As also stated by others you should start learning the basic concepts and no specific flavor/distro to understand how everything fits together. You sound like someone who could very well succeed in that, since you didn't give up yet :)

I can only recommend starting to read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide

Once I installed arch I never looked back. I heard good things of the rolling distros of Suse and Fedora as well, but arch feels more vanilla than the others to me.

If you have a lot of time and passion you could also have a run of linux from scratch. You do it once for the learning part and then choose a distro of your liking.

Or chocolate cake

While traveling SE Asia I didn't see that very often. Besides in some rural areas (and even there), dogs turned into pets as in western "civilization" and their owners didn't want to eat them anymore.

Beides that there are ARM softcores available on Xilinx...

One can also use one of the three .home .corp or .mail as of [0]. I'm not aware of an RFC that writes down that those are OK to use, but if the iCANN already pinky sweared that this is OK, what could go wrong?

That's not true.

While requesting The Unlicense to be officially OSI approved [0], I've approached a German Lawyer specialized in Licensing and from his PoV the terms are also clear in Germany.

I guess that 500GB repository would be barely usable.

You should check out Git LFS if you want to do that, as it sounds like a good idea in the first place!

I really liked the anaphylactic shock induced by putting rabbit hair into the car ventilation system of the highly allergic victim in the Midsomer Murders episode "Red in Tooth & Claw".

That's not entirely true.

It's true that it's not as easy to work with a contractor living in Germany, as in the rest of the world, but it's doable.

There are ways to set-up your contractor business which allows you to do that! It's not even that hard.

For the employer there's an easy way to find out if they can work with someone which is called "Statusfeststellungsverfahren".

...and AFAIU all of the risk is on the side of the contractor, when she's doing business with an international company. It's up to the contractor to take care of everything tax/pension etc. related properly.

Get in touch with me for my full CV.

Having worked with both Xilinx & Intel/Altera recently, I can agree that Xilinx works quite nicely.

But Altera works equally well and feels much more natural to me!

Their entire toolchain is very unix-like, which can be seen from an example Makefile like [1] and I had no problems until now to move projects etc. from Windows to Linux and back.

Whereas for Xilinx there have to exist tools like [2] or [3] to be able to build your project on the console and I won't start with the problems I've had with moving projects around or the Xilinx Platform Cable under Linux which ended up in me doing only remote ILA'ing via a Windows box (at least that works w/o a problem).

Unfortunately since Intel bought Altera it seems that they are pulling more and more out of the normal FPGA market, which can make it harder to get support.

Regarding the free tooling, Altera also provides a "Quartus Lite" version which brings you basically the same feature-set than the Xilinx WebPack, for the Altera world.

The Altera toolchain is unfortunately harder bound to SuSe or Redhat than the one of Xilinx.

I haven't worked with lattice yet, but e.g. [4] looks super promising and their toolchain is said to be very linux friendly as well.

I liked the style of writing, but the lack of knowledge of the author made me create this account and adding my first hn comment.

Thanks to all others who explained technically what upset me so much.
