    Not the only option but the one that historically gave me the best support, usually when my Apple laptop has an issue it is a couple of days out and it will come back as new. The articule talks about everything that is not a pixel phone, that includes the pixel book that cannot be fixed , and in my case the display failed, I was able to boot with an external monitor. I was out of warranty, so google told me to pay to replace, almost 60 or 70 percent of what it cost. I declined and vowed to never buy another google hardware again.












  • I don’t have a normal desktop flow, most of the time I’m just rdp’ing to Linux from other different machines/tablets. I used to have a native Ubuntu install with a lot of dockers and my programming job. Now I have a vm for the dockers, and a vm for work. But I’ve notice that I still like to distrohop and I’m continuously just downloading new distros to test. Just the vm is more convenient, and after some time you forgot they are virtual because everything works.

    I recently got a workstation class desktop for my home server and I had so many issues with Debian that I have to search an alternative, Ubuntu supported the hardware natively and I even got a firmware update. I think the hate is really unfounded. Of course there is corporate decisions, but so far it has never get in my way. I have it with a lot of docker containers and a lot hardware integrations. Even the secure boot with nvdia card is easy. I only installed virt-manager via snap, the other things were directly with apt. I did enable the live patch and that’s a nice addition to don’t need to restart a lot.

    I think you should give it a try, so far it has worked for me.
