Anybody that already has had a computer for 2 years and is coming from Windows will have almost no problems with Mint. Stability is top priority for first time Linux users and you need some visual guide with screenshots. Mint also has a great default look and setup for people coming from Windows. Mint is probably the best distro to put on your mom’s old laptop that is “getting slow” because of viruses.

I’d recommend KDE Neon or Ubuntu also depending on the situation but if I don’t know anything about the person and computer I’d say Mint.

Because most self hosted things are free already. It doesn’t apply to FOSS.

I mean, if you’re really good at SQL these requests are doable in 10-30m + the time it takes to run and export.

Warhammer TW 3 “Native” mode sucks ass. Running Direct X on Proton is much better.

Fuck yeah, I’m really hyped about getting some solid ARM support. I want that battery life.

Apple is from the walled garden of Eden.

And set the bar super low for other tech companies

Yes

It’s a command provided by the OS to distrotop between ublue distros. You can basically hop between silverblue, Kionite and Bazzite with a single command.

Silverblue and Kionite are both Ublue distros, one has gnome and other KDE. One nice thing is that you can just swap between gnome and KDE without breaking anything via rebasing.

I’ve been running Bazzite based on silverblue on my desktop for remote gaming and dockering. Everything was amazing until I started doing some mid-level docker stuff because of the rigidity of the distro.

Podman largely works but since it’s rootless it won’t have access to mounted drives easily due to SELinux.

Mounting a drive automatically wasn’t intuitive either and I ended up editing the /etc/fstab manually.

Setting up a swapfile was also tedious, I needed more than 8GB so I made a 32GB swapfile but I still had to run a sudo command on startup since I’m not really confident with creating a systemd service on an immutable distro.

All in all I should have just gone for Nobara or a regular Fedora but that’s because I have a really edge use-case.

That being said I still highly recommend it. It’s stable, easy to “rebase-hop” and everything just works well and it’s very stable. I’d recommend it for pretty much anyone unless you’re going to do some heavy self hosting with multiple HDs.

You do the entire process with OBS studio. Is case of gaming there might be some limitations such as graphics or Internet.

Graphics would need hardware acceleration to not take CPU usage. But to avoid using up GPU I would recommend using the embedded graphics if you’re able to set it up so the game uses GPU and OBS the embedded GPU.

Underpromise overdeliver

This is why you should always visualise and multiply by 4 when people ask for an estimate. If someone gives me a ticket that’s expected to take me 1 day I’ll let them know it’s very likely not going to be done in 1 day but rather 4 which I’ll finish comfortably in 3.

Ranking devs is toxic though

You can always reinstall Windows and the license is registered to the motherboard so it’ll be fine.

You could alternatively buy a hard drive and keep your entire windows system for later just in case. :)

Those are nice. Services that manage data are an example. Having the class also declare how to interact with the data is nice.

My most OOP pattern I like using is implementing an interface with an abstract class for “standard” implementation. Then implement abstract methods for a concrete thing.

And maybe you have some functions that interact with them but don’t keep them super public so they’re only used by specific modules/store/redux thingy?

Using classes is nice tbh. Using inheritance usually isn’t. Inheriting from inherited class should be forbidden.

But you have used objects I think.

Buying a used desktop is very nice for these things. You can set up a steam gaming thing.
