First thing I'd do is to look at the client (fedora) journal for anything funky happening.

'sudo systemctl status nfs-client'

Since it's random I assume you won't have any timeout in your /etc/fstab but it might be worth taking a look anyway.

Be aware that if the network drops the NFS will be disconnected and won't auto-reconnect so this could also be the issue.

I don't know if it plays well with container mounted volume, but looking at autofs could be a solution to auto-remount the share. I use it profusely for network mounted home directories.

I'm still in a mechanical engineering world so just saying INT and FLOAT has people running away. Excel is the "safe zone" for them, sadly it means that I'll just be doing the VBA part and oh gawd please get me out of here...

Immutable distros works great when you want them exactly as they come. Anything else is a shit show IMHO.

As an example, multiple fedora based immutable distros dont have the codecs required to play YouTube videos. You have to either replace the rpm-ostree based Firefox with the flatpaks one or layer ffmpeg over the base system. Both solutions I wouldn't expect someone without Linux knowledge to be able to do.

Can confirm. Was quite unhappy in my mechanical engineering job, had an opportunity to develop something nice in python, was told we'd do it in excel/vba instead, still unhappy.

I remember those questions! As soon as I read high school my mind went from "working for Canonical would be nice" to "let's justify not writing an essay by reading everything bad about Canonical".

Lucky for me it was easy as r/recruitinghell was full of post about people doing the whole process and being rejected. Also the CEO had a reddit account and the way he was justifying this process didn't jive with me, at all.

VM is still windows tho, just one layer deeper.

Freecad is OK but it wouldn't even be considered in a commercial setting like I'm working in. I work with Catia, Solidworks and Polyworks. None on those run on Linux.

Sadly Windows is still required for a lot of cad softwares.

Just tried both and I don't know which one made me feel better

One felt like being run over by a train, the other felt I was a legless puppy in front of a kindergarten.

He could very well be one of the last 2 us president now.

Considering that git already support email based collaboration, I agree that a federated forge is really niche. It's more of a frontend bonus. Which, considering the amount of company still using IRC, is not really a priority in the commercial world.
