Asking for a Linux (or non-Windows) laptop during a job interview? - Lemmy.World
I’m interviewing for a software dev job currently (it’s in the initial stages).
If things work out, I’d absolutely prefer a work laptop with Linux installed (I
personally use PopOS but any distro will do), a Mac will be second choice, but I
absolutely cannot tolerate Windows, I abhor it, I loathe it, i hate it… (If all
computers left on earth have Windows I’d either quit this field or just quit
Earth). Sometimes it’s possible to tell if they use Windows or not, for example,
jobs with dotnet/C# are most likely using windows, but not in my case. Anyways,
is it too weird to ask what kind of laptop they provide to their employees? And
to also specifically ask for a Linux (or anything but windows) work laptop?
Easiest way to switch distros - Lemmy.World
I have been using PopOS for a while now (came installed with my S76 Lemp10), but
now looking for a new distro (I want to try Linux Mint). I am looking for the
easiest way to set up the new distro with most of my current applications
installed. My current plan on how to move my applications and settings: - Get
dotfiles to external repo (I am using stow) - Use ansible-playbook to set up
installation of all the apps I need - Try the ansible setup on a docker
container to ensure it works - Then try the ansible setup on a PopOS VM to
ensure things work - Modify the ansible setup to use Linux Mint package manager
(synaptic I believe) - Then try the ansible setup on a Linux Mint VM - Once
everything works, copy the data, install new distro and run ansible script on
the new OS Is above the correct way to go about this, or is there anything
better or easier available?
