they are able to control them and have the required endpoint security tools. So people who prefer linux have very limited options.

Most of our sysads use macOS. A few use linux but they have limited choices with distros and can only use fedora I think.

Yeah it really actually only takes a couple of big users moving to Mastodon to cause a domino effect of a mass migration. I hope more people with tons of followers start moving over.

The video on the article is even funnier. They didn’t even mask the person’s voice, so it just sounds like a dude talking through a speaker. And he fumbled pronouncing “autonomous”.

Tilda because you can roll it down from the top of your screen with one key press.

Ok the push notification pop up started to piss me off halfway down lol. But yeah, this is a cool demonstration.

Like the “Come to Brazil!” comments on every music video or concert on youtube.

The only barrier to entry is creating a usb installer. Once you’re past that, there’s nothing more than basic computer knowledge to do what you need to do. By basic, I mean knowing how to use a computer, so you should be good. Just choose a user friendly distro like Mint and you won’t need to open the terminal at all unless something really bad happens.

Not directed at you specifically, but it’s the same with IT and dev people but with security/privacy.

Lol and the two biggest are close in color as well. At least make those two clear distinct colors.

Pot meets kettle.

You’ll know it when you feel the satisfaction of getting to enter pacman -Syu in the terminal several times a day and a new update or two. lol

I already do, and most hardware in the office are macbooks, toshibas, and dells. Also, it’s no longer as common for companies to allow employees to buy/adopt old hardware and they choose to recycle instead.

I wish someone randomly gifted me a thinkpad as well

This is very good insight and something that no one else touched on. OP if you see this, while being a power user on your personal linux machine does help with skills and getting you jobs, it’s still very different from administering an enterprise linux machine in a corporate environment. One thing you can do is set your own homelab and mini environment at home. This will get you more experience with actual administration and will be a great asset to disclose in interviews.

They’re just not invested in it yet. Once their money is in it, they’ll suddenly say it’s the best thing in the world.

It depends on what you’re getting it for and why. Also, never pay for training and certifications, especially the pricey ones. It should be your employer paying for it.
