   Pop_os! has done a lot for user experience (install and use), trending closer to macOS. I do see efforts being made towards capturing desktop users.

   Yes! I feel that too. Recently, I moved from the Bay Area to midwest city where family and some friends live, and have a 3 week old. I plan to build a homestead in the coming years, transitioning from an office job to working on the land --

   I'm a few months ahead of you -- I have a 3 week old daughter. I don't have much to add at the moment, except to expect a constant barrage of (often unsolicited) advice from well-meaning family and friends. I'm learning to ta

   I just bought Lenovo Thinkpad p52s. Bigger battery and all physical ports (HDMI, ethernet) including USB-C charging. I'm running Pop_OS (built on Ubuntu), and it's been my daily driver for 6 months. I was using macOS for 5 years (

    I'm not in this position, I've thought a fair bit about it since it's in the realm of possibility. This is what I'd like to believe I would do: Buy 30yr Treasury Bonds with enough of the cash to generate ~$200K/year

    Definitely. A visible difference. Tighter abs, more defined pecs and deltoids. Also a lot of soreness, but it comes/goes in cycles.

    I just got a Thinkpad P52S after using a 2012 Macbook for 7.5 years. Installed Pop_OS! on it. Despite the quirky name, it's the stablest, least needed configuration Ubuntu flavor, I've ever used and very similar to macOS and very

    anecdote on pushups: A group of friends and I just started a challenge to do 10K pushups in 1 year. Six months ago, I tried doing a 100 pushups in 1 hour. Couldn't do it. Got spaghetti arms, couldn't move them the next day. After

    Actually I haven't used plain Ubuntu since 14.04, so can't credibly say how close they are now. For 16-18 I used Lubuntu. This required a bunch of little customizations and 3rd party apps to get it close to OSX ( the standard for
