  • they’re cheap fucks.

    This is also the issue with most tech job postings. I got this one job offer, entirely unsolicited from my end, to move across the country to Manitoba to a small town. They were going to offer up to $5000 moving costs. And the job was for a full stack developer. The salary? $42k Canadian.

    I emailed them back telling them in blunt terms that their offer is insulting and far too low for any developer role.













  • Saying the chance of something going sideways is smaller than on Windows isn’t saying much

    True. I’ll grant you that.

    I’ll pick a distro that’s stable by default

    Arch isn’t “unstable” by any means. I’ve been running Arch EndeavourOS as my desktop distro that I develop on for years and it’s entirely reliable. Now I personally wouldn’t run Arch on any of my distros (I go with either Debian or NixOS), but there are people who do it and it works fine.

    Edit: I said “Arch” but I meant EndeavourOS, which is Arch with some QoL improvements.


  • But if my client is angry and my boss is breathing down my neck, and I can’t work because a thing isn’t thing-a’lating, a support path is essential.

    Arch is still stable enough for that. The chances of something going sideways is smaller on Arch than on Windows. And unless you’re a medium to large company paying Microsoft for enterprise support, you’re going to be stuck with forums for community help with Windows.

    Not really useless, it’s an extra layer of management (a good thing). The Proxmox system can be nearly static while giving you external level management of the OS that manages the containers.

    I have a 3 server Proxmox cluster running various VMs doing different things. Some of those VMs are my container systems.

    Besides, you can run containers directly on Proxmox itself.
