I can recommend Arch because their Wiki made it very easy for me to solve all my issues more or less on my own. Personally I am interested in trying VanillaOS 2.0 soon.
I don’t think it holds much valuable information for you but since I switched from macOS to Linux a while ago too I am herewith sharing with you my Journey to Linux blog post from back then. ☺️
No matter how much you invest you’re time and effort for your job: You are expendable, and the only people who will know you were absent from home because of work 20 years later, will be your kids.
This is why yesterday, after completing double the minimum expected work, I “worked from home” for the last two hours. Meanwhile, there’s a senior on the team who did a quarter of the work I did last quarter. And he gets paid more!
That’s on you. Don’t every let them know exactly how efficient you are. They’ll look to maximize what you initially offer, meaning they’ll load up more on you. Why not? You do more for the same amount of dinero. It’s probably too late for you at that job but now you know for the next one - always work at 80% capacity max.
Always work at 80% of your max sustainable capacity. It’s a subtile difference, but one that will fuck you over. Just because you can run at a 500% burst, doesn’t mean you can sustain 400% for long.
Exactly. My policy is following: I will put out my maximum, work unreasonable shifts, pull as much as possible only if the bossman is right there beside me. Of course, my experience is outside huge corporate environments and more in SME, but I will not give a single extra fuck if I can help it. Once you do, it becomes expected of you all the time. Fuck that.
But yet for some of us it’s the first time we’ve seen it.
It’s definitely annoying af to see the same, tired crap over and over again, but there’s still always gonna be those of us “first timers”
100%. The rebranding of some HR departments as “People Officers” or “People Team” drives me bonkers. When push comes to shove, they will always protect the interests of the business before the interests of the employee. Full stop.
The longer you work anywhere – and I mean ANYWHERE – the more you see the bullshit and corruption and crappy rules or policies and inequality all over.
For me it has been about the 3 year mark anywhere I’ve worked: once you get past that, you fade away from “damn I’m glad to have a job and be making money!” and towards “this is absolute bulls#!t that [boss] did [thing] and hurt the workers in the process!” or similar
Funny, that’s actually what motivated me at my last job. Things were fucked up, but not so fucked up that it was overwhelming. It was the Goldilocks zone of just fucked up enough that I think I can not only fix it, but look good if I do. It was a fun journey, all told, but there were definitely frustrations, even ones that lasted years.
I forgot one essential tool, where I need a recommendation for: spotlight. I use it to switch quickly between applications or to folders. Keyboard shortcut, first letter of the application name and enter… I know there are solutions, but I only heard from Ubuntu, which I don’t want. Anything simple and fast you can recommend?
They’re busy attending a klan rally right now, but they’ll take a message if you scream it into the face of a trans person while filming yourself for a Truth Social post.
Actually, opposing communism makes you literally a nazi. You’re not a nazi, are you? No, of course not. So you must not be opposed to communism, either. What a relief, I’m glad we got that sorted out.
