The [open approach]({{<relref"../../oss">}} "Concept: ODM / OSS") and the advanced and comprehensive [software development platform]({{<relref"../../gitlab">}} "Concept: GitLab Ultimate") are combined with a local development environment running on a powerful developer laptop with Ubuntu 22. This is typically achieved by using an additional laptop alongside the official company laptop. For example, a Dell Precision 7670 with a minimum of 32 GB of RAM is highly suitable for replicating complete environments.
