French guy here. There is a proverb in France that says that to live a happy life, you'd better keep a low profile (not literal translation which would more be to live a happy life, live hidden) "vivons heureux, vivons cachés&quot

Here are the issues that I still have (other than that it seems smoother): - I could not make copy/paste work from a Wayland host to Wayland guest in a Qemu/KVM VM. It seems that the guest utilities like spice vagent only work for

I second that. I own a XPS 13 9380, running archlinux and it is pretty much the only thing I am missing from Windows. I bought the Windows XPS 13 version, just in case I had issues with Linux. There are currently no drivers for the Goodix

I didn't have any issue with Wifi and sleep on my home Dell XPS 13 9380 running Arch. As for the battery, well I followed the arch wiki recommendations (add a kernel startup parameter, and use tlp) and it is ok now but it does not just

For me daily scrum meetings were valuable when the team remains small and work on related stuff in a fast pace. But for the last few years, it has not been the case for me. Standups have been organized for managers and scrum masters so that

For me, it would be the phone replacing my laptop and tablet with docking stations or foldable screens and adaptative OS (like Samsung Dex). Phones are powerful enough to do that. I also imagined a portable docking station with just a scree

I have been running Arch (Gnome/Wayland) on a Dell XPS13 9380 for more than 6 months now without any issue except the fingerprint reader not being recognized. The Arch wiki page for the 9370 really helped, especially since initially th

Event if you think the protests were justified and French will benefit from it, in the short term it hurt Paris (many destructions to street furniture, monuments, banks, restaurant, shops) and affected negatively the life of the Parisians

Yes for devs switching to Linux is a good option. My home laptop is a Dell XPS 13 9380 running Linux (arch). I use it for browsing, doing some light development and occasionally video/photo editing. So far I am very happy with it excep

Train infrastructure in France is not premium anymore, like our health system. Sure if you compare to North America like Canada, it is still better. I took the Via rail train in Canada last year from Toronto to Montreal, seats were spaciou

I lived in Paris 9 years from 2000 to 2009, then lived abroad and I currently live in the south of France. I have to admit that when I went back to Paris 2015, the one thing that struck me was the dirt on the buildings like "le Louvres

I see that some readers are mocking your analogy about NodeJs being the new Java but that has been case in my company. A few years ago we moved some backend projects from in house operated JavaEE application servers (Weblogic mostly) to clo

What is depressing is seeing French people think the situation would be better with Mélenchon who has great admiration for Chavez and Maduro. France has a huge debt. This guy's policy would worsen the situation very quickly. France is
