  • Ubuntu has never been remotely stable for me. Something stupid breaks or becomes difficult to get what I want out of it.

    Been that way since it came out for me.

    I find Arch much less hassle than Ubuntu ever was.

    Just recently put Ubuntu on a machine for a work project. It was broken from the get go, throwing errors and being it’s usual shitty self.

    I could never recommend it.

    Fedora on the other hand has been on a spare laptop for about 6 months and I gotta say they really have put some polish in. Updates are frequent but reasonable and most everything works well. Some small issues but they are not show stoppers and Fedora is aware of them.




  • Yeah, I was think about that with teams. Mine doesn’t ring or notify, I will get it when I get it. It’s like IRC: you just ask the question.

    In the end if it works for you that’s great. My biggest problem is hybrid meetings. A roomful of people and a bunch of remotes makes them a mess.

    Either everyone in one place, or no one.

    For me remote is great. I keep a lot of wasted time stopped because I force documentation as a requirement. If there is a question needing asked, it and the answer gets written down, or it wasn’t worth asking in the first place.

    I like spending my time in other cities and countries instead of commuting.

    Edit. I wanted to add that you make a good point inadvertently about local businesses downtown. A lot of them were hurting without the foot traffic so that’s a positive.
