I used to run Ubuntu, but i am totally hooked on the immutable thing that they are doing.

As someone using bazzite, it just works out of the box and I think that’s exactly what a lot of the windows uses are looking for.

Is that how Americans make screenshot?

Linux can only do 1080p resolution haha

If you buy a PC with hardware tailored(like macos) for Linux it will be absolutely flawless. Not really a fair comparison.

I actually have not had issues with Linux. I used ubuntu on lenovo for years.

Only when trying to install cuda compiler on Ubuntu with my desktop.

Buy now I am wiser: bazzite KDE with nvidia GPU is amazing. Use flatpacks for everything (maybe snap for things like IntelliJ) and if you have to, then use homebrew.

So far not a single issue.

Copy files and do a

python3 -m http.server

Very simple and does the job.

Try to touch it

Quite an effective way to destroy someone’s reputation and ego.

What a colleague! Haha!

We didn’t have a CEO for half a year… What changed? Nothing…

Then we got a new CEO… His new policies caused loss of revenue so we had to fire 50 people…

Thank god for that save

Here is the expendability graph

If the guy with the “don’t-turn-off”-server gets fired everyone know that the ship will sink

She will catch right on, just trust my advice. A “mouse” is overrated, I haven’t used on in years. Once you memorize the man pages(just a few minutes) should be smooth sailing

Akshually its called GNU/Linux 🤓

It’s actually really easy, the best is to start with Linux From Scratch. That’s how you get a couple of hours of heartwarming fun and games.

Start on your grandmother’s PC she can join the fun

Gaming is really good on bazzite.

What if those chains handle thousands of massages per second?

Serious backend is indeed a stretchy term. And I agree with that point b2b java is common. But our b2b backend handles multiple thousands of massages per second. I find the bottleneck to be MySQL and RabbitMQ.

I think it makes sense for a serious backend to have load balancing and nginx cache and horizontal scaling. I reckon QPS doesn’t matter as much as you think it does.

I still don’t think that java would be considered niche. I rather think that C or C++ would be considered niche. It takes longer to develop, and is not memory safe so I don’t think that most backend systems should consider it.

Most developers are not going to create the next kubernetes. For me it is usually down to earth integrations. Take this file from s3, send as email and sftp here. Create API to proxy another API. Take messages from Kafka, put on rabbitMQ. Save messages from rabbitMQ to database.

I think Java is very strong with libraries. Especially with Spring Boot and camel. I don’t really see it as niche but more of a plain boring peanut butter sandwich. Boring. Unexciting. But works.

I am however trying to convince my boss to allow kotlin. Which has access to all the java libraries

I have a colleague like that too, and then the other camp that loves MySQL.

Why do you like postgres
