I have opinions. Some of them are terrible. For this I am sorry.

GTKMM is also GTK–
GTK is the GIMP Tool Kit
GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program
GNU is GNU’s Not UNIX
UNIX is UNiplexed Information Computing System
Ergo: GTKMM stands for G(NU’s Not Uniplexed Information Computing System) Not Uniplexed Information Computing System Image Manipulation Program Toolkit Minus Minus.
GNU is a recursive acronym representing GNU’s Not UNIX.
UNIX is a modified acronym representing UNiplexed Information Computing System (UNICS)
G(NU’s Not Uniplexed Information Computing System) Not Uniplexed Information Computing System
Wait I need a copy of that one on unexpected wobbling in non-wobbling systems, I need to up my ksp game
I’ve noticed that AI slop articles tend to have a a TLDR right before the table of contents. I’m an aquarist and they’ve made it damn near impossible to get good info on fish, taking the first few pages of results before I get a forum post with useful info.
Nvidia just works unless you have a some weird obscure hardware combo. It’s been like this for over a decade. Nvidia’s reputation is because their code is shit, their processes are shit, and they lack feature parity from windows that their competitors have shown isn’t an environment limitation (like changing the amount shared dram used as vram).
Tips: Your distro maintaindr already did the hard part, get the driver from them instead of nvidia (unless you’re on Debian, then you’re on your own).
If you are on debian (or any of the other rare distros that don’t package the nvidia driver for you) and using xorg, back up your xorg.conf because the nvidia installer will modify it and the new one may not work. If you’re not comfortable using the terminal, make sure you take note of the location of your xorg.conf to minimize time spent there, you will need it though.
If you’re on a normal distro, it’s usually just sudo <PackageManager> <install flag> nvidia or sudo <PackageManager> <install flag> nvidia-open
Godus lived up to the hype til the scaled it back to hit the mobile market then immediately stopped development after making the older more finished build unavailable. It was a genuinely good game. Was.
It is ethical to pirate Molyneux scams.
Consider yourself lucky, I’ve never seen a connector fail at a higher rate. The ports are the problem, they’re extremely fragile and often don’t grip the connection properly. For a particularly egregious example take a look at the DualShock 4
Nothing. Lunduke hates it because woke. His fanboys hate it because sheep.
Oooh what do you use for recoloring web pages?
I’ll take any opportunity to scream to the heavens:
“HDMI IS THE WORST CONSUMER STANDARD, ONLY USB MICRO-B APPROACHES ITS LEVEL OF JANK”
Lite Mode, Dark Mode?
Am I the only one using custom theming in their IDE? It’s like, what if gruvbox lite was green instead of orange. Green is calming, makes me feel like I’m in nature. Become one with the bugs and encourage them gently to leave your code alone.
This is a fantastic approach.
I wanted to learn web-dev so I built a blog and a web hostable 5e character generator. Ended up learning authentication, HTTP stuff, database management, and learned CSS and HTML to handle the frontend (backend is Python).
They’re not production ready, there’s not even a proper server built in, just a basic wsgi dev server, but I’m proud of it and it taught me a ton!
First it was for performance, OpenSuse back in like 2004, since then its just what I’m familiar with. I don’t feel like I need to fight the OS like I do on windows machines.
Sometimes I have to use windows in a VM or I need some Software that only works on 2000/XP (psxn00b sdk) and for that I have an old machine that I use.
Explore weird OSs! I got an old Celeron D workstation just for playing around with weird old operating systems.
Its got a 32 bit bios but 64 bit celeron, so the grub stuff has been fund 😅
Oh, well I mean, arson isn’t normally cute is it?
I’m not sure I understand the question
I used to watch Lunduke’s linux Sucks speech every year it came out. What happened to that guy? Was he always the worst and I didn’t notice til 2020?
My 2¢:
I think it’s gamer discourse bleeding out into other fields. Gamers need the newest libraries and the newest drivers or their stuff might not run as well as it possibly could, because gaming is a relatively young but aggressively growing field with the Linux ecosystem in general. Sure games have always been around, but it’s never been the focus.
Now that gamers are switching more frequently, and that the average user is likely to play a game occasionally, it’s becoming relatively important that packages be up to date for desktop workloads.
