lol funny guy, Window 10 is stable, rarely does it crash but you can always port to linux. Linux is very lightweight and does the job.

Charpell:

Yeah sure
Use udemy and Youtube, thats how i learnt

qtguru:


Personally this is what works for me, so it is not a definitive guide:

1. Always have a Side project something meaningful
2. Tilt towards platform driven development e.g Shopify, SalesForce, Moodle, Wix
3. Try and builld something to sell e.g Themes, Product, Mobile App
4. Join Upworks and based on skills requested, ramp up and do one of those task and put in GitHub and attach to your profile, so there is evidence
5. Join a community, e.g I belong to Processwire where I help and sometimes write guides for me, it has exposed me to opportunity
6. Read and follow developer trends e.g
7. Get a Domiciliary account and a USD Account Wise
8. Create a small company and try to make some mini products and sell. e.g WordPress is a good market if you can get over the code

All these involve alot of hard work and sometimes it might require collaboration, one person cannot do it alone , it is possible but better for developers to work together. My own opinion

Take with a pinch of salt but it is working for me, also decorate your LinkedIn. I am currently working on a side project I will create a thread here for it.

qtguru:


Amen o, because it is not an easy ride, but one code at a time. I want to create a thread that might excite you guys, but it might be boring but it is interesting to me, building your own Desktop UI for Linux with AwesomeWM and Lua

qtguru:


No but if the person can try Hubstaff, but it is a patience game.

Okay thanks, I'll download the file now. The SD should be blank by default before the Rufus installation?

leksdigital:
, kindly join the group

qtguru:


Yes , start with XUbuntu or Lubuntu they are both very lightweight, because sooner or later you will enter cloud hosting (For complex applications (Docker + PHP ), and Unix is the closest to the cloud

SageX1444:
The Lubuntu file I saw online is just 700mb while the Ubuntu is 2.6GB so which one is the right one?
I'm kinda confused.

qtguru:


No difference only the distro and additional softwares but they all use the same Linux kernel
Xubuntu = Xfce
Lubuntu = Lxde or lxqt
Kubuntu = Kde plasma
Ubuntu = unity/ gnome

SageX1444:
Okay. I'm sorry if my questions are becoming too much, which do you suggest I download and install?
