be memechanical engineering student, euro, actually showing up to classneed proper dual boot because Mastercam, SolidWorks 2025 and real CAM for CNC machinesWindows is non-negotiable if I want to eat and not get replacedbut I refuse to be a pure Windows npcswant Linux 70-80% of the time for everything else (scripting, python automation, actual thinking)The eternal question:Which distro actually looks decent on a CV in real industry instead of just giving me (You)s?Which one forces me to become better — terminal autist that actually understands his system instead of another Ubuntu zoomer clicking buttons?Ubuntu (stable joblet) vs Arch (suffering = growth) vs Fedora/Pop vs based Gentoo?Does putting "Arch btw" on the CV make recruiters respect me or filter me as another basement dweller while some 3rd worlder takes the job for $12/h?Battery life sucks on Ubuntu, I want something that either just works or brutally forces me to git gud.Help me choose my weapon in the great replacement of mechanical engineers.Pic related: the choice between comfort and becoming dangerous.I was thinking of redhat, it's almost 40% of the market, ubuntu is like 30%, 10% of archs commits 60% of bugs
