I did History and Computer science and had no issues whatsoever. Most of my history work was LibreOffice writer saving to PDF or .docx formats. Printing, scanning, and using library wifi was always fine.

Computer Science kind of expected Linux, everything we did there was cross-platform already.

Built my first PC in High School from scraps. Decided to try Ubuntu 10.04 (current at the time).

I was very impressed with how much performance a free OS could get out of my awful hardware. Have been using Linux in some form as my OS ever since.

Thanks! This is probably the phenomenon i’ve been observing

Thanks!

Gnome seems to swap out default apps pretty often. Are the old apps getting abandoned? Or are they always jumping to the next cool new thing?

I dont think it’s a California poppy. California poppies have 4 petals of the same size and shape, evenly spaced on the flower. They also have thin, long, bifurcated leaves.

This plant has flowers with 5 petals, and they arent uniform. This flower has bilateral symmetry, but not radial symmetry like California poppy. Additionally this plant has broad short rounded leaves.

I think it’s some kind of violet. They look very happy, whatever you are doing is clearly working

i hide a treat first and eventually guide her to it

Laser pointer is a big help. With one of those, my effort is multiplied tenfold!

Why roleplaying aside? Isn’t that the game?

I find illusion spells to be fun, reasonably varied, and useful both in and out of combat. I cant say the same about most other schools.

There could be more variety sure, but i’d say that about every school.

The way you dress and carry yourself also informs the way different communities react to you. It’s not so much about fitting in as it is about not giving people red flags. Different communities have different red flags.

That’s my perspective coming from one of the more diverse parts of the Bay Area.

Why would the farmer hand them over voluntarily? A nice gesture sure, but it seems like there are more details to this story.

agreed

They arent stupid. The information is opaque unless you are an enthusiast.

99% of people have no interest in installing an operating system. They have no interest in learning about different types of software installation. That’s not stupidity, it’s just preference.

Until recently, the only Ps4 and Ps5 emulators were linux only.

This particular point cuts both ways and has for a while. Some emulators are Windows only, some (though likely fewer) are Linux only, and the vast majority are cross-platform

They absolutely do, but i’m sure you’d agree it’s a bit technical for most people

Edit: By technical i mean obscure, not difficult.

Until you need to install something that isnt on Flatpak. Then the flat learning curve suddenly becomes a vertical cliff :)

The author lost me when they showed the terminal command to install Nvidia drivers on Debian. Yes, it’s one sentence. That’s still extremely daunting to the vast majority of computer users. It undermines the author’s own thesis.

Linux is a better gaming OS for some (myself included) but there is still a small learning curve. It’s nowhere near as bad as it’s made out to be, but it’s not nothing.

I’d have softened the title and focused on the ways Linux shines as a gaming OS: compatibility with older games (1990-2010 in my experience) that dont work on modern Windows, the ability to get more performace out of older hardware, consistent behavior, and a much more pleasant desktop experience.

Windows is a better choice for many people, but Linux is just as good for many and a better choice for some.

She chatters at me conversationally. It sounds like one of the chittering sounds the Predator makes. She also does it when watching birds.

“Good morning Thistle”

very quiet meow, “Kakakakakaka” slow blink

Her timing is pretty good so it does sometimes feel like a conversation

Much like how crustaceans have repeatedly evolved into pseudo-crabs, Linux distros tend to evolve into pseudo-nix
