Guess code review and troubleshooting. Not really sure, I have only really used it for code templates and ideas for troubleshooting to look into.

The most use I found is rewriting documents in a specific way. But only after I write it first. Then go back and forth. Just to make tone consistent.

I know not all companies may let you use it but I found Logseq to be quite useful for this. No real organizing, just write in the daily notes and search later.

It uses links to connect notes together, as long as there are common words. Obsidian is similar but logseq emphasizes daily notes more.

Keep notes on your work.

  1. Its proof of the work you have done
  2. A lot of people forget things, including yourself.
  3. It helps you reflect back. Helps with projects that are spaced apart as well.

Sounds good. Thanks for the input.

Is it worth nuking my PopOS to try CachyOS?

I like the stability of Ubuntu and a lot of projects usually have deb files officially, like Signal. However, my start up time on Pop is oddly long and have Bluetooth issues (which is fine as I dont use it very often).

I was on Bazzite for a bit. It was fine but the immutability was a bit annoying for me when editing files. Then on Nobara which was also fine but plasma crashed on me several times which caused me to repair it each time in order for it to work again.

Prefer metric. So much easier conversions. However, it is hard for me to think long distances and weight in terms of metric, on the fly, and ambient temperature.

Also a lot of tools are still in "standard" so have no choice but to use it.

The way apple is now, you would only be able to print (wirelessly) through Apple products. And probably also DRM ink cartridges on a "security" basis.

Old Apple is not the same as current Apple.

Like others have said, I don't think its needed to get a job but it does help in two ways:

  1. More passive. It let's you expand your resume/CV to give more detail etc since you aren't restricted on size/length. This can also be done with a personal website

  2. More active. It can help you network which is honestly the biggest advantage to getting a job, but also the most work.

I personally do not use it like social media. I don't see the point of posts, more just a messaging service if and when I need it.

Can also check out Nextcloud. Yes, its more overkill than just calendar and contact sync but its not that hard to set up and self-host. It has an interface for you to fix your calendar and contacts graphically and works well with DAVx5, if on Android. Believe you can just add the CalDav and CardDav for iOS, but have not tried it personally.

I think you'll be OK but there will be a slightly learning curve since it is a different OS. As for documents make sure they work well with either LibreOffice or OnlyOffice, which should be available on other OSes. There are also always online office suites if needed.

If you have a spare flash drive, you can also test out Linux distros (flavors) before installing them in a live mode, like a demo.

Best of luck.

Mac or Linux, something like Mint, Zorin, or PopOS.

Mac for the better ingregration with more popular apps. Other than that, Linux, but test it out first since not all hardware works correctly. I had good luck with hardware on all that I have tried so far.

To the Alexa interface?

Closest I found is home assistant voice. This is a link to the hardware but it links the software too Home Assistant Voice
