I think consulting would be a better word

Windows 3.1 doesn't even come with a TCP/IP stack. It's actually pretty safe.

Yes, you should have backups. You can use something like KeePass to store them I suppose. I personally just use the file system on a secure server.

Likely a lot of time was spent iterating and experimenting with different ideas, testing out concepts, tweaking, etc. Haven't played the game but I do work as a software developer.

Carmack actually developed Doom on NeXTSTEP, not Linux. The windows and DOS ports were not released as open source, due to copyright issues concerning the sound library. So they released the source of the Linux port instead. I don't think it made much of a difference in practice since it was a fairly popular game even before that.

It most definitely is. Look up Olle Nilsson on YouTube to see what a professional photographer can do with an Xperia camera (Xperia 5 V).

I still love my Xperia 5 II. I plan on keeping it for a least a couple more years.

Fun fact: Zachary Quinto had a hard time doing it so they had to use super glue in some of the scenes

Best coverage I've seen so far has been on Ars Technica.

Another vote for Debian stable with backports and flatpaks. I don't really have an issue with outdated software, and I really like "apt", maybe because I'm so used to it as this point. I've been running mainly Debian for 12+ years now.

My second choice for personal use would be Arch Linux. I had very good experience with it back in the day and their wiki is fantastic. But I'm too comfortable with the simplicity and stability of Debian at this point.

At work I use Ubuntu because everyone else uses it. It's not too bad. I just ignore all the crap I don't like (like snaps).
