Re:Ask HN: What are some alternatives to Unity? on Tuesday January 24, 2017 @06:21PM (#13476758)
Elementary. Not sure if it's an Ubuntu desktop, or just a debian-based distro. Also like Cinnamon, Mate on Mint.

If you're Steve Jobs, you tell them. You're also 5 years dead.

I like benologist's reply, as well.

Re:Ask HN: Is there anyone trying to “disrupt” umbrellas? on Tuesday January 17, 2017 @02:09PM (#13420186)
High wind usually disrupts mine.
I am in the same boat as you, more or less, except I am way, WAY older (I won't even say how much older).

The only real advice I can give is that you should worry less about getting satisfaction from work, and more about finding things that will bring you satisfaction.

I would especially look at things outside of tech or "gadgets" and more toward forging meaningful relationships with other people.

Trust me when I tell you that when you get older, it's those kinds of connections in your life that will mean much more than success at a "starup."

Not to say that success in business or professional life is worthless, just that you need to find a good balance between "work" and "life."

Also, as you are so young, if you aspire to work at Tesla of SpaceX or wherever, you should continue to work towards fulfilling those goals. Don't give up on life just because of some temporary setbacks.

Cheers
