Anyway, if you're on the fence, I'd highly recommend checking out Linux in 2025.
If you're newish to the scene, check out one of the following distros:
- Ubuntu
- Linux Mint
- Pop!OS
- Fedora

No random freezes, weirdness or things behaving unusually. All the stuff I posted above just works without needing to download special drivers or hacking config files to get it to work. Maybe I'm jaded after trying for so many years haha, that I just expect stuff to not work.

I'm talking actual useful, meaningful stuff that the everyday user needs. Out of the box support for Bluetooth, webcam, microphone, headsets, yubikeys, mouse buttons, keyboards and all kinds of stuff. It just works. And it works really well.

I think advertisements intentionally have higher volume because they want to get your attention. So they have loud noises or yell at you etc.

Reasons I don't want traditional TV anymore.

If you need to release more often and with confidence, I hope you'll give RocketFlag a try!

If you use more than three projects, then it's only $5/month to get unlimited projects and priority help if you need it!

This is where RocketFlag comes in. Best of all, it's completely free to use. You can do everything I just mentioned in RocketFlag and you get unlimited requests to the service, unlimited flags and three projects to organise your flags.

Being able to release to a few users at a time, or a beta tester group or even just releasing to 1%, 50% or all of your customers can be really valuable to A-B test ideas.

Being able to turn features on or off after they've been deployed means that developers can continue working on other things, rather than waiting on other parts of the business to be ready, such as marketing or support.

Allowing engineering teams to continually merge to the trunk without the risk of breaking something for your customers reduces a lot of risk for an organisation.

One of the things I love doing in any team I've ever worked in, is enabling them to release code more often, and safer. There's lots of ways to do that. Such as testing, code linting, automated validations and so on. But sometimes you need more than that.

Thank you so much for your words! Stay tuned for later this week I'm launching my next one! 🚀
