Hello fellow DevRanters!
So the guy I just interviewed had a Linux laptop with a cool deskt- wait.. oh. Hi bitsnipy
I was giving an interview this other day and I was sharing my screen with the interviewer.
Interviewer π¦: Is this linux you are using?
Me π : Ah yes. Since this is a coding round I am not comfortable on windows for coding.
Interviewer π³: And this is your personal laptop?
Me π: Yes, since the only use of windows is primarily to play games and the games I play are usually supported on linux, I dont see any reason why my daily driver should be anything other than linux.
Interviewer π―: What distro is this?? Looks cool.
Me π: Its Ubuntu with KDE Plasma. There are some really cool things in here which actually make my life quite easier.
Interviewer βΊοΈ: I must check this out today itself. Lets start with the interview then.
Me π: *Blushing in my mind
And this is how you score some instant brownie points in an interview. Actually if truth be told, that laptop was actually my work laptop and my personal laptop has windows on it because nvidia and Assassin's Creed.
