Machine is a HP ENVY x360 Convertible 15-eu1xxx with the touch screen. Ryzen 7 5825U, touch screen 16gb RAM.

Top recommendation of within one hour of me posting this decides what distro I install. Please not Hannah Montana linux or even worse, Arch.

I leave the decision up to you.

Edit:

The winner was linux mint. I've downloaded the ISO and am installing now. I hope my boss doesn't get pissed.

Why would your boss get pissed? Does he care about the O.S people are using?

Most corporate environments would not be ok with you randomly deciding to replace the OS, yes.

Go to the deep end with NixOS!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (4 children)

I took a look at NixOS. Am I correct in the assumption that I'd need to take a bachelor's degree to actually get how to use that thing and I'm shit outta luck because I'm an embedded programmer?

add channel nonguix install firefox

since when is "adding a channel" not part of the "stock" system? if that were so nothing would ever be part of debian based stock systems

my point being: you can and probably should try to bring it into your workplace

Distrobox with Arch for proprietary apps?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Makes about as much sense as buying a mac with apple silicon to develop x86 linux apps or windows to develop linux apps.

Can’t beleive that Uwuntu didn’t come up…

People nowadays have no taste

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Dammit, too late to suggest Gentoo

Mint is a great option, if your boss is mad then they lack good taste.
