Got bored of Ubuntu and reloaded my laptop with OpenSuse 15 with GNOME. It feels as polished as CentOS/RHEL, but it actually has modern software. Imagine that!
Beauty secret:
This morning, I watched one of my cats dip her paw into a pool of sunlight and then run it over her fur luxuriously, over and over.
Sometimes self care is mailing yourself little books of poetry and then forgetting about them.
Switching to Linux
I want to feel good about the tool I use everyday and I want it to reflect what I stand for so I just ordered a Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro (https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/Linux-Hardware/Linux-Notebooks/10-14-inch/TUXEDO-InfinityBook-Pro-13-v3-133-matte-Full-HD-or-QHD-IPS-aluminium-case-up-to-Intel-Core-i7-Quad-Core-up-to-32GB-RAM-up-to-two-HDD/SSD-up-to-12h-battery-Typ-C-Thunderbolt-etc.tuxedo) from @tuxedocomputers & they kindly agreed to preinstall Pop!_OS 18.04 for me (thank you, Vinzenz, you rock!)
I maxed it out with an i7 4-core CPU, 32GB RAM, 1TB Samsung Pro SSD & a QHD+ screen that I plan to run at 200% HiDPI.
This will be my main dev machine going forward. Can’t wait! :) https://mastodon.ar.al/media/1uMEIMJwnL3akninfBE
Reloaded my laptop to #ubuntu 18.04. Although I never hated it, I was never wild about Unity. It always felt awkward. The new GNOME-based environment is really elegant. This could be a keeper instead of just the distro of the week.
Moved over from the apparently now-defunct mastodon.cloud instance, so kind of, but not really #newhere.
I'm into #linux, #privacy, #music of most kinds, #photography, and #cats, especially #lolcats. I'm also an unabashed #Christian (and rational, too!), but I don't thump people over the head with the Bible or hate on the LGBTQ+ crowd, either.
