Windows@sopuli.xyz•[Question] Windows users, what's keeping you from switching?
2·20 days agoA lot of games are compatible through a program called wine, but you usually need some amount of skill in order to use it. Also consider Proton, it’s originally a program from SteamOS, an official Linux distro made by Valve.
Games using kernel level anticheat are almost never compatible even through wine and proton. I’m not into gaming though, that’s just what I’ve heard.
There is a music player called Astra, it is currently in beta, but it seems to be worth trying out.
For sure you should try installing Linux to a non-main PC, that’s what I’ve done too.

0·20 days agoI’d like to interject for a moment. While Linux can be indeed complex as a daily driver, Ubuntu is a specifically problematic distro. If you still consider using Linux, I would recommend trying Linux Mint, which is based on Ubuntu, but is more stable and doesn’t have snaps at all, only flatpak. Fedora also deserves to be mentioned, it has Atomic Desktop editions with important system components mounted read-only and a very straightforward update system with rollback option. For your case, Linux Mint Cinnamon edition is probably the perfect one, since it is dervied from Ubuntu and you won’t need to learn Fedora’s specifics. But don’t purge Windows, if you use apps you know no alternative on Linux.
It might be a very stupid question, but, does Gentoo handbook assume I’m preparing to install Gentoo from an already working Linux system?

Programming@programming.dev•Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language?
2·1 month agoWhen I say “serious” I mean something widely used and expected on the labor market, like C++ or Java. I don’t really know the world of programming very well, so I may misjudge some languages for being not serious easily. Particularly with Zig, I heard it being called a “vibecoder language”

1·1 month agoI remember people telling Zig was a “vibecoder” language, in the context of rewriting Bun to Rust. Yeah I know, a very odd kind of logic

1·1 month agoThe mine is configured to network time, but it is not syncing with my region, just the region having same offset from UTC (both have no DST anyway), may that cause any trouble?

2·1 month agoI’ve checked the website of xmpp dot japan, it has totally different certificates rn. Like, it has Google Trust certificate while the popup shows Let’s Encrypt and ISRG. Seems weird

1·2 months agoIt is sometimes significantly slower than Opera, which I’ve been used for years before. Not like for the whole time, but there are cases when I prefer Opera. I thought it was an issue with DoH but it was not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

1·2 months agoYeah I’m also using Waterfox but it sometimes just doesn’t work well enough, so I switch to Opera. So I’m kinda looking for something Chromium-based




It was not wrong - I literally could not remember what and in what order I had to write, although I did remember most of the general concepts introduced in the program.
The original code worked fine when I was simply rewriting it looking in the book
