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

I wish it had been 25 instead of 50, but it was kind of fun anyway. I wonder what language I didn't recognize? Some of them were questionable.
It tells you at the end what you knew and didn't know.

Yeah, agreed. One of the questions I missed showed a piece of SQL, and two of the answers were from different SQL books.
Is PL/SQL really SQL? Not by any standard I know of (but I put it there anyway). Isn't XSLT valid XML? would you have gotten it correct if you had marked it that way? Are shell commands code (language not listed) or not code?
If I recall correctly, it tells you what questions you got wrong, but not what bonus point questions you got wrong.
