Thanks for the review. Added to 'to Read’s list.

What about his background do you find concerning?

ooo, I went to the Framework website. When I get a some ‘disposable’ cash, I will get a framework lappy.

Debian and Fedora, Debian and Fedora. That is a lot of the recommendations I’ve gotten.

Thank you for the reply. Many moons ago I tried to spin up a Arch lappy, but failed. I haven’t tried since (complaints about no free time and such), but I kinda took that fail that I always wanted to go back and try again!

Thank you for the rec. I will have to try nix when i get some time.

Yeah, Atomic is looking to be my next spin with a thinkpad lappy i have.

I have a fondness for Mint. I was able to build a desktop and a laptop with Mint for my parents. They’ve been using them for years now, at least over 5. It just works for them.

I was mostly using Fedora desktop with CentOS servers many years ago. Though, will soon spin up Fedora again.

I feel like you are being a little snarky, but well given because of my post. I will admit I had to spin up Win 10 to finish up some projects as I have so little free time lately.

Super appreciate the reply, d3Xt3r!

I’ve been screwed by nVidia cards before. I knew that but still bought the System 76 laptop… I have some decent laptops from previous jobs, I have a pretty beefy ThinkPad P52 that I will spin up Bluefin once I get a little freetime.

Thanks for the in depth response.

I’ve wanted to like Pop!. I think I tried it too early, being with it for years now. I will take a look again when Cosmic comes out.

Seems to be the consensus - Fedora with Docker.

Sorry, I should have elaborated when asking about ‘corporate users’. I was thinking what does Red Hat or Ubuntu or System 76 employees use? and I thought that was a ‘standard’ that I just didn’t know about that I would adopt.

As for companies asking to use your own pc - I’ve run into it a couple of times now since working from home/remote, that companies will ask you to sign in to some cloud apps to start onboarding before they send you hardware. Also, contracting / small gigs on the side!

I’ve always liked Fedora. I think I messed up in the past by trying to ‘tinker’ with different WMs instead of just doing my work. My next install will mostly be Fedora.

https://www.turnkeylinux.org/ check them out for a lot of your business, self-hosted needs. Odoo, like others have said, is on there. I once used moodle for new employee onboarding and training.

Lol. Do you know how many companies, even cyber security companies, that don’t use a VPN for remote workers? A lot sadly…
