Caveman

Yeah, I love reading these and I’ve been using Linux for 8 years. I recommend Linux regularly and I want to know enough about new people’s experiences to know what questions to ask.

Do you use Photoshop? Do you have modern hardware or fancy monitor? What GPU?

Good thing we can all boot up TempleOS and find the answers we seek. 🙏

Onions and mushrooms are the two things I can have with pretty much every meal.

Systemd is controlled by redhat and is a very large part of the Linux stack. It’s become so universal that a lot random stuff won’t work unless the system has systemd.

Compared to X11 to wayland or pulseaudio to pipewire it’s a lot hard to now replace an init system and with that in the hands of redhat which is for profit is not a nice thought.

But you know, fuck it, having systemd is a massive headache for people making distros that’s just gone. Everyone is using the same thing and things just work so people aren’t really complaining. If redhat tries some shenanigans there’ll always be a fork or a systemd compatible init system or even whatever Alpine is using now that’ll take it’s place.

Each desktop environment needs to implement wayland so it’s best to leave it to the distro you’re using to provide it as an option. For a good wayland experience I’d recommend KDE

Did you mean to add /s?

I dabbled a bit with Godot 4 recently and the experience was pretty nice. Gdscript is easy enough to learn and the engine feels very flexible once you learn to use each building block. Guides on YouTube are good and the docs have guides also for creating a 2d top down shooter bullet.

Pretty good all in all IMO.

• Doom 2016 $4 -80%
• Neon White 2022 $10 -60%
• Inscryption 2021 $8 -60%

Never played Doom 2016 but I’ve heard it’s very good.

I remember reformatting a Windows computer to get a fresh install and I had to find the driver CD and install a driver for audio, internet and other very basic stuff.

You can open the link and find out. It’s 11%.

Nah mate, it’s very much exactly what it says. A ambiguous statement would be “Share of Linux devices on pornhub grew by 22.5%” which could be either in relative or absolute terms. Traffic increase is pretty much number of requests made from a Linux machine grew by 22.5%.

You make a fair point, programming skill is more important than language but picking a programming language is still important in a lot of cases.

Ecosystem size can reduce “reinvent the wheel” code.

Some languages just have dogshit performance like Ruby, lua is pretty good though and it absolutely matters when you have to crunch a lot of data. Access to developers is big since you ideally want to find someone with experience in the language your project is in.

Some languages like Rust are very good for making safe code but very bad if you want to get out a microservice fast. I could make an equally correct version of some adapter in a fourth of the time in python compared to rust and I know them similarly well.

Then there’s low RAM requirements like embedded devices, it’s best to run something that compiles to machine code and doesn’t need a big runtime. Java and C# become almost useless in very low RAM environments and you’d have to use Zig, C or Rust instead.

So long story short, depending on what you’re writing it can just not matter or matter a lot.

You mean js

/s

That’s why he’s not called Santa Clause with an e, duh

Visual Studio also feels really urderbaked IMO. I had my issues with navigation, UI and Vim mode. Debugger experience with Edit and Continue was pretty amazing though.

KDE Neon, with Icons-Only task manager and global menu in a top bar. I have shortcuts for moving between activities and custom one for “show in all/show only in current activity” with a KWin script. Window rules for everything to open in the correct activity. Neon is not super stable but it’s nice and fun to get the latest KDE stuff.

IDE is Neovim and Rider (Jetbrains)

Neovim config is kickstart.nvim + autosave, noice-ui, commentary, luasnip and harpoon.

Rider has Nyan progress bar, key promoter X, Ideavim and gittoolbox. I want to move to Neovim but debugger experience is very good in Rider. ctrl+p and alt+tab, Navigation is a bit too slow for me.

Also bash, it’s big part of my development environment since I really like using the terminal and making alias and functions for everything. I have “clipboard filepath - > js code generator - > clipboard” stuff for example and it’s nice to just type gen -ts to convert C# class to TS interface ready to paste. Play/pause media with p, navigate to project and start it name [all, start, cs]. ref to fuzzy find a git branch and switch to it. Log how many hours I worked with logtime etc. I hate bash as a language but as a tool to interact with the computer I love deeply because you can automate a stupid amount of stuff.

Also, no mouse, just trackpad for when I’m forced to use it which is not that often even though I’m in webdev (vimium plugin for browsers MVP there).

That’s a question that is very hard to answer. Dogs have a similar-ish brain structure but there’s a good chance you need a massive prefrontal cortex to have a chance of getting autism.

It’s a sin doing that to an elote.

That will be labeled as “other” in those cases

It’s the year of the Linux desktop
