Shmurdered Murdered....

Partner and I had just finished school and gotten really good paying jobs, we saved enough money to buy a house and new car and truck. I bought myself a new used truck to haul materials and products when fixing up the new house! 🙏

When I lived in the u.s. and bought my first home, I had similar concerns as you as we were about to buy a lot of high end products to furnish our new home (a new car, dishwasher, vacuum, etc..).

We bought a subscription to "consumer reports" (https://www.consumerreports.org/). They test all types of products and give detailed reports on each product. They also listed some products as "do not buy" for whatever flaws a product may have - this convinced me further as there didn't seem to be any partiality. We ended up making many purchases, all price ranges up to the price of a new car, based on their recommendations and don't remember having any post purchase issues.

I don't know if this can be accessed from your region nor if it covers any brands local to Australia, but it did cover a lot of imported products to the u.s. from Europe and Asia - hopefully this may help you as well.

Thanks for the review. Added to 'to Read's list.

"Two birds with one stone"...

me...

Our two cats are named Peter and Paul. We intend on getting a female tabby and naming her Mary.

Your cute puppy looks like a Marissa. I love popular human names for pets!

What about his background do you find concerning?

ooo, I went to the Framework website. When I get a some 'disposable' cash, I will get a framework lappy.

Debian and Fedora, Debian and Fedora. That is a lot of the recommendations I've gotten.

Thank you for the reply. Many moons ago I tried to spin up a Arch lappy, but failed. I haven't tried since (complaints about no free time and such), but I kinda took that fail that I always wanted to go back and try again!

Thank you for the rec. I will have to try nix when i get some time.

Yeah, Atomic is looking to be my next spin with a thinkpad lappy i have.

I have a fondness for Mint. I was able to build a desktop and a laptop with Mint for my parents. They've been using them for years now, at least over 5. It just works for them.

I was mostly using Fedora desktop with CentOS servers many years ago. Though, will soon spin up Fedora again.

I feel like you are being a little snarky, but well given because of my post. I will admit I had to spin up Win 10 to finish up some projects as I have so little free time lately.

Super appreciate the reply, d3Xt3r!

I've been screwed by nVidia cards before. I knew that but still bought the System 76 laptop... I have some decent laptops from previous jobs, I have a pretty beefy ThinkPad P52 that I will spin up Bluefin once I get a little freetime.

Thanks for the in depth response.

I've wanted to like Pop!. I think I tried it too early, being with it for years now. I will take a look again when Cosmic comes out.

Seems to be the consensus - Fedora with Docker.

Sorry, I should have elaborated when asking about 'corporate users'. I was thinking what does Red Hat or Ubuntu or System 76 employees use? and I thought that was a 'standard' that I just didn't know about that I would adopt.

As for companies asking to use your own pc - I've run into it a couple of times now since working from home/remote, that companies will ask you to sign in to some cloud apps to start onboarding before they send you hardware. Also, contracting / small gigs on the side!
