I also started with Hoary Hedgehog!

I remember getting the pressed CDs in the mail for free. It was my first installed distribution but I remember messing around with a Slax Live CD before.

I subconsciously replace os.path with pathlib whenever touching any module for a refactor.

The only thing I really miss is CAD software for working with BREPs, I wish there was Rhino for Linux. However, I can do like 99% of projects in OpenSCAD.

Remmina is a treasure

Pydantic offers awesome runtime validation (using Rust).

GNOME. Love the simplicity!

Always ran xfce on my old used thinkpads!

I’ve been mostly a poetry guy but have tested out uv a bit lately. Two main advantages I see are being able to install Python (I relied on pyenv before) and it’s waaay faster at solving/installing dependencies.

In VS code these should work through the Remote-Containers flow, just like they do through Remote-SSH.

I have to use macOS at work and I sorely miss the efficiency and simplicity of gnome.

I’ve spent a lot of time configuring and tweaking various DEs in the last 20 years, but somehow gnome shell nailed it for me.

Happy to have many options as a Linux user!

It’s very minimalist and the project ditched the Windows-style approach some years ago. Personally, I’ve grown to love it and other DEs feel bloated now.

To each their own 🤷‍♂️

Hmm, I just re-read the blog post and GitHub where I thought I read that and I think I was mistaken…

Poetry support is on their roadmap!

I was gonna say, I don’t like to victim blame but why would people be grubbing around these days to begin with?

Ansible is so simple yet so elegant.

My company only requires that I run their AV agent (bit defender).

Microsoft Teams is even flakier than on Windows (yes, it’s possible…)

It’s not a dealbreaker for me but I feel your pain. Getting everything organized in Gitlab is a pleasure.

Righteous!

This is not a subscription but a perpetual license and for my needs it’s already well worth the price they are asking. Using this actively with my wife but also sharing albums with about 8 other family members.

I find the no-subscription model very attractive and I’m open minded to companies trying out new software licensing approaches. I like the idea of the developers getting paid for their good work and being able to do it full time.
