Been working 12+ years (10yrs in current role). I never had a technical interview and my initial interview was essentially a handshake at a job fair.

Needs brainless application management.

Windows is basically: download the installer, run it, and boom you’re good to go.

Linux distros typically have 2-3 different ways to install applications and multiple mechanisms for updating/maintaining, where most of the good ones are non graphical. It’s confusing for even experienced users let alone someone who doesn’t know what a “package” is.

Say I want to uninstall something, I need to know how it was installed (apt? Snap? Flatpak? Manual build from source?) in order to do so. On windows, they have a registration scheme where installers log to a common OS level application management on what to run to uninstall.

I’m the opposite. Bagels shouldn’t be toasted and definitely not used for a sandwich. Even breakfast sandwiches. Cream cheese or butter, maybe some lox, but an egg and cheese should go on a roll or the severely underrated English muffin. Gets in the way of a good bagel

I’d argue that a custom board is more wasteful since they are single use. Using a cheapo COTS processor that drives a single display and runs Linux is reusable in the long run.

Birch Beer. Not all the time but when I crave it, it hits the spot.

I don’t care which one you use, just don’t change it once it’s established. So many legacy Yocto projects got broken cause open source libraries changed their branch names.

Same. Lemme guess, you write left handed?
