I’m a happy Linux user. The biggest problem with Linux for the average user is that you have to install it. Most people use Windows because it’s on their computer when they buy it. The average person isn’t going to distinguish between the hardware and the software. They see the computer and the OS as a package.

I don’t know about getting worse as you get older but this is my experience exactly. I didn’t use to have this issue.

Not at all! I appreciate the thoughtful reply.

Thanks! Do you find that you have a hard time picking things back up with this set up? I’m worried that I’ll forget a lot of the stuff that I cared about / strategy if I step away from a game like BG3.

Thanks for sharing that article. Fun to read that in general, and especially since it’s from a different culture.

On my gaming rig I run and love Garuda, which is also based on Arch. I’m technical enough to handle Arch but I don’t like having to search around a bunch to figure out which combination of packages I need to make certain things work. Garuda comes with a ton of stuff preinstalled, which makes it a lot less lean than Endeavour, but I think they generally make good choices for default settings (I love their Fish terminal setup), and things like Nvidia drivers and configuration backups through btrfs snapshots just work out of the box.

For gaming I think Garuda or Nobara are the best bets, personally.

Somewhere a dev in the real world is scrambling to fix the bug in the simulation’s physics engine.

Read this and chuckled and then realized I’ve got sheets in a pile on the couch right next to me.

I’ve never heard of this before. It seems useful. Thanks for the intro!

Fascinating to see these two come together on this. Rare to see cross-aisle collaboration on anything these days.

How does stylus support work? Are there good Linux apps for hand writing notes?
