  • I’m really impressed by the fact that it’s so difficult to find something I miss even if I really try hard.

    I’d say I miss being able to do a backup of my work iPhone with iTunes and not some obscure command line tool. But that’s about it and I’m not even sure I really need it since my company is trying to block reinstalling from a backup for safety reasons probably.

    Linux has really become something that everyone can use day to day provided they have the right hardware and not something like my Surface Go where the bluetooth comes and goes.


  • I’m not an expert of virtualization but I’ve had a few VM in Gnome Boxes.

    I use Fedora Workstation and I love Gnome and the way you switch between workspaces instead of having multiple windows in one workspace like you do on Windows.

    I don’t know if I would really have discovered the Gnome workflow if I only had it installed in a VM. When doing the three fingers touchpad gesture in VM, it would bring me back to my normal Gnome installation, so I never really got to try KDE for real.

    I guess if I really wanted to discover a distribution or a different desktop environment, it would be better to really commit as a VM just gives you a good sample.

    I might be wrong as maybe some people know how to really isolate the VM from the real machine though…
