There's a piece on me in Dr. Dobb's Developer Diaries!
I decided to give Ubuntu 20.04 a try on my 2015 15" MacBook Pro. I didn't actually install it; I just live booted from a USB thumb drive which was enough to try out everything I wanted. In summary, it's not perfect, and issues with my camera would prevent me from switching, but given the right hardware, I think it's a really viable option. The first thing I wanted to try was what would happen if I plugged in a non-HiDPI screen given that my laptop has a HiDPI screen. Without sub-pixel scaling, whatever scale rate I picked for one screen would apply to the other. However, once I turned on sub-pixel scaling, I was able to pick different scale rates for the internal and external displays. That looked ok. I tried plugging in and unplugging multiple times, and it didn't crash. I doubt it'd work with my Thunderbolt display at work, but it worked fine for my HDMI displays at home. I even plugged it into my TV, and it stuck to the 100% scaling I picked for the othe

At my new company I need to unittest everything and this is new for me. I was doing wild west code before :)
Maybe a zsh how to for the python inclined would be sweet as well! Keep up the good work.
Thanks ;)

Well, Titus is the expert there, not me. All I have to offer is this:

Well, if you just want a "Pythonic" shell, ipython can be used as a UNIX shell as well. I like zsh because it's a "tricked out" version of Bash.
Most of what I know about zsh I learned from:
http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Intro/intro_toc.html
My favorite features are:
* Recursive star: gvim **/*.py
* Really smart tab completion.
* Smart, right-side prompts: RPROMPT='(%~)'
