I assume other than phishing it's also the poor UX of switching to your email inbox and then back to the browser, which can be especially bad on mobile.

That being said, I like the idea and have asked myself that question before as well.

yuleon ArchLinux, Not Just For The Elite

Two things helped me a lot with my Archlinux installation:

1) I previously tried in a virtual machine 2) I had a second machine next to mine to look up stuff in the wiki and follow the installation guide.

That is quite a normal concern. Fortunately, the Archlinux wiki has good info on how to configure fonts: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration#Ubun... (that link leads to the section about Ubuntu-patched packages, but the whole page is a good read).

If you use Archlinux, make sure you use the wiki and bbs to their full power. Most of the problems you think of have been solved in a way or another. It usually just requires installing some packages, which is a breeze.

yuleon MacBook Air vs Lenovo Thinkpad X1

The upgrade I chose for the MacBook Air still includes a power-efficient CPU, probably with the exact same TDP rating, just a slightly higher clock rating. This will most likely not increase the power drain, depending on what task your putting it to.

I was going for full specs in the comparison.

Coupons are not an option in Germany, that's why I compared stock prices.

yuleon MacBook Air vs Lenovo Thinkpad X1

I can't keep track of all the models around, so I picked the biggest competitor to the MBA. On a glance, that Asus doesn't seem to have a particularly sturdy case and also Nvidia Optimus might make it a nightmare to run Linux on.

yuleon MacBook Air vs Lenovo Thinkpad X1

We're targeting Debian, so running that (in a VM) on a 4GB MBA is not pleasant. Borderline unusable, sometimes. That's why I'd have preferred an ultraportable with either more RAM or the ability to run Debian natively on. Turns out, I found none so far.

yuleon MacBook Air vs Lenovo Thinkpad X1

According to what I read it's a hassle to get it installed and then working. Also, I don't know how it behaves on updates. The Ubuntu help page linked in the article mentions something about a post-install script which might needed to be run more than once...

yuleon MacBook Air vs Lenovo Thinkpad X1

Thanks for noticing, I fixed this now. I wanted to include the X220 in this comparison but then decided to leave it out.

yuleon MacBook Air vs Lenovo Thinkpad X1

For what it's worth, I do use an MBA (3,2) and I sometimes have problems with the glare screen indoors (have to move it around to diminish sunlight reflection).

Of course batteries add to the weight, I just mentioned it because sometimes you just need those extra hours, just like some people specifically need 8GB of RAM.

yuleon MacBook Air vs Lenovo Thinkpad X1

You are right, that is quite an omission on my part. Just note that the higher clock speed isn't a priority in _my_ books and brings lower battery life which _is_ a priority for me.

yuleon MacBook Air vs Lenovo Thinkpad X1

No, you were right. I updated the article. Thanks!

Regarding where to look for jobs, I'd suggest stepstone.de, heise.de/jobs and also xing.com (a LinkedIn-like site with more german users - the Python and Django groups also have a dedicated forum for jobs).
