One way or another, the network automation book I’m writing with Jason Edelman and Matt Oswalt is getting finished in 2017. Stretch goal: publish 12 episodes in 2017.).

This post is part of a series of posts sharing other users’ stories about their migration to Linux as their primary desktop OS. As I mentioned in part 1 of the series , there seemed to be quite a bit of pent-up interest in using Linux as your primary desktop OS. Q: Why did you switch to Linux? is awesome).

In this post, I’ll provide my feedback, and provide some information on how well the keyboard works with both Linux and macOS. This was using macOS, but the Mac Pro also dual-booted Linux, so I rebooted into Linux and found that the K860 with the Logitech-supplied USB receiver continued to work without any issues.

Welcome to Technology Short Take #76, the first Technology Short Take of 2017. Servers/Hardware. Stay tuned for a quick review of the hardware once it arrives. Although Rowan doesn’t specifically mention it, this command relies on tools like tr , sort , and uniq , so I’m guessing it will only work on OS X/Linux/*BSD systems.

The great thing about my job is that I get to work across so many areas — I’ve covered film festivals, virtual reality hardware, net neutrality and copyright, speech moderation, obsolete tech, and too many random gadgets to count. Turns out Chrome OS is almost shockingly convenient, but I still want actual control over my hardware.

The popularity of Java decreased by about 6,000 jobs in 2018 compared to 2017, but it is still very well established. Java is more than 20 years old; it is used by millions of developers and on billions of devices around the world, and can be run on any hardware and operating system through the Java virtual machine.

While Apple’s approach toward gaming apps may have made sense in a world where all games must be downloaded and run locally on hardware, cloud gaming is beginning to upend that arrangement in a way that could massively alter the video game industry, similar to how streaming changed Hollywood filmmaking and television forever.

Readers who have followed me for more than a couple years know that I migrated away from macOS for about 9 months in 2017 (see here for a wrap-up of that effort), then again in 2018 when I joined Heptio (some details are available in this update ). This post contains links to all the posts I wrote about my Linux migration.).

Linux, of course, is yet more open. But the whole point of running a machine with Windows, macOS, or Linux is to be able to do things and run apps that simply don’t work on ChromeOS or iPadOS. And app makers have been, well, a little greedy when it comes to taking advantage of that openness. I’m guilty of it!
