  • The question is mostly about what kind of gaming.

    Most single player experiences are no longer a problem because of steam proton, but multiplayer anti cheat and other AAA DRM is sometimes a windows only thing.

    Coding is just superior on linux. It’s the platform built by coders to make their own life easier for 30 years.

    You should dual boot, try it out for a few games and see how the dev process translates and get your feet wet.

    Setting up a VM is probably a lot more effort than just installing it.


  • a more boilerplate way to remove having to worry about designing the UI/UX so I could focus on [blank]

    Yes.

    In a way, it is super funny ironic / funny to me that we have basically no actual GUI standard. There is Qt, there is stuff with html/css/js, and the rest just lack tons of features.

    No idea how it works on windows tbh.

    Making a cli app? Sure, easy peasy, done in 5 mintues. Making a small GUI app? Strap in for 2 weeks of basics how this framework chose to solve certain issues.

    Disgusting. I don’t demand or expect them to rewrite their website, but those people are nowhere near even “neutral” status, as long as they behave this way.

    Certainly not allies or friends I would support.










  • idk, I’ve been using xubuntu for more than 10 years now, I’m not happy with absolutely everything, but the trouble I do have is definitely less effort to fix than learning a new, more elaborate distro.

    So, it’s a pretty good, common denominator, and as long as it keeps working it doesn’t really need to be anything else?

    I’m sure there are differences and niches that other distros fulfill better, but until there is a killer feature I’m interested in that only works on a specific distro or works extremely well on a different distro, I don’t see the “push” factor that would make me leave?

    (btw, that there is no “report bugs here” button that’s just built into the window manager (besides the -,+,x buttons) and takes me to project home pages or bug trackes is wild to me, on any distro as far as I know. Like they don’t want to interact with users? I don’t get it.)





  • It’s not that they are unfriendly.

    But they are 100% there to represent the company’s interest and not yours. If there is any way, to… turn a situation into something where the company gets more money out of it and you get less, it’s their job to make that happen.

    In theory they should have employee retention in mind. In practice, nobody does their HR that way anymore.
