    Just as an FYI, 1Password has now come out with linux support via their browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox. I'm using it now and it works great -- seamlessly integrates with their desktop apps.

    There's lots of things I don't like about Goodreads, but I actually find the book tracking to be fine -- what limitations are you seeing with it?

    I find books that I enjoy. They suck me in from there. Seriously, if you're not finding yourself wanting to get back to that book you started last night, maybe it's not the right book for you....

    Beyond that, I do tend to read at night, before going to bed. I find that it helps calm my thoughts and disconnect from the events of that day.

    I signed up for $10/month. Part of that will come from not renewing reddit gold as I'm not going to support the direction they're currently headed.

    I really hope more people will sign up to be monthly contributors; enough so @deimos can work on this full time. I think most people can afford $10/month.

    Not really sure on the linux distro -- I tend to use Ubuntu and stick with that, but not sure it's "best" for your use case.

    That said, i3wm will do exactly what you're asking from a tiling standpoint. It's what I use every day and I've got certain apps configured to launch to certain monitors (I have three that I use). And, I can tile them within a certain monitor. So I have three instances of my terminal tiled on a single monitor. It takes some fiddling to set up just the way you want it, but once you have it there, it works great.

    See my reply elsewhere in the thread, but O365 gives you a much different experience. The mobile stuff is tightly integrated with the desktop stuff and so you can work from wherever you are, using whatever device you prefer at that time. So I'll start a document on my desktop, then head out to meetings and whatnot where I can do light editing from my iPad. I'm sure this is possible to set up using the on prem stuff, but it Just Works on O365 without a lot of hassle.

    Microsoft is (relatively quietly) killing it with Office 365. A huge chunk of the Fortune 1000 are either already on O365, migrating to it or at least seriously considering it. And, as a newly-converted O365 user, it's actually a great experience. They've integrated mobile and desktop very well, so you can use either or both interchangeably. It's an honestly better user experience than the old, on prem model that I've used for years.

    I love the Dell XPS series. It's close to Macbook-like quality, but without Macbook prices. I was actually a die-hard Macbook fan until their most recent model where they completely ruined the keyboard. The Dell XPS has been an excellent replacement with a much better keyboard.

    It's also Linux-friendly if that's your thing.
