A distro is essentially the package manager, defaults, and release schedule. Sure, some have new ideas (like the immutable ones), but that's the only difference for most of them.
You need to learn Linux properly, then it won't matter what distro you're using.
If your goal is to learn about Linux, a single manual arch install will teach you more than going through a 100 near identical wizards. And that's before going into actually useful resources like those that prepare you for Linux cert exams.
If your goal is to compare distros, a week is not nearly enough time.
So hop between headless Debian and headless Ubuntu, while waving at passing Alpine and RHEL variants?
You're trying to track the family tree of an incestuous sex addict who's willing to turn into a variety of animals to get some poon. Her father might be Timmy the cabbage salesman who's mom was banged by an electric walrus.
Doom Emacs and lazyvim nvim.
Don't know about helix, and don't really care.
Modal is incomparably more comfortable, that's the main benefit.
The problem that I have is that learning new editing keybindings would probably take me a month of time, before I get to the same amount of productivity
Do you imagine vi-based editors don't let you use your mouse or what? Go through vim-tutor, learn the basic shortcuts you need, and you're back to your old productivity in a few days. You don't need to learn vi" to select a string, you can just use your mouse.
No offense to you or your habits, but C-arrow is an idiotic movement scheme. If you have to leave the home row to move around the text, you fucked up.
Just go through vim tutor...
I'm not sure what you use by workspaces, I haven't touched windows in a while.
Wouldn't a bastion with SSO do the same thing? In both cases OP needs to pass AWS based security checks in order to ssh from the bastion instance. And both options can be locked down by enterprise standards.
Maybe ask them to provide you with a Linux cli only bastion? Then you've got a lot of options, it costs almost nothing, and it's even better security wise.
My plan is to find a solution that complies with their security standards (i.e. through AWS's authentication spec)
I think SSO is your best bet, if you use identity center.
It's aliens all along
Maybe ask your work before you get fired?
Someone didn't measure for this one.
I think the biggest issue with the expression is that you turned him completely en face and tilted the head down. Just compare the proportions of nose-to-chin and forehead in the picture and painting. That's why he went from chill to "paint my face one more time motherfucker!!!"
Meanwhile Poland.
What is the gist of a distro?
