OP doesn’t criticize current problems. OP criticizes American median level of life being a bit worse than their parents’ generation, while it’s still obscenely good for most of the planet (for which levels of life have also taken a hit). While the current problems (of the “mass murder, robbery, theft, erasure of heritage, historical revisionism and tyranny” kinds) OP doesn’t even hear about apparently.

It wasn’t an attempt at an insult. It was an attempt to inform you that the whole comment seemed strange.

That kind of pretense is even more stupid when

and the only “code” I’ve ever written is hexadecimal for the Apple ][+ we had back in high school

it turns out you’ve seen some parts of real computing many people haven’t.

Also sorry for making you feel whatever way, my comment was basically intended to prevent more of that in future.

So, about using it - the advice would be to try something convenient in dualboot (shrink the NTFS, shrink the partition it’s on, install Linux on the freed up space) and see for yourself.

Only 6 hours

I’ve been changing colors and and textures in my desktop for longer spans of time

And playing CK2

Still, those are at least pleasant.

Show me how a comment on the Web can disallow them anything.

By the way, neither can any of yours

Projects don’t react too well to premature attention.

with the only difference of be paided less then them.

Try rice fields.

I don’t want to be like this. I want my life to be more then this. I want to go out explore and change the world.

Everyone does, just don’t overthink it and do what you want now, then maybe you’ll have something to remember when you turn 81.

Welcome to the 2020s, welcome to late stage captalism.

First world problems. Try year 1630 AD.

but not one of us could have imagined the entire generation having a mid-life crisis at the age of 18.

It’s not a mid-life crisis, it’s the typical teenage trap of thinking you’ve reached that and are now wise sensei in a wrong body. Actually feels like something a 15yo me could have written, not 18yo.

It’s more dangerous than you think. When you really have a mid-life crisis, it’ll just be. You won’t think about it this way.

Don’t allow those thoughts to prevent you from getting out, touching grass, learning all you can about all the wonders in the world you can find.

Also don’t wait those 3 months to consider yourself an adult.

And, quoting Al Pachino’s character, when in doubt - fuck.

Distributions are all of the same operating system, they differ in the set of applications and installation management tools. Except for those with different libc than glibc, things will generally work everywhere. Maybe with some effort.

Just don’t recommend Linux people with Nvidia hybrid graphics, though.

What version of Linux does Fedora install?

Whatever resides in its repositories for the specific release of Fedora. What exactly do you need the specific version for? I’m sorry, but this question sounds as if you were trying to imitate some kind of savvyness.

Is it directly compatible with Windows software such as games and OBS,

Linux doesn’t present Windows NT ABI, if that is your question. It’s a different operating system, and it would be a very weird expectation of it to do that.

or does it require modifications/compatibility installations such as WINE?

Wine is a userland implementation of Windows subsystem for NT, only for Unix-likes.

So yes, if you want to run Windows applications, you are going to use Wine.

Does it have documented support online or is it a matter of haunting forums and such for when problems occur?

Good documentation is present, unlike with Windows. Haunting forums is generally not our way of doing things. However, that will yield better results than Windows, too.

And no matter how solid an OS is, I will tend to break it, generally by doing stupid shit, but I will break it. Before putting it back together. Which is generally how I tend to learn software.

I’m not sure you’re an adult. I’m also not sure you’ve written a single line of code in your life.

Y’all here talking so smart ignore another thing - the more complex your solutions are, the deeper you are into being hostage to everyone capable of making the effort to own you.

Don’t wanna be hostage - don’t use corporate and cloud services for things you need more than a bus ticket.

You are being gaslighted to think today’s problems can be solved by more complexity. In fact the future is in generalizing and simplifying what exists. I’m optimistic over a few projects, some of which already work, and some of which are in alpha.

Income in societies (not only market economies, but all economies with some kind of money) is a function of one’s relative power in the society. There’s nothing absolute in one’s income in money (as universal equivalent) connected to productive powers’ development.

If that power is mostly held by government bureaucrats and corporations, naturally the conditions for population growth will not be very good.

And government bureaucracy and corporations like each other because they can have some balance of power while trampling everyone else, so government bureaucracy will not fight corporations to death.

Good luck.

The last time is much more recent.

The year of OpenBSD desktop it is, then!

I’m serious, I’m getting burnout not just from Windows, but even from Linux.

And saying that every GUI is easier to use than every TUI or every config file format is wrong.

GUIs can be hard and easy to use. Config file formats can be hard and easy to use.

The fallacy is that GUIs can theoretically be navigated “intuitively” without looking for documentation for setting up stuff, but in fact I dare you try it.

OpenBSD was the easiest system to maintain on desktop I’ve had.

Unfortunately, I wanted Wine and gamez.

OK, no rtw88 for OpenBSD, so … no.

No, I don’t know your mom. Don’t remember her for sure. Another fool blocked

You talking to yourself. Fool blocked, again

They are definitely closer to that for doing the right thing all by themselves that for deciding what others will do.

And not the cartoonish stupidity said MMO is.

I also just read all the development issues about the SWKOTOR remake.

Frankly the reason I’d want KotOR III is because of the plot and the music and the rest of what makes a game from non-technical point of view. What engine they’ll use, what combat system, all that is unimportant.

And they could call it something else. I just want Onderon, wandering Jedi, Sith magic, tombs and artifacts, and that feeling that there’s only your soul and the universe.

Not a single paragraph without attempts at cheating, so of course another fool blocked.

Our brains work in various ways. Somewhere in there a system similar to those “AI”'s exists, I agree. It’s just only one part. Artificial dicks are not the same thing as artificial humans

The little-known KotOR III drama pains me more.
