  • You’re on the money with compatibility. At work I have equipment with accompanied proprietary software designed to run on RHEL. All hosts on my network run it, about 60% desktop and the rest blades

    A bit niche. I wanted to be comfortable with the system both as a user and as an admin so I daily drive it. Not the best user experience, but I’ve learned how to work around most issues people encounter with it and it’s helped a lot

    My preference outside of that would be really mixed. My spare time is dedicated to virtualization and containers so I’m mostly using a hypervisor like proxmox. As a desktop interface I’d probably choose something with gnome. Fedora is good, I’ve used it in the past and liked it











  • It’s not impossible and not sustainable. A 12/5 or 10/6 is considered “normal” in my industry/company. It’s toxic af but a lot workplaces in the US bake in competition as either an incentive for compensation. Some teams have a mandatory oncall rotation that fits that schedule if not slightly more

    The number of people replying anecdotally to this and other comments make me think it’s a lot more pervasive than I’d assumed. Young people in particular are being encouraged to work these kinds of hours to “get ahead” or “show initiative” in the hopes they don’t get laid off or overlooked for promotions

    I personally work it and I cannot handle it. The second I’m home my brain is done, only have time to do some mild (unhealthy usually) mental decompression and sleep poorly lol



  • I grew up in a very conservative area. The people in my demographic only want to see change. The right wing government under Trump has been robbing the future blind with zero regard for anyone, but the sentiment I keep hearing is a perception that something is happening. “He’s deporting the criminals,” “he’s saving our jobs,” “he’s making other countries pay us,” “he’s making America safe,” ergo the idea that progression in any direction is progress. People are stupid and short sighted when they are struggling. So the adoption of populism makes a lot of sense to me

    Another anecdote, there was a guy I used to work with that would say “we have to go all the way right to come back to center” and they actually believe that would happen lol

    Anyway I hate this shit so much, have a good day
