@matigo I had always erred on the side of conservatism where distros are concerned since we had so many small servers and workstations out there onsite. Only reason I stuck it out with RedHat. We had an Ubuntu experiment that was less than satisfactory. Customers hated it. But…since I have all but phased that sort of thing out, it is no longer an issue.
By the time all is said and done, you'll be able to run our stuff on a Chromebook if you so choose. I like the thoughts of that.
Watching a Twit.Tv thing for the first time in years. Rather surprised it is still around.

@matigo Downloaded the 20.04 ISO and moved it to a USB stick last night while doing laundry. I have a i7 box here I used as a World of Warcraft server and a VirtualBox VM host for legacy platforms. I now have Docker-ish plans for it.
I'd have stuck with Enterprise Linux but they are simply too far behind.
I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m going to have to contend with ARM sooner than expected. You can just feel a big shift coming within the next couple of years
There was a time I kept on top of programming languages. Treated them like Pokemon. "Collect them all".
Now I look at stuff like Rust, Scalia and Haskell and wonder what the point even is.
