My post was more “moving from Apple to Linux” including hardware. but since you’ve asked :)
Of course, I could get Ubuntu running on a MacBook Pro 13 Retina 2013, but it was far from perfect. The fonts were extremely small, the trackpad was quite “off” (to say the least), the Wifi didn’t work as expected (it lost connection every now and then), graphic card wasn’t properly supported, etc. If I want to run a more “exotic”
Honestly, I don’t have any of those issues you describe/experienced. The recent Linux distro of Ubuntu and Fedora come with a lot of those hardware issues fixed.
Waking from sleep, takes literally 1 second, i.e when I open the laptop screen the login screen of Ubuntu already shows up.
Battery runs for 6h–8h without any issues.
WiFi an issue? Yeah, maybe 2 years ago, but since then, everything just runs.
I’ve tested this now on
The beauty of today’s hardware and software is that you can take “little” machines and turn them into fully working desktops. You gotta love this stuff :)
Yeah, I’ve tried for years to get Linux running on Apple hardware. It sort of works, but not everything. Overall the whole experience was/is kinda frustrating. Apple is even worse when it comes to firmware than the whole UEFI thingy. At least, UEFI is not fully controlled my Microsoft and
The Xps13 has a beautiful screen (very close to a Retina). Also the T460s screen is quite good. Depending on the distribution your text will already look good (Ubuntu does it out of the box).
Never had an issue with the trackpad either. This might very well come down to the Linux distro you were using. Even my dev who runs Arch Linux on the Xps13 has no problem with the screen and trackpad.
I also think getting the right
I’ve been trying for years to replace my Mac centric development work-flow with Linux. I’ve written before that I switched to a Dell Xps13 in order to use Linux full time. However, after three months, I gave the Xps13 to one of my developers (he is loving it and runs Arch Linux) and I went with a Macbook 12" (which is surprisingly fast).
In any case, the longing of moving to Linux Desktop never stopped. I just
We know that many of our customers use Helpmonks on their mobile devices. While we do not have a native application yet (we are planning to release something in 2017) we just enhanced our current responsive design. So much so, that the responsive mobile experience is on par with the desktop.
While our previous responsive mobile experience was already enhanced we now made it possible that you can now use every aspect of Helpmonks with the responsive mobile design, i.
In general, auto-replies are a good thing, as it can let a sender know if you are out-of-the-office. Auto-replies for a shared mailbox are also a good thing, in that they help to guide users to self-help materials or simply to let them know when they can expect an answer.
However, auto-replies turn into a nightmare if the sender has an auto reply himself which replies to every incoming message. Usually, mail-servers
