What's your best Linux OS?

 One of the most controversial questions you could ask a Linux enthusiast is what is his/her favourite Linux OS is?

This is just like that question you know, you know the one.
What came first the chicken or the egg?

Everyone has their reasons and proof to show why their Linux OS is better than yours. But the truth is there is no such thing as the best Linux OS out there.
You see I am not a person to settle this issue once and for all. But in my experience, it solely depends on what you want to achieve with the OS in hand.
I have used OpenSUSE, Ubuntu and its many variants, Linux Mint, Manjaro, Fedora, Pop OS, Elementary OS, Zorin etc. Till now I have never met my "Soul OS". Now I know if you are a Linux user, you are going to use you never used Arch btw. I know, I tried that's as well, but when compared to other distro's Arch won't be the same for me for you, that's the beauty of Arch. And that may bring a new set of controversies to the table as well.
In my defence, I never got to the only distro till now, I have used OpenSUSE but stuck with wifi driver problems that took more than a day from my life during my journey to be a monomaniac on the same topic. I switched to Ubuntu but it was not fun, everything worked as it should be, and I didn't like that part of my journey. Manjaro was a niche OS, and I had issues while upgrading various packages which I installed. Zorin and Elementary were used on my office hardware, and Arch oh I don't want to talk about it...

All I am saying is that of every Linux OS that you could see out there one of them is your daily driver or you could just try each one of them and find your "Soul mate" (but it could take ever and you won't find a perfect partner).
Distrowatch.com is a nice place to start and you will be surprised about the number of Linux OS over there.
Happy Linuxing...

AI. Will it replace us or...?

AI!! The buzzword is too hot in the market nowadays. Do you have a technical product or an idea? If it doesn't have AI in it, then chances are it's not going to be sold like hot cakes. That is how things have changed lately. It is no wonder why me and my colleagues at Gelato want to see what AI can do in a niche department like customer support and service. And that is exactly what we did. For a company like Gelato, which is in the market for production-on-demand, there are a lot of customer questions you need to answer. It can be related to products, queries about shipping and pricing, and so on and so forth. Thus, our customer support team is always happy to help with these recurring questions. Let's take one example. A customer asked us, "Do you ship to Norway?" Now that is an easy question to answer if you have the knowledge written somewhere where you could refer to it and say, "Yes! As a matter of fact, we do." Following the same thread, the next q...

Replication and transactional guarantee in MongoDB

One of the projects I am working on is using MongoDB as the database solution. And the project makes use of the nifty ORM mongoose to do the heavy lifting of data orchestration. It was high time I implemented transactions to the equation but because of a time crunch I was not able to start with one and the situation merely demands it at times. But come with an architectural change and the way the project was heading it was high time I implemented transactions by using MongoDB. According to MongoDB documentation, transactions are used when the situation requires, “atomicity of reads and writes to multiple documents (in single or multiple collections)”. MongoDB supports multi-document transactions. With distributed transactions, transactions can be used across multiple operations, collections, databases, documents, and shards. Now the piece of code to implement the same was pretty straightforward. // For a replica set, include the replica set name and a seedlist of the members in the URI...

My experience with the Golden signals

In June 2022, I embarked on a quest for a new job opportunity. Fortunately, this endeavor began just before the global job market experienced a significant downturn. I must admit, I faced my fair share of rejections during this period, but I also had an epiphany. It became evident that there was so much more to learn and understand in the world of technology. Coming from a small service-based company, I had encountered limitations in terms of how much I could learn on the job. However, during interviews and conversations with senior developers, I gained valuable insights into the architectural and technical decisions made by teams in various companies. One such company that left a lasting impression on me was Delivery Hero. Their technical blog posts provided a wealth of information, especially for someone like me, transitioning from a smaller company where projects had minimal daily active users compared to the scale of Delivery Hero. One particular blog post that caught my attention ...
