Hello everyone... Is anyone here prepared to offer an opinion on a laptop that is rock solid for compatibility with Arch or Debian (Arch preferred) and is not to heavy / brickish that is also reasonably powerful? I need a new, reliable work machine and cannot afford to replace my MacBook Pro atm.
maleghast: the new brand new xps-13s at least work with ubuntu. The Lenovo Carbon X1s seem pretty popular too
there were problems with the last generation xps-13s, but I think they are over them now (but I've not heard except from Dell on that)
didn't @agile_geek have some serious dell/linux issues @otfrom ?
mccraigmccraig: that was with the previous generation. Though he had some customer service problems when trying to return it that didn't make him want to go back
Hello @otfrom and @mccraigmccraig 😀
A word of warning on the Dell XPS 13 -- if you want to put linux on it, make sure you get the "Developer Edition"
A handful authors are a lot better than the rest at docs (e.g. Gonzales, snoyberg, O’Sullivan). But many others are very spartan.
i’m doing a toy exercise, but got derailed trying to make my dev flow as nice as the one from the clojure program i’m porting
and ended up down a rabbithole where I’m trying to parse a source file into an AST
and now i can’t seem to stop myself delving deeper, its a fun but ultimately silly yak shave
yeah I always get distracted trying to make stuff more idiomatic in haskell rather than getting on with the actual task
in this particular case I wanted to write some unit tests alongside the code itself
@meshy: Thanks for the heads up - after @otfrom and @mccraigmccraig offered me advice earlier, I priced up the possibilities and decided that I am better off trying to limp along with my dying MBP only at home and only for an hour or so a day max and using the loan-er from work (Dell notebook / tablet convertor from the recent Latitude range) under Ubuntu for work until I can afford a new one. Buying an only slightly cheaper PC that will have no re-sale value the minute I take it out of the box is not going to help me any… 😞
