My main three asks for Ubuntu to replace my mac is -

1. Alternative to magnet or any window management systems that does not require elaborate tmux setup.

2. More adoption of snapstore and auto-updates.

3. Comparable performance and battery life to today's arm laptops.


> 1. Alternative to magnet or any window management systems that does not require elaborate tmux setup.

Try Pop_Os or install Gnome extention on you're current install (https://support.system76.com/articles/pop-shell/)

> 2. More adoption of snapstore and auto-updates.

Flatpak is what you're looking for.

> 3. Comparable performance and battery life to today's arm laptops.

While I agree with this one, I think this is more on the chip and hardware manufacturers.


At least for the first request, Pop OS is a fantastic replacement for the Mac. It the system 76 variant and is based on Ubuntu. I switched last year and have been blown away at how far desktop Linux has come

I use it full time for work and home. Chrome, VS Code and Steam all work flawlessly. It's also nice to be able to develop software in containers without needing any VM layer.


Reminds of me Aadhaar in India.


That's why SLAs exist?


Use discord?


Do college discord servers usually enforce ID? i.e. how would they know this isn't yet another student? Who organizes it like that? Presumably a cheating discord is under the radar and probably not full of people who can/care to properly enforce ID on everyone who joins for this particular class's cheat room.


Are product managers replacing the engineers as the core line role these days?

Product managers talk to the CEOs more than software engineers do.


Way better search (or is it content?) on certain keywords. Feels like all the noise in `Latest Tweets` is filtered away.


are google cloud TPUs available in mumbai region?


Can you link any resources? SRE post-mortem analysis by Google is a resource I have found to conduct a blameless post-incident review.


I don't have any resources, its more just something I monitor for when I speak or message people.


sri lanka went only-organic for their agricultural produce. look what happened to their yield...

When govt bans, its the people who pay the price.


It's inapplicable. Sri Lanka did this, stupidly, overnight, thus pissing off many farmers and leaving the rest unprepared. Those sorts of policies need to be applied gradually to allow people to adapt.


Ah, I wanted to hear more of adventures of Les and Bobby.
