I would say don’t overthink the distro. Just about any distro will provide nearly the same performance in gaming, some will just pre-install drivers that you could just install manually. Proton takes care of just about everything automatically anyways.

I enjoyed installing arch as it was a learning experience, and I learn more every time I install it on other machines. But Ubuntu would probably be just fine and has a ton of documentation, and a healthy community to provide support.

I think a lot of Linux newcomers get stalled on this choice because the options are overwhelming. There are so many choices. But at the end of the day once the installation is over, the experience will be almost the same as another distro with the same desktop environment.

If you want to run Linux, choose an distro that is easy to install and just dive into it. If you like tinkering with computers then you will love running Linux.

Why wait? Linux has never been better. I have tried to daily drive various distros for the better part of a decade and have just recently (about a year ago) settled in Arch and have never looked back.

Tbf most Canadian grade 9 teachers skip it.

I teach this to my grade 9 class in Canada. It’s on the curriculum.

All vectors will be bitmaps when displayed on a screen.

[–] [email protected] 73 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah but sometimes you want a circle in a bitmap.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Well it’s still a good idea to have shapes saved as vectors in a bitmap program. So resizing doesn’t affect the shape.

Have you tried photopea?

Yeah, I’m pretty sure a huge proportion of Lemmy users on the self hosting community run Linux, kind of a swing and a miss advertisement in these parts.

How is this news? This news the plan all along, they were quite vocal about it. Free to play games are always funded by mtx.

I know this is an unpopular opinion here but I think the game looks dope, having followed development since the beginning. The animations look sick and I’m always there for another skateboarding game. I just won’t buy any skins.

I know right. Elden Ring looks so damn good but there’s no way I can get into it at that playtime.

I dunno. I game less and less every year. I think I’ll probably just play the odd n64 game by the time I retire.

 

I’ve been thinking of switching from btrfs to zfs but it seems like it’s quite a bit of work. Does anyone have any experience with this?

 

I’m a teacher and our division just “upgraded” to W11 with a new version of outlook that is basically a web app on desktop. Several times a day my laptop comes to a complete crawl while Teams decides to open itself. Can’t open or close programs, Firefox won’t register mouse clicks, nothing. Graphical glitches appear al the time with menu bars and task bars disappearing regularly, requiring force quitting the app or logging out of the desktop.

When I first switched to Linux I assumed my experience would be like this. But now it’s the other way around.

Rant over.
