for me the project exists because I thought “id like to play with <language> today” but not necessarily “I want to make a <platform> project”

Can you expand on this ?

for me I consider that a web project so it goes into the typescript folder, if it’s backend only then python

I boot my laptop. it takes seconds, the memory footprint is like 600mb

With sway everything feels snappy and insanely responsive.

I haven’t had any issues with arch on my laptop for like 5 years now.

Why would I use anything else ?

PowerShell is fantastic in practice but whenever I think of writing shell scripts I think of bash first.

Bash is a lot more pleasant to work with overall, the biggest concern most people have is that it can be cryptic. IMO PowerShell scripts can be the exact same kind of voodoo.

looks like they need a friend

while still functioning as a normal computer

Reminds me of when a school instructor walked by and looked at my laptop and he’s like “whoa what is that” (I had Firefox running) and I said it was Linux and he was like “whoa I didn’t know Linux could do that”

???

Yes, eng fr spa, mix all sorts of words together or use gendered words ungendered when using them in English

me getting games to work:

install cachyos install steam download game pick proton in compatibility options

what else are you all doing ? you can also add a non steam game and pick proton to launch it

I also use a 4070 (Nvidia) and haven’t had any issues

my audio works with an usb interface with 0 tweaking

PowerShell without the awful syntax

Hot take maybe but Linux isn’t for everyone, you gave it a fair shot and if it didn’t click with you then use Windows again.

If you want to keep trying then you already what you have to do: just be patient and try to learn how things work, watch videos etc

Don’t what that ? Then use Windows again. As a Linux user I appreciate that you tried, as most people don’t.

I use Nvidia on desktop and haven’t had any issues

I use arch and cachyOS

I’m not sure what people do that kill their system frequently, and I like to think I’m over-thinkering with things.

hmm I don’t consider that part of like config stuff although I get it’s a dotfile

I share my dotfiles, I don’t see anything intimate or personal in there. I share them because other Linux enthusiasts have asked about what to use or how I config it.

It’s in my GitHub but what I don’t do is share my GitHub publicly, mostly cause it links me from my shit posting social media where I’m too open about things, into the work and irl landscape.

I like to keep those things separate.

0 projects when I’m working full time. sorry but it just feels like work to me.

I use Ubuntu professionally and Arch at home

Anything that’s not Windows is my preference.

I love arch because I know what’s in it and how to fix it and what to expect, the community is mostly very nice and open to help

AUR is great and using pacman feels lovely

I also care about learning and understanding the system I’m using beyond just using a GUI that does everything for me

Ubuntu is not bad it’s probably one of the most used distros by far

Linux motto is: Use what you like and customize it how you like because there is no company forcing you to do things their way

Me pretty much only ever using arch Linux: “what the fuck is a flatpak”

I once had to install Firefox into wsl (Ubuntu) and I wanted the kms on the spot.

But maybe it’s not that bad for newer people to get started with Linux.

Something about the camera angle makes the cat look massive

We’ve created this hell for ourselves

Pretty much my experience on shrooms except not about ADHD but the heavy feeling of relaxation
