Jokes aside though, we have to use Windows 10 iot VMs and VDIs to connect to secure production environments due to our clients’ corporate policies. Currently we host and sandbox the VMs on Linux servers in order to ensure the integrity of our interactions with the client systems. How the fuck arebwe supposed to do that in the future when the VM’s OS is constantly chatting with a third party?

In your opinion, how useful was Claude in your development process? How did you use it in your process?

The CEO was VERY clear about this in his interview with Larry Ellison’s CBS News.

She likes putting guests on the hot seat.

Any RAM or storage in those things? That solar panel looks useful.

I installed Pop!_OS on a Thinkpad in 2020 and have been using that install as my daily driver without issue. That includes multiple LTS release upgrades. The key is to stick with LTS releases. It’s boring because you do not get the latest and greatest features, but the payoff is rock solid stability.

EDIT: As far as distros, I stick with Pop!_OS for myself, Linux Mint for my wife (we’re both IT professionals), and LMDE for my servers.

Server or workstation?

I’ve been a Linux guy since 1996 but almost exclusively on the server side. I tried desktop Linux numerous times through the years but the experience wasn’t great. In 2012 I left Windows behind for Mac as my daily driver. In 2016 I built a Windows gaming system, and in 2019 I got sick of how shitty Intel Apple MBPs were so I got a Lenovo X1 Extreme, slapped PopOS on it, and it has been my daily driver ever since. Same machine. Solid as a rock. I do have an M1 MBP now, but itnis only for music production.

Linux on the Desktop is lightyears away from where it was just ten years ago. It’s crazy how painless it all is now.
