Then some jerk runs rustfmt and ruins all your hard work!

I want less notifications.

I haven’t played with it much yet, but apparently Pandora is the new Nemesis. I can’t remember exactly, but you’ll probably need to install dotnet8 with winetricks.

Also, if you plan to use DynDOLOD, I found it wouldn’t run with Proton, but it did seem to work if you switch to standard Wine to run the tool.

Are you using Wayland or X? Do you see the same behaviour in both?

This is something that bugs me too. Its not completely broken but there are a lot of small issues assuming you can even get the game to run at all

Early access wasn’t successful enough? WTF did they expect?

Another example of why buying early access isn’t great.

I was looking forward to this game too.

Probably! According to Wikipedia you get 3-5 hours off of 6 AA batteries. Not sure how that changes with the TV tuner but battery life wasn’t great.

Yup! Also languages in the ML family and others I’m sure.

Nope. In Rust, a semicolon denotes a statement while a lack of semicolon is an expression so you can’t just omit them at will. This does lead to cool things though like if/else blocks being able to produce values if they end in an expression. But the expression type is checked so you’re less likely to make a mistake. You can see an example here: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/flow_control/if_else.html

In JavaScript I never skip semicolons because I’ve seen those subtle bugs.

Yeah, semicolons are ugly anyway and they’d ruin the beautiful expression of your code.

You can build a Steam Deck now?

It also works great as a replacement for RDP!

Lol just a different rendering engine. So easy!

Also wife bad

I have to use Windows at work, and I’ve found that just about everything I use on Windows has an equal or better equivalent on Linux. I find most of the time on my work computer I miss having Linux.

Except for music management… MusicBee is really great and apparently it doesn’t work too well with wine. There are a few applications that do manage a library but I’ve found they all fall a bit short when compared to MusicBee. I’ve taken to just and old time approach of managing music with the filesystem. I also use Audacious for a touch of nostalgia since it works with Winamp 2.x skins :)

I disagree with the minimal install, especially for new users. It’s probably easier to get going when everything you need is installed and configured. Once you know the tools and what you want, then go for the customization.

I’ve been using Linux for over 20 years and I still prefer a full install (EndeavourOS is my choice). I’d just rather spend my time doing anything else than manually installing every package.

Welcome! I think a big thing is to realize it is a bit different and try to stick with it a while you get comfortable.

I usually keep a copy if the original system file when I edit something. Basically things in /etc.

The Arch wiki is a great resource even if you’re not using Arch.

For gaming and the occasional Windows app, if I’m not using Proton through Steam I like Lutris. Over the last several years I’ve found Windows to be far less necessary though.

Also don’t be afraid to mix things installed from your distro’s repository with Flatpaks or AppImages. I use all three types of apps with no issues. I would avoid snaps if possible though. The last few times I tried them things just didn’t work well.

Clearly you’ve never read Hacker News. :)

Every point I’ve made has several threads on pretty much every Hacker News post about Mozilla or Firefox.

I was using Firefox when it was still called Phoenix, and I switched to Chrome briefly about 10 years ago when it was actually a bit better than Firefox. At the time, most people I knew in the tech sector were using Firefox. It’s Firebug extension was a major boost for development. Chrome was a bit better and their dev tools were even better than Firebug at the time.

I switched back to Firefox when I saw the direction Google was taking it, and I know a lot of other people did as well. Still, many people stayed with Chrome. There’s no shortage of comments on Hacker News about “I dropped Firefox because X” or “I tried to switch to Firefox but X”, where X is one of the things I mentioned.

Chrome got to where it was in no small part to us “computer people” saying it was good. And now not enough of us are saying Firefox is good. It breaks my heart to see so many young and smart developers choosing Chrome.

We’re heading back to the bad old days of IE dominance, with proprietary extensions, playing fast and loose with standards, and market dominance pushing for things that only benefit one company. ActiveX still gives me nightmares.

I’ve never understood the logic of people who switched to Chrome from Firefox.

Mozilla has an overpaid CEO, so let’s switch to a browser that’s run by one of the richest companies on the planet. Firefox broke some extension, so let’s switch to a browser that has an even worse extension model. Firefox shows client side ads that are easily disabled, so let’s switch to a browser actually run by an ad tech company. Firefox changed the UI to look like Chrome (and they hate the design), so I guess switch to Chrome?

It makes no sense…
