My school taught me C and Python for what that’s worth. It was not for software development per se though. It was for physical simulation. I don’t know if that was a departmental decision or a coincidence based on my professors.

I found it on this site under the “happy” category. https://github.com/delventhalz/kaomoji-analyzer/blob/master/source_mojis.txt

I hope not. I’m not ready for the year of the BSD desktop.

For some reason, it didn’t work on OpenBSD. I couldn’t install the file sets until I wrote the image to the flash drive normally.

I just installed Pop!_OS and kept the customization to a minimum. I don’t love GNOME, but I wanted Pop!_OS for the supposed better (easier?) NVIDIA support. I prefer KDE plasma, but GNOME works just fine. I would not be surprised if I ran into some issues in trying to change my DE. I do mess with Linux more sometimes, but I usually use a VM or some other machine for that. I don’t want to break my daily driver.

I got interested in Linux in college since it’s used a bunch in physics. I even tried it a bit on my personal laptop. Fast forward to the steam deck releasing and windows just getting worse and worse, I decided to go for it. So far it fulfills all my needs on a home PC. It did require some fiddling to make it work, but now the fiddling and troubleshooting are very minimal and occasional.

I was prepared for it (relatively speaking lol) because I had used it before. I did hop between distros for a bit as well before finally settling on Pop! OS since it’s Ubuntu based, and the support on forums for Ubuntu issues is ubiquitous. I do kind of miss open SUSE sometimes though.

That’s a good recipe for popular posts anywhere on the internet. Anger gets the clicks.

I’m not an expert by any means, but I mostly liked it. The included GUI tools for configuration and settings were nice, and it worked pretty well out of the box. I stopped using it because I got a little tired of having to repack the RPM package for Mullvad VPN, and I switched to something more mainstream. Sometimes I think about going back though.

AmogOS will sue them to oblivion.

I’m just hearing about them now. Do they make really tiny software or something?

I know it may not be an easy question to answer, but does your company really owe them money? I’m guessing that their other software that uses their JVM also has a license, so they should be more clear about the company having to license out the JVM in order to use it. This sounds like a scam that comes packaged along with some other software.

Until you encounter some weird glitch that needs to be fixed using the terminal. It happens maybe once every couple of months for me, but it still happens. Even so, I’m considering switching fully after windows 10 goes EOL.

Ohhh man I wasn’t ready for how nostalgic the screenshots would make me feel. My friend from school told me about Ubuntu and OSS for the first time, and he came over to my house so we could mess around with the live CD. That’s what Ubuntu looked like back then!

Coding requirements could be a lot less strict if we just solved this bus problem.

Every method has vulnerabilities. If you are concerned enough, you can take the legal route and the technical route to make attacking the system require different areas of expertise.

Yeah I’m skeptical. Having installed windows on a machine that I put together about a year ago, it was pretty straightforward. Yeah I needed to install the drivers, but that didn’t take long. Maybe windows 11 is much more tortured than 10 though, which is what I installed.

It’s undoubtedly nice during that step of the process, but afterwards you’re on a platform that may not be well suited to the purpose. It’d be better just to make the new account on an actual forum. Granted, I use Bitwarden now, so I don’t sweat making new accounts anymore.

This makes me wonder if there is a centralized system for forums. We have stackexchange already, but that’s really designed to be a question and answer site.

It’s not like there is a shortage of text editors on Linux. This is fine.

Can anyone give a layman an explanation as to what makes software like this unmaintained? It seems like it should be fine if it works and is still getting updates.

They could even bring back the Zune branding if they finally do it. It’d almost be poetic.
