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 🤷‍♂️

You can always set watchtower to blindly pull for you. If it’s going to be broken anyways, might as well automate the process.

Am I understanding correctly that you are building the image by copying in key elements from the host machine’s functioning nginx installation?

This is creative but not common approach to docker.

Normally software is installed following the officially documented procedure (imagine installing using apt or a shell script via RUN). Sometimes software documentation has specific recommendations to follow for containerized installs.

It’s common to have the version defined as a variable where a change in value invalidates the docker layer cache. To me it’s unclear how caching would work with your dockerfile, for example, in the event of a upgrade. You could also see how a breaking change (such as one in the paths you are copying) could run into issues with your hardcoded approach.

In the case of software like nginx, I would use the official image, mount config/cert files instead of copying, and extend in my own dockerfile if needed.

What I love about Debian is there are always instructions regardless of whatever random package I want to use or Linux thing I’m trying to do.

At the old job I was using IronPython (2.7) to write Grasshopper plug-ins in the Rhino CAD software. Luckily, it was mostly responsible for kicking off Python3 and Go subprocesses.

Now, the worst I’m stuck with is 3.8 for one of our repos using PyTorch.

Sorry, I did mean under powered.

I’m a big raspi fan but I think the Pi 4 will be overpowered for your needs.

I find Mint to be the most obvious choice for beginners who don’t use Lemmy.

Kinda comes across as someone complaining about how their company implemented agile. The only thing I can relate to is long sprints around the holidays, which I don’t see as an issue.

I’ve only worked for 20-30 person companies so maybe it’s a corpo thing? The post reads like a list of red flags that would have me looking for a new job pronto.

Seems to be more a problem of shitty management than agile vs waterfall.

In my experience this only happens when (re)installing Windows, not updating. Can be easily fixed via live USB.

So, I finally decided to ditch Ubuntu for desktop and servers last month and went distro shopping.

In the end, I settled on Debian. My rational was I had already been using Debian under the hood for nearly 20 years and it has treated me well. I’ve really come to appreciate that there is always an abundance of help and documentation compared to some other distros.

In addition to apt, I use flatpaks now.

Installing NVIDIA drivers manually kinda sucks but vanilla Gnome shell is so much nicer than Ubuntu’s Gnome.

This will completely depend on how and what is being distributed.

For example, I used to work on an app where assets (3D models, images, etc) were appropriately diff’d during updates but the binaries were not.

Been using the flatpak, works great!

Would never touch it personally, but I found your history of Windows piracy in China very interesting!

In the US the license was always bundled with the hardware unless you build your own. I worked for my university’s computer labs IT department and was able to acquire a key that I used for about a decade. Later, also scavenged a key from an old broken laptop, back when they printed it on the bottom, for my current Windows partition. Best to avoid paying for it…

I’ve been using mostly Windows for a desktop and Linux for servers for many years, but 11 is where I have to call it quits. My old friend Debian leads me forward from here :)

Video?

Unpopular choice here but Ubuntu LTS with ubuntu-debullshit (vanilla gnome, replace snap with flatpak).

My main factors:

• stability of the LTS
• drivers and HW support
• tons of resources online
• already use Ubuntu for servers and Raspian on my Pi

I’ve had my fun distro hopping in the past but I just want a low maintenance system nowadays.
