Arch Linux question

Hello guys, me again, I’m having some troubles trying to install the Arch Linux ISO on my thinkpad E480. Steps that I already did: 1. Downloaded the last version on this link https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/iso/2024.12.01/archlinux-x86_64.iso 2. Using Rufus to build the ISO on a 16GB USB 3. Booting the laptop in the Bios mode with the F12 on the keyboard 4. Whey I select my USB on the boot mode, it doesn’t work Follow the evidence Some suggestion to solve this problem? I already tried using another USB and the torrent ISO, the error persist

@Sergio Sebastian Gimenez Oviedo I usually used Etcher https://etcher.balena.io/ when I flash an ISO to a USB. I never had an issue. You may want to give this a try. Good luck.

Azure 204 Associate Developer exam

This was what I was struggling with before. I started with AWS because my training started with AWS. I’m a .NET developer so I kept coming to a dead end. The Visual Studio AWS tools weren’t working for me and I couldn’t find any good tutorials… so I switched to Azure. I’m enjoying it A LOT more. Azure and .NET of course go together well. I’m studying for the 204 associate developer exam. If anyone else is studying for 204 I would like to hear about your training approach!! Please share. Thanks so much

@Hristiyan Dudev I think Microsoft Learn has many resources, learning paths for their different certifications. I used their documentations for AZ-900 and it was good. One bonus of using Microsoft Learn is that you can earn badges that you can share on social platforms such as LinkedIn or X for your online presence. I will definitively use their learning path for AZ-104 certification.

About Linux Distribution Hopping

If you are new the Linux, be careful about distribution hopping. Don't get me wrong, when you start on your learning journey with Linux, it is perfectly fine to install a few distributions so that you can get good at it and maybe learn about different packaging managers. It is part of the learning experience. However, it comes a time where you need to stay with one distro and start using it as your daily driver so you will learn how to maintain it and how to get "things done" using your Linux distro as you would with MacOS or Windows.

Please, let me add this comment to my own post. When it comes to Linux distributions, you have these "families" based on their package managers: - Ubuntu (debian based - apt-get) - Fedora ( Red Hat - dnf ) - ArcoLinux (Arch - pacman). This is far from being an exhaustive list since there are hundreds of Linux distributions. IMHO, ArcoLinux is a gentle introduction to Arch. Explore, find the distribution that fits your needs and enjoy the process of learning.

I got a raise.. 💸

Because I asked for one. When my company demanded more responsibilites of me that I realized did not align with my current job description, I simply asked the following. "I'd like my salary to be re-evaluated taking the new (role and/or) responsibilites into account." And I got a 10% raise. No, I would not have gotten it if I didn't ask for it - but it was fair of them adhere to my request. You don't have to wait till your yearly review or whatever to ask this. Just strike when the iron is hot and you're the one holding the hammer. All part of the Soft Skills training in KubeCraft.

@Alexey Skosyrskiy Now a day, many Linux distribution works without issues on most hardware. Ubuntu minimal should work fine on your mini pc. The thing to keep in mind is that you may need to install more software that you will need down the line. On my mini PC, I run Fedora Workstation (Gnome edition) and it just works. This last weekend, I install Rancher Desktop (AppImage) on it to run Kuberbetes. I had no issues.
