Lol I did as well.

“ermm actually had you apologized I would have undone the ban”

fuck you

These reddit ban appeals are just power trips for the mods. do not engage with this feature.

Arch in like 2019 maybe.

I still like Arch, I tried all sorts of distros in VMs, most feel clunky to me.

Tiling manager, GUI file explorer, minimal status bar and I’m set.

For my laptop this is swaywm, swaybar, nautilus.

I also use drun-like programs

Reddit Linux are just a bunch of gaming chuds. and I say that as a gamer.

They’ll take time to understand the landscape and there’s nothing wrong with that, yes reddit is dogshit but you won’t convince anyone by just telling them. They just have to look around for themselves.

All your concerns are valid and Linux handles all these well except:

If you play competitive games with kernel anti cheat it will simply not work on Linux courtesy of the game developers.

Linux is fully capable of running the game and the anti cheat but the game developers restrict it. Notable games are cod, fortnite, apex legends.

A notable competitive game that works on Linux is cs2 although you won’t be able to run 3rd party anti cheat like FACEIT as far as I know.

You can use the proton site to tell you how many of your games on your steam library are playable on Linux.

I’m on my 8th month or so using Linux to game and I’ve had no issues, most popular games will work. Most niche games use very simple tech like SDL and will just work.

Wine essentially creates a fake windows environment and handles a lot of internal API calls by kind of redirecting them to existing Linux services, so a lot of windows stuff will just work.

As for security. You realize most of the Internet runs on Linux ? Practically the majority of the internet is hosted on Linux machines.

As for a distrto there is no optimal choice you can make.

You can pick Ubuntu, Debian or Mint and find yourself disappointed in how restricting the power user experience is.

You can pick arch or cachy for the latest wine improvements but find yourself lost in how to handle the OS in case something goes wrong.

I personally think cachy (rolling release) is the best for gaming but you could encounter issues (skill issues really) that might frustrate you. These issues would lead to growth and improvement in your understanding of Linux but if all you want to do is game and you don’t care about understanding computers then it might not be for you.

I use wine for FFXIV. proton kinda works but not for my case. Certain mods use a bleeding edge version of dotnet and this version is not present in proton.

hired goons?

“no dude he just wasn’t using [ai product] dude I use that and then send it to [another ai product]'s [buzzword like ‘pipeline’] you have to try those out dude”

It’s even more fun when the angry asshole people are mods on the platform!

See: reddit

That’s a actually a good perspective I didn’t consider, them being in their own dark corner means your area is not polluted

Extremely based

functional programmers when they look at their code 2 years later

Me when I’m fucking banned from some Linux .org forum for no reason (did not read or make a post or even login)

ermmmmm contact the web admins 🤓 how about no?

Forums are extremely unfriendly and need a complete redesign if they hope people will use them

There’s lots of valid reasons for this.

Imo the biggest one people don’t account for is this: Dev salaries are incredibly high. if you want fast performance the most optimal way would be to target the platform and use low level native code, so C++ or Swift.

It would cost you like 20x more than just using electron and it will cost you bigly if you have multiple platforms to maintain.

So it turns out having 1 team crunching out an app on electron with hundreds of dependencies is cheaper, naturally that’s what most companies will do.

Don’t want to use electron ? Then it’s kind of the same issue except this time you’re using Java and C# and you have to handle platform specific things on your own (think audio libraries for example). It’s definitely doable but will be more costly than using a cross platform chromium app.

Core 2 Duo is also a terrible name from Intel in the first place. I did place my repebble order, hopefully it will serve me well.

they could have just called gims or gim

naming stuff is important

I mean including things like planets, an umbrella term that planets are always on

it doesn’t sound to me like you could just say a planet is debris although I do think the formation of the moon could technically be space debris so maybe other larger celestial objects may have originated as such

I’m a computer person. not a space or physics person so forgive my lack of correct terminology

what is the name for things in orbits that aren’t asteroids ?

using threads to reduce cpu usage ? in what world ? if you can parallelize tasks you will always increase the workload done.

because explicitly declaring types can be redundant, if the compiler knows a lot of the times you should also know

also because some types are extremely cursed: see std views/ranges
