Originally posted by bavay View PostSo either we target relatively "old" systems, so our stuff works everywhere or people just walk away and use something else (or nothing at all).
btw, thanks to recent development, now all what is needed from system is non-prehistoric kernel, supporting containerization, all your software can be shipped in container

Originally posted by lucrus View Post- Ubuntu 18.04. Please. Any developer out there will replace that. IF a developer needs ANYTHING AT ALL operating system wise, that's a valid Windows license and a penguin on the box, just to be sure the laptop can run linux. The words "Ubuntu" and "Developer" usually do not play well together. The words "Outdated" and "Developer" are not even both included in the same vocabulary of any language.

Because you know, devs are very light in battery drain, they just browse the net... just in case any of them happen to use IDEs, compilers, emulators and the like, they can always resort to handy external powerbanks. They only had to sell a kidney to buy that ultrabook after all.

I'll trust Dell's sales data more since it actually seems to match what I want anyway.
