Ya, it’s a work laptop so cut the disk in half and installed Pop!OS Linux on one half and kept Windows just in case work needed it.

Then I needed GUIX OS and installed it over the Windows partition, so it’s a dualboot Linux/Linux now.

Maybe I should put two Apple stickers on it.

Depends on your tolerance for stretched definitions, but it’s one of those covered litterboxes a door.

My wife uses mac and gets a lot of these stickers.

I put them on everything because I find it silly: my Thinkpad, my Nintendo Switch, the cat toilet…

It’s also valuable and round, so I consider pizza coin.

The stereotype is of the haughty Linux user, but fuck me all I ever see in these discussions is Windows users being belittling assholes.

See if you can trick Ross Scott into playing it. :) He has near infinite patience for forcing old games to run, and a skilled network to lean on.

At some jobs, I can get away with “Señor Developer” or “Computer Toucher”. Those are the nice ones.

Otherwise it tends to be “Senior Software Engineer” that carries the least constricting baggage.

I SWEAR big company middle managers hear “developer” and they can only ever see you as an infant who without guidance would just keep coding some absolute random shit and not think about product, market, customers, integration, or prioritize their own work.
