Personally I’ve come to hate main because it breaks habits easily. I’m working 75% of the time on master repos, but then I might need to do a quick edit on a main repo and suddenly my git checkout master doesn’t work.
Or even copy pasting scripts from one project to another can easily break if you forget to change the branch
The reason behind the change is pretty stupid anyway (I’m against slavery but it shouldn’t be treated like a slur still)
Personally I don’t like unit tests. I’d rather have debug asserts and larger scope tests.
But using unit tests as debugging is near too
Ignoring the AI stuff, I don’t even get the joke.
Steamos is a great introduction… If you touch desktop mode of course.
Personally I recommend Linux mint, or even KUbuntu or Cinnamon Ubuntu (gnome is not meant for windows refugees so better not show it yet)
*Except for beginners
Try a beginner distro, and when you’re done with the tutorial, go ahead and install your arches or nixes, IDC
The only driver I need is the proprietary NVidia drivers, but you need to do it on Windows as well so… Eh
True. Doesn’t solve the other issue tho. Heck, I work on rust a lot, and rustrover is free
NGL I’d use jetbrainz products more if they weren’t that pricey and more portable
I don’t know much about it either, but one thing for sure is that Lemmy.world is too big. If the admins would go rogue, a big chunk of the user base will be affected.
I know I’m kinda part of the problem, but I’m too lazy to switch
I was a Nobara user and I’ve gone back. Too many updates that Bork the DE/bootloader (TBF it’s not as maintained as AUR) As for fedora… Random NVidia update borked the system too… But I’m resigned as my GPU being cursed rather than the distro being the isue
Uh!? I’ve been lied to! Editing comment for clarity
You may want to tell your friend to check it now!
I got mistaken. See replies for explanation

Apt: get whatever is in the cached package list
Apt-get: lookup the package to see the latest version and get that one
Unless you always apt update, apt-get is the go to choice for modern day Linux
There’s also the apt-apt command, who triggers any audiophile to start complaining about mainstream music quality these days
Big “don’t help just film” vibes here
You guys managed to run it?!
Personally I always used my leftover windows partition to update Genshin, then use steam to run the .exe
What game do you play though? Kinda curious if honkai 3rd is finally running on linux
Well true but that ain’t native.
Also, great exemple: blender launcher. I work with multiple versions of blenders, and it’s a must have.
I was more interested in using it as a server os, so I used it for mine… But would go to a classic Debian as soon as I need to rebuild the whole os due to some breakage. As a docker box? It’s fine.
Flatpaks are actually mutable. Appimage no idea.
I did that once… Because a script I worked with was hardcoded for it and was distributed as a binary…
