🔗 What I learned from taking a train across the US
Here’s how US train travel went from excellent to mediocre.
Seems like a blast from LA to NYC by train. -
🔗 I traded in my MacBook and now I’m a desktop convert
But once the puzzle of ports and peripherals was mostly sorted out, I appreciated how intentional desktop life is. Laptops are great, but their portability made it hard for me to separate work from home.

This is a bit of old news for someone who's been following this since the original Linux powering Munich experiments in the early 2000's.
While native apps are arguably better for data entry heavy apps and everything's a web app these days, that everything's a web app today makes it easier for end users to run any OS. That said, it also means you can no longer do whatever you want with the "documents" produced by the app because they live in a database in their data center.
