Two screens. One is dedicated to the IDE, the other is everything else: browser, mail and chat clients, docs, maybe another IDE with a REPL to play with stuff.
I find I need a large code window. I know devs that use a 4K monitor the same way, but I don't have one.

A 1980 MGB.

The fuel gauge was only loosely related to the fuel level, I ran out repeatedly before learning to use the odometer instead.
The dashboard switches would sometimes disintegrate, springs fly out, when you flipped them.
The electric radiator fan was controlled by a relay that melted if the fan ran too much, and the engine would overheat. I lived in Arizona at the time.
The brake system totally failed in traffic and I had to stop from 40 MPH using the emergency brake. I think that was the most scared I have ever been in a car.
The supposed catalytic converter was an empty shell (I bought the car used, I did not do this) so once a year I would take it to the mechanic, who would tune it to pass emissions, get it tested, and immediately take it back to the mechanic to make it drivable again. The statute of limitations has run out so I can admit that.
Finally, the water pump failed in an incontinent way when I tried to sell it, the buyer had second thoughts after that and I had to fix it and start over selling.
It was cute, cheap, and drove well, but a creation of Hell.

I use MX, and it's very good, but technically it's based on Debian.

One can hope for a barroom free for all, much damage all around.

I went on a vacation trip last week. We took the ferry fron Connecticut to Long Island, rode our bikes from Orient Point to the Hamptons, took the train to New York City, hung out in Brooklyn for 4 days. No car the whole way. It was awesome. Brooklyn is super cool, biking in NYC is the best way to enjoy the city. I am full of ideas for the next trip.

I did. It was perfectly fine, got a new condition, slightly older model phone for about half price. Unlocked.

Hario Skerton, use one every day.

You can, BTW, enable systemd on MX, no problems. I do. It's a good distro besides that.

One can only hope for a long and brutal fight, much damage. Mutual annihilation would be great. Pass the popcorn.
