I gotcha, I misunderstood. Cheers!

Got it

What’s wrong with ZSH? I was using it for 5+ years before it became the default over bash, mainly because of the auto complete features, oh-my-zsh and later just plugins and powerlevel10k.

Don’t know if they continued to renew it, but macOS was officially certified as unix for a few years!

I wouldn’t work a windows exclusive job, it’s a deal breaker for me, so I’d definitely ask. I work in an all Mac shop that does enterprise cloud architecture.

Docker or Kubernetes work well on a cluster. Before containers this was a lot more work to set up, but these days you just need to image them all, put them on the network, and then use some kind of container orchestration to send them containers/pods.

Cause windows sucks and licenses?

Not a gentoo fan I take it

Alright now compile some drivers from source!

I did it once on the first intel MacBook. It compiled for like 14 hours.

It’s not as bad as all that. Start simple and small. Install Ubuntu Linux on an old computer and just play around. I think you’ll find it pretty similar to what you’re used to.

Once you feel like you can get around, then you can start toying with more advanced stuff like the command line. There’s no reason that you have to start there- you can ease in slow. Learn 1 command a day. Try to accomplish as task in linux that’s new for you. After you do a few things it’ll start to feel natural. Baby steps!

When you are a student and cannot obtain a reasonably priced copy of software- as a company I would see this as a sure fire way to onboard a new generation into my product which will then be paid for with company money later on.

If I have to do the work myself, I should be paid right?
