I honestly just use webmail.

I use pop os. works out of the box.

what is your goal? My immediate thought was the Steam Deck but looking at the examples you’re looking for something else.

How do you work ‘in’ vr?

I generally end up using snake case.

Wanted to say this too but it really depends on what you’re using it for.

In my area being a linux admin actually pays less than I expected. I kinda always hoped to get into a linux admin role. Now I have a sort of cloud ops role and it makes more than a typical linux admin would. It would just be silly for me to pursue this any further. That doesn’t mean I don’t touch Linux on a daily basis at work. But it’s more alround.

What ia rofi? Are there more alternatives?

I lately often use chatgpt for these kind of things. It’s amazing in breaking down the parameters and what they mean. Verify, especially when the problem is hard and apparently unfindable. Chatgpt won’t find it either. It sometimes makes up things in these scenarios.

edit: You guys are allowed to not like my post but it really helps me so why not try it instead of just downvoting.

Why the downvotes? Ps is pretty good and it works well on Linux too.

I often end up in ps because I’m more familiar with it. But only if I have to do some scripting or so.

What are the advantages of Mint then compared to pop os? In what terms does it run circles around pop?

My biggest point is that it works out of the box and that it feels more premium compared to Ubuntu. It also auto updates nowadays and they build special mechanisms to preserve your battery if used on a laptop. Soon they will come out with their own desktop. They specifically focus on people who develop. Just sounds like a good option for OP. Compared to more difficult installations.

Why is no-one recommending pop-os? Works fine for me in all aspects. They even provide hardware, but that’s not needed, you can just use the OS.

Opinions are always biased.
