I've been trying to find an AI note taker for when I have calls for work so I don't miss anything because my boss likes to ramble through a bunch of tasks at once. I'm looking for one of those background note takers that will be triggered whenever I get a slack or Google meets call, and I don't have to add it to the call for it to work. I'd prefer something open source but not a deal breaker there. The ones I've found when I search for a Linux note taker never seem to have a Linux version for downloading.

Has anyone had any luck finding a good Linux one or had success with a Windows one with wine?

I've been doing some interviews lately, and my most recent one seemed to be my most promising one so far, until he started doing what he called "light tech screening" and did some trivia questions to test my knowledge on what goes on under the hood. I do admit, I should have been better prepared on the topics, and didn't do as well as I could have. At the end, he said my experience was interesting but I needed a better grasp of the fundamentals, and that we should keep in touch. Afterwards, I messaged thanking him for his time, and that I needed to review my course material, asked if he thought I should review anything specific and if I could do that for a few weeks and revisit it like he said. He suggested I do a deep dive into JS/TS to really understand what goes on and why, and would be happy to revisit it in a few weeks, and again said to keep in touch.

Does that really mean keep in touch regularly or often? Or is it just a throw away yea reach out again in a few weeks when you're ready? I'm already pretty stoked to get a second chance at this, the company seems cool and I like that they aren't weighing everything on leetcode problems. If I should keep in touch regularly, what would that even be about? I also don't want to annoy him before meeting again.

Any advice would be appreciated!

If I just swap from app to app without going to my home screen, I get a black screen. I have to got to my home screen and then back to see any content

I know this is a very generalized question, as it depends on the company, product, position, etc. But in general, what sets someone apart as ready for a senior position over an intermediate or junior position? Experience I would think would be a big one, but say you have a candidate that shows problem solving abilities to solve code problems, but is newer to the tech field vs someone who's been in the field x years, does the first guy have a shot without really knowing the ins and outs of working as a software engineer, hoping to pick it up quick?

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this, I couldn't find a linux-no-stupid-questions community lol.

I'm migrating again to linux, and working on Linux Mint for now to avoid a huge change due to my upcoming program for school soon where I won't have extra time to fiddle with things. So I'm trying to get everything set up, and download my most used applications, but I'm trying to figure out - should I be downloading the official software if it's available, or is it better to find a FOSS alternative instead? I plan to go with the apps that come with it like the libre office instead of Microsoft, obviously, but I was looking at Discord and there is what appears to be an official looking option in the software manager app, and below it a FOSS WebCord option. Or, if this one isn't the official, I could always go to the discord site and get it from them if they have it available.

Does it matter which option I go with? Is it better to go with official software if possible? Or is it better to go with FOSS for more control/privacy?
