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 knew a guy growing up who was engaged three times and after the engagement was broken off the girl got married right away to somebody else. We always joked he ought to market himself as the cure for the single lady... Date me and you'll be married shortly after (just not to me)!
Darrin, that sounds like a good idea. However, if I decide to stay, it'll be a sure sign that your company isn't going anywhere ;)

I interviewed at Slide years ago, and they made me a really solid offer. I decided to do something else mainly because I wanted to play around with TDD at a younger startup.
Ugh.
