My first distro was Mint. It's great for beginner Linux users, and it's pretty stable. It also avoids the Snap problem Ubuntu forces upon their users.
If you're looking for a more bleeding edge solution, I recommend Garuda Linux. It's Arch-based, and it has a bunch of game-related stuff already installed. It might be a tad less stable due to the Arch underbelly, but I personally like the package system (pacman) a lot more than apt. Also, you get the unmatched power of the Arch wiki when you're in trouble.
I personally think its the idea of "don't touch me or me and my gang gon' fuck you up".
At least that's what I see after watching newer rap music videos romanticizing old gang war concepts in newer popular hits. Then seeing shitty streamers doing the exact same thing the videos show.
I know it's not just rap stuff, but that's just the easiest example that comes to my mind atm.
I personally split gamedev into 5 separate hobbies:
conceptualizing
2d/3d rendering
music
programming
putting it all together
Then I rotate between whichever one I feel the most attracted to at the moment.
The hardest thing is to keep within your level. You're not a 1-man army who can make a Hollow Knight in a year. Start with small ideas and expand and remix them as you improve and/or find slaves. But definitely keep the big ideas somewhere bc you might accidentally make all the systems you need along the way.
From what I remember, it's much more difficult to accidentally leak memory in Rust. Combined with the drop-in compatibility with C and the somewhat more intuitive (imo) syntax, I can see its popularity as unsurprising.
I think the biggest thing is that there aren't really that many reasons not to use Rust.
Well one of those options affected my ability to connect to my monitor. The issue was not resolved though, and I don't feel like clearing my cmos again to see which setting exactly caused the monitor issue.
I took a short look, but all the slots were on auto. My options were all pcie gen 1, 2, 3, or 4. My motherboard is an ASUS TUF Gaming X570 Plus Wifi, and I'm not really sure if the 2 M.2 slots eat my 2 PCIE x1 slots or not.
The firmware package is the upd72020x-fw (AUR only) package which is required by the mkinitcpio-firmware package. I have tried reinstalling both packages using both pacman and paru in case one gave extra errors.
My Arch system stays on until a firmware package needs an update. Then i cry and scream bc it's only been a month since the last one. Also I just updated a bunch of those, so my system has not been on long.
My issue is that I can never remember "a couple more commands" for the life of me. And I use Arch BTW, so the likelihood of me needing those is a bit higher than usual.
He can be an asshole, but I believe finding bugs is part of his job.
Would you rather have him find them and complain to a community who might know what they could be, or someone else who will just complain and buy a MacBook instead?
If you're running an Nvidia gpu, then Linux Mint is great for not needing to deal with setup issues.
If you're going with an AMD gpu or no gpu at all, then i actually recommend Garuda Linux. It's Arch-based so you may need to keep up with the updates more often. But you'll get access to the AUR, a centralized* repository for just about every program you'll need to install. I personally find it and pacman easier to use than apt.
I kinda wanna try Gentoo just for the experience, but as someone who already uses Arch, I'm worried it will take up more of my time than my current setup already does.
