Antix on my dell mini netbook.

Multi machine VMs I manage at work run on red hat enterprise with no DE or WM.

My web app servers at work run Ubuntu server 24 LTS with no DE or WM.

My home lab runs on fedora 41 server, no DE or WM.

I have a folder for my projects on root and within those projects I have my GitHub repos all contained within their own directory named the same as the project.

If I am learning something, I have a folder for the topic I am learning, and a logseq file with all of my notes. Then I have folders for my book references, one for video or audio references, and then a folder for my practice projects.

That all makes sense. I would for sure be unhappy if I had to sue it for more than just remote connections.

I manage the few linux servers at my company. I use a windows laptop to ssh to my servers. Windows for me is fine, but I do very little on it outside of ssh or emails. However, I would never use windows outside of this.

Same. Proxy detected and will not let me check it out. Seems like a cool idea though.

There is nothing stopping you from putting the effort in. Why don't you pick some hardware and start working on building support for it?

Fair point. Hadn't followed recently, but that suggestion makes sense. I would personally buy used, but I totally understand others not wanting to and buying the newer chips would make the most sense there.

You could go either way. But with the shit going on with the 13th and 14th gen Intel chips, I personally would rather go the AMD route. I would actually probably go with 5000 series chips with ddr4 ram for the savings. It would probably still be a huge upgrade for me, and it would be overall a much cheaper upgrade. If you are gaming primarily, the 5800x3d is still an amazing chip for gaming when it comes price to performance.

The issue I find with the surface is that it just isn't lapable. Using it on my lap is nearly impossible. Good on a desk though.

I have been using terminal almost exclusively for about a decade or more. But, when I started I just decided to do it. And that meant that every time I wanted to do something, it would take me forever because I would have to look it up. Eventually, I got faster and faster and now anything I want to do with a gui, I can almost certainly do faster with terminal.

I have used a number of distros over the last 15 years. Once I found one I liked, I stuck with it. I understand the package manager, some of the special features of the distro I use and I don't really have time to relearn this every couple of months on new distros.

If I want a different "feel", I change my DE. But that's about it.

Lol that is what you said. My bad. Must have read it wrong. That's on me.
