I spoke to the engineering manager over the phone about the options for laptops and they mentioned, Linux, Windows, and Mac laptops were available. Looking on Lenovo's website for laptops, some give an option of Fedora or Ubuntu. Are there other options? I believe the hiring manager mentioned RHEL and SUSE but I'm not sure. I really don't like using Windows for software development.

I (25M) was in a virtual Zoom lecture for a course at my school. During one of the lectures, someone corrected something the professor said that turned out to be slightly incorrect. The correction seemed more like nuance trolling rather than pointing out a blatant falsehood since the person was also smiling and slightly laughing while they said it. Myself and others responded to the interaction in the chat. One person said "got 'em" in the chat. I said "boom roasted" in the chat which is a reference to the TV show The Office. A clip from the show is the first thing that appears when you google it. The instructor laughed off the comment I made as well as those made by others. I could not tell

I am looking for a way to truncate names of buffers on the mode line based on the size of the emacs frame. The screenshot here with doom-emacs and zathura side-by-side shows what I mean. I want to be able to see the page number of the pdf regardless of how big the frame is. I couldn't find a setting for the doom-modeline package I could change to meet this requirement.

Has anyone had success running rtorrent-ps on Debian Bullseye? I followed the instructions here but have not had success. One of the package dependencies is python-virtualenv which is not available in my repositories (closest I could find is python3-virtualenv) and the default .tmux.conf gives an error (invalid option: window-status-current-bg) and after commenting out that line and trying again I get multiple errors from the auto-generated configuration files. Alos, one of the errors say rtorrent could not parse the command line argument. I'm considering trying again with [pimp-my-box](h

I recently installed Debian 10.3 "Buster" and installed the proper amdgpu drivers from the debian repo. Despite this. I frequently get high CPU usage with gnome-shell and xorg when doing basic tasks (web browsing), opening windows, etc. Running lspci | grep VGA gives me the proper GPU: VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 10 [Radeon RX 5600 OEM/5600 XT / 5700/5700 XT] (rev c4). Searching for "error" in /var/log/Xorg.1.log or /var/log/Xorg.0.log doesn't appear to give me any meaningful results related to GPU or CPU issues. Running on Gnome Classic is the fastest, but regular Gnome is unbearably slow (can barely move the mouse). Is it normal to experience jum

I am attempting to configure MPD to run as its own user "mpd" per [this guide Local (with separate mpd user)] (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Music_Player_Daemon/Tips_and_tricks#Local_(with_separate_mpd_user). Calling sudo mpd --no-daemon --verbose I get:

I think it's in the trailer but I can't find the movie using a Google search. The line may be slightly different than I remember.

I graduated college with a BS in psychology and a minor in computer science and have had difficulty finding work. I initially wanted to pursue research but I have become more attracted to programming as a career. My parents have offered financial help to go back to the same school to fulfill the computer science major requirements and then look for jobs in the tech industry. I anticipate it will take about a year to complete the requirements if I take summer courses. To offset some of the costs, they would prefer I live at home and commute about 1 hour and 40 minutes to school each way rather than pay rent+utilities in the city. I think this is doable if I can schedule as many classes in as
