Ubuntu and Linux Mint are ideal for people who just want to ignore the OS and get work done.

If you are a Dev you should be clear of such problem, unless you need a very specific tool, but, many people can’t switch because the programs they work with are not supported on Linux. Take a look into that, and in the worst case scenario you can dual boot windows.

Gaming wise proton is a bless and let’s you play most games, check protonDB for compability. Major portion of the games that don’t work are due to crappy anticheat solutions.

Good luck, any other questions feel free to ask.

King missile - jesus was way cool, to whoever did not get the reference.

I am markdown and latex programmer.

Idk it just feels wrong.

Broadie Robertson is pretty cool too!!!

How can I kill this evil thing?

With fire

“But sir we allow other competitors to exist, it just so happens we have a monopoly at this point in time, we totally let our friends grow their platform instead of buying them out right and/or establish measures to ruin their business”

Yeah whatsapp sucks, but I am tired of trying to convincing my family to switch.

Supposedly because of the EU, they are working on interoperability with other apps.

Just waiting to delete that spyware app.

Honestly I think of time travels as a trip to a specific point in time and space, your actions could influence such plane, so much that the point where you left from no longer exists or is vastly different.

You exist in whichever point you are, but your past self could not even been born after you altered history.

Of course in this paradigm you could have multiple replicas of yourself if you intervene yourself in past trips.

I read an novel on my language long ago that played with that where the main protagonist trying to save the world from a apocalipse that he does not even remmenber, eradicated everyone if not himself and created a society of time clones with an hierarchy where only the ones on top could travel to epoch point.

In my experience it comes down to avoid nvdia and check for the network/wifi chipset support on linux.

Oh … thx for the insight, it was a daydream anyways looks like the only solution is cloud native if one wants uniformity, still a bit hesitant to have a system so stable I can’t change it’s core filesystem.

OK maybe what I meant was a packaging format and not a package manager, above there was a user that mentioned that all distros have their quirks and kinks, if GNU created a package manager that worked perfectly at first time maybe it’s adoption would go across the distros but as u said to make it perfect the first time is something hard and even harder on early days where nothing was set on stone and there would be always the odd one that would make their package manager.

But if we all agreed early on, one one packaging format (which of course would have to go through many iterations to reach a stable state ) all package format wars would be over and in well implemented ecosystem of package managers of each distro, it would be also an somewhat interoperable one.

Yeah that’s my daydream, imagine if there was one from the start.

Yeah of course I get your argument although we have rpm (or deb in debain based distros) across redHat and OpenSUSE it does not mean that the same rpm package would work on both systems due to distro specific aspects (like different root structures, init systems etc . . .), but that’s something for the package manager to solve, the package format could be agreed upon, which would ease the workload of developers and maintainers since the moment you know the target distros of a package they could see the base differences of said distros and add symlinks, dependencies, environment variables, services … as needed for the package.

This seems like it could lead to a whole lotta of conflicts, but I think if the daddy distros were designed all with one package format in mind, such format could be somewhat interoperable.

As an aspiring dev, I always tough of mobile as platform limited by it’s past.

We got used to free crappy games because the hardware couldn’t do more. Since then the platform evolved quite a bit, but the equation on people minds stayed the same, mobile games = (free,crappy,gotcha).

Maybe I part of the problem most games I play on mobile are through emulators and quite honestly I do it to burn time not to enjoy the experience for that I would go for my pc, I would like for a change of paradigm and stopped supporting and playing simple gotcha free games, but I think the paradigm will never shift, unless something big breaks out for a couple bucks that creates a trend or even a genre.

Fuck the cat landed on my keyboard typed sudo rm -rf / --no-peserve-root and then pressed enter.

Yeah John blame it on the cat !!! We all have intrusive thoughts but don’t follow them through!!!

Hyprland is great but if you do not have experience with it I would advise you to install KDE or Gnome while you build configs and workflows for it.

About how does it behave in OpenSuse I can’t say nothing about it, but the guys at SUSE are all about stability, so as long as it is in the official repos you should be fine, otherwise third party repos might do fine as well.

I made a template a while back when I had to make report, since I had a professor that disliked the markdown look of previous ones.

A bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, you make a few templates and write on them just like markdown with custom alias and whatnot.

Well every one already recommended latex or markdown.

I would also recommend typst, it’s a modern latex alternative easy to make templates and a markdown like syntax, none of all the backslash keywords that I somehow always forget.

True, but honestly I think the only solution to such wage slavery is basic universal income, which is something truly hard to achieve in my ignorant eyes.

Once people feel/know that they can go on without a job, those who do have one, either because they want more or want to dive and contribute back to a certain area, would not subject to unfair conditions regulating everything in and related to work from

tyranny of the clock, petty bosses, arbitrary rules about where we work or how we dress …

Thanks for the recommendation will give it a look.

Totally agree, but there will always be outliers in any standard system being it socialism, capitalism and everything in between.

And to measure contributions of such outliers is a problem hard to solve, problem that hurts such outliers more than everyone else.

I stand on the two statements above, but as you pointed out there are still problems and solutions must be found.
