  • Got a new M.2 drive and installed Linux on it, still run windows on my old disk (no dual boot, only go to bios when I need windows).

    Experience has been amazing so far, biggest issues for me are the following

    1. Had to get used to Gimp instead of my very legally acquired version of Photoshop
    2. Discord screen share does not have audio and is laggy as hell (an alternative discord-screenshare application exists but gives my voice a 1-2 second delay which upsets my gf when we’re in voice, although it can stream entire desktop with audio which is amazing for watching shows together)
    3. Some games with anti-cheat don’t work, so if I want to play those I still have to jump on windows.
    4. No HDR (but it looks to be coming to KDE and Cosmic soon)

    Apart from this the experience has been amazing. I’m using Nobara and mostly gaming. As a dev terminal, scripts and ssh to my raspberry pi:s is just such a seamless and nice experience.


  • As a new programmer who actively treads carefully in date-data-dabbling territories it is amusing to see how shit commercially available code is, especially in the e-commerce world.

    I started my first programming job 2 years ago working with building Magento 2 sites. I already knew Magento was a horrible mess to begin with, but I took whatever I could get. After witnessing the publishers, developers and code of 99% of the plugins available (which is btw quality certified on Adobes marketplace) I can safely say that there is so much shit code squirted out every second be self-taught developers working in shitty small companies with CEOs trying to earn a quick buck.

    It is actually insane how bad the code was, I can not with words describe how bad it was. Every time I felt impostor syndrome i would just open up vendor and look at a random plugin to confirm that I am at least not a Magento plugin developer.

    If you’re running Magento, change, preferably 10 years ago, but change.
