    “Are [mainframe OS, non-flagship/consumer OS] [consumer device] ready in [Current Year]?”

    Not to be an asshat about it, but this is what the title reads to me. I’d love a Linux mobile distribution, but really what that’s asking for is: optimized mobile driver kit for an open hardware platform, and the ability to manufacture them at an economy of scale to deliver quality without paying out the ass for. I feel like this is difficult because that development time required to have a stable software and the hardware itself would require tons of money, so one would have to be sacrificed since FOSS devs don’t really have a lot of money… since they do it for free.


  • It’s extremely flooded at the moment. Going to any state college you will see how many other kids decided this was the path for them. If you like it, it makes sense. It’s extremely hard to get that kind of job (a programmer) unless you really study and work outside of school and actively apply to internships. A computer science degree is not necessarily limited to programming, however, and do not feel ashamed if once you come to college you feel like this is not for you, because there are always opportunities outside of software engineering such as network engineering or system administration.
