it's actually not terrible if you are willing to use the unity desktop... but as I understand it canonical won't be supporting unity and is switching back to Gnome, which is... a bag of tweaks and scaling.

I've been using Elementary (an Ubuntu Gnome fork) which delivers a slightly better out of the box ui.

8GB of RAM? Seriously? That's a non starter for me as a developer that works on multiple projects daily. At any given moment I'm running 3 or 4 backends, an equal or greater number of front ends, test suites, a vagrant VM... I can barely get by with 16.

Um, what? You can have 16gb.

I see that now under the search options. When I clicked into purchase the displayed models, it showed a static 8GB with no option to modify. My mistake.

I've used clonezilla (http://clonezilla.org/). You create a bootable media (usb stick) then use that to clone to another drive/partition.

6' guy here, I removed the arms from my chair and just let my arms hang naturally while typing. This has made a world of difference.

I also invested in a standing desk recently and find myself standing about 1/2 the day, which has also helped quite a bit.

Interesting, so do have your elbows parallel to the desk surface or let them hang down below it?

Did exactly the same a few weeks ago after ~6 months of trying to adjust my typing position to a new chair and I'm already seeing an improvement to how comfortable I feel typing/using my PC!

I am 6'3" and both of these have helped me, as well

I have a degree in studio art. My thesis was a mixed media triptych oil on canvas and digital art printed on canvas.

I started out as a graphic designer, moved into web design and then into programming.

My degree, and study of lithography, painting, sculpture, etching and more has made me the professional I am today. Studying art is all about the need for rigorous process and attention to detail in a creative workflow. This is what programming is. I have no doubt that my education and experience as an artist has improved my ability to think critically and solve problems as a programmer.

Attention to detail was definitely my number one gain from an art / creative background. Can't overstate the importance of a good critical eye for detail.
