      PopOS is where it’s at

      I don't like it as much as Ubuntu. Less intuitive and efficient interface, not as good hardware compatibility. It's nice, but not Ubuntu or Fedora nice.

        Clean install of Fedorra 34 on my desktop after it released and man, the new gnome has had issues.

        I've had good success with Gnome 40, but I want to give KDE fair shake, and I figure new Fedora release is the right time.

          I like PopOS, but I always find myself wanting to come home to Fedora.

            yeah, it's not bad, it just doesn't feel as polished. It's very focused on people who only do one single task and that's great, but that's for my wife, not me.

                      Vendor pushed a software update to one of my customers last night. Got an email this morning that it failed and they needed me to finish it manually.
                      10 minutes later, site is up and running - and I haven't even finished my first cup of coffee yet.

                        Horrible day at the office- my manager and I have so little to do , that we have sat here and talked about how little we have to do - after I asked him if there was anything that needed to be worked on and if there was anyway I could get extra hours cause I'm not making very much on a straight 80 pay period.. needless to say I'm extremely bored.

                          There's always something that needs to be turned into a script.

                              it did not. They wouldnt return my call, and when they did they said they were going a different route.

                                I should probably learn how to script first ( i dont want to be a script kiddy)

                                  That's how you start. You go take something that exists and then tear it apart and understand it.

                                        Unless your job forbids you to do extra stuff (yeah, I've seen it), this is when you should be so excited that you get to pull out the certification book that you are working through, watch that YouTube educational series you haven't had time for, or as you mentioned, start scripting things. There's no limit to the things that you should be just waiting for a free moment to do that are huge for your career advancement, while also positive for your current job (so that you don't get in trouble.)

                                        That that Network+, then move on to more and more certs if you have time. Figure out PowerShell. Learn other cool tools. Write articles, watch videos, blog about your learning, etc.

                                        I used to work the most boring job in the universe. But the job was boring, I was not bored. I worked my tail off getting certified in anything and everything while doing that job (it was an overnight job, more security than anything else.) I built my career on the few years that I had there. I learned so much because it was "boring".

                                        Boring = opportunity for you to really do what matters most.
