not saying it’s important, but if you tell a meat-lover to give up meat they will say no. Maybe it wasn’t the best analogy…

but it tastes so good…

Money mostly. It generates a lot of profit and it costs money to switch. In many of countries oil, gas, etc. are like a huge portion of their GDP. It’s like trying to get people to eat less meat. It would be better and more environmentally friendly, but everyone is too dependent on meat.

the US probably.

Yeah it was mentioned in the github repo near the bottom I think. They really don’t want you do use it as your only method of auth. I use it because it’s convenient, not for its security.

p.s. howdy is WAY faster at recognising than Windows Hello and doesn’t show up the stupid “looking for your face” pop up. Probably bc it isn’t as secure (it can be fooled by a picture of your face)

LibreOffice’s UI is fine on Linux, on Windows not so much. OnlyOffice is a good alternative for Windows

it became round, turned around, turned back around, and became square again.

This happened to me once and I had to redo my coursework over the weekend…now I use Fedora :D

i thought that was a hand with too many fingers. teeth make more sense.

like, it’s an entire OPERATING SYSTEM! ofc the people who help make excellent open-source software that can handily compete with the big companies are awesome too!

I’ve installed Ubuntu on both of my old laptops but they are so old that I can’t effectively daily drive them (they are heavy, thick, terrible screen, battery is dead, etc)

I’m thinking of switching to Linux for my newer laptop, but I want to wait until the holidays. Hopefully the bugs around touchscreens will be fixed soon!

Fedora. I thunk my device might not be supported, or maybe there’s some software I need to install to make it work. Not a huge deal though.

vibes man

I think it might not be supported. My device is an Asus Zenbook 14 Flip so might not be supported compared to something like a lenovo yoga or the tuxedo flip.

Ahh that’s why. Okay gotcha that makes sense. If I do switch, I’ll probably test both a bit more to see which I like using the best. I just booted the live usb and played around for a bit, testing things like touchscreen support and auto-rotate

also one annoying thing is that normally on windows, since my laptop is one of those flexy 2-in-1s, it auto-rotates depending on how you put it (like “tent mode” or “book mode”). On both KDE Plasma and GNOME, it doesn’t work. I guess my specific device isn’t supported? I can live with that though, I can rotate the screen manually and don’t realistically rotate the screen all too often.

Cinnamon with Mint is still great UI, it just feels slightly less modern in my opinion. Still much better than Windows with their pre-2000 UI once you go deep enough

I would encourage you to try to learn gaem development, it’s fun :D I’ve personally tried Unity and Godot and prefer the latter bc it’s oepn-source and I like the workflow but both are good.

Brackeys makes the best Unity tutorials and he’s starting to make some pretty good Godot ones too. My first games were pretty much following along the Brackeys tutorials and then trying to extend the game by adding more levels, gimmicks, etc. and learning a bunch of new things along the way. Some more Godot specific tutorials I like are GDQuest and HeartBeast.

Good luck on your game development journey! :D

music is good :D
