Portable monitors have been extremely convenient when I used to travel to a client site to program. A cheap one is worth getting.

Debian is 30 years old for a reason.

This is the answer.

I liked Ubuntu prior to snap. I’ve gone back to Debian and aside from a slightly complex install, I think that the distro is the epitome of stability and “just works”, especially for the normal software stuff I do. It’s 30 years old for a reason.

My experiences with arch are that it just broke if you looked at it funny and I like stuff that doesn’t require the constant tinkering. This is the same reason I don’t do smart tech and still own dumb and mechanical watches.

I feel like I’m in the minority in this community lately.
