Truat me, you ro not want to experience CPU based rendering on high resolution displays

I bet the others already gave a lot of good advice, but there is one thing I wand to emphasize. The way in which you install software matters more on Linux than on any other operating system. You are meant to install it through your distros package manager, which you will most likely use through the software management GUI of your distro. Do not download any executables from websites directly, unless you are absolutely sure that:

  • They are made to work on your distro
  • They come from a trustworthy source
  • You have complete and up to date instructions on how to install them

Sometimes you might need to add additional repositories to your package manager, the same rules apply there. You might also run into things called Flatpaks and Snaps, these are universal package formats and another great option for installing software. Flatpaks work out of the box in a lot of distros. Number one rule there is to stick to things that are marked as verified, unless you have a good reason to trust them. These universal formats might be integrated in the GUI software manager too, this varies across distros.

If you follow those rules and keep your system updated, I don't expect you will have much trouble with Linux.

I applaud your bravery with Arch. Have some fun with it and don't worry if you break stuff. Keep your files backed up and you're golden! Even if you switch to a different distro later on, a lot of what you learn will translate 1:1.

Web 3 games are simply ponzi schemes hidden behind a super grindy game. As far as I know, none of these games actually produce anything of value from the labor put into them, so the payouts must come from new money entering the scheme.

I tries it a couple months ago and it was horrible, didn't even support flexbox back then and it kept crashing. The latest nightly builds are almost usable for basic web browsing though, it's amazing how fast servo improves

Psychiatrists in my area have long waiting lists, and most of them don't even have a website where I can look up if they know anything about ADHD. It takes a lot of willpower for me to get over my anxiety and call even one of them, and naturally it never leads anywhere. It seems like all my mental health problems are working against me making this appointment, and the psychiatrists aren't doing anything to help with the process.

I wish I could get diagnosed

Reading that really makes me want to give it a go. If swift's package management is anything like Rust or Go, I could see myself enjoying it

The USB spec requires one master and one slave device, which is usually decided by which type of connector each side has. USB OTG can bypass that restriction, but I've only ever seen it done with micro USB or type C.

The new UI and effects look stunning, but I'm concerned about the new corporate direction the project is taking

 

The steam launcher is a mess, and Valve refuse to fix it. Seems like they don't want my money then. I have no trouble with running pirated singleplayer games through Lutris, so I'll just do that instead.
