GIMP is still missing a way to draw a circle without some convoluted method. It won’t work for my needs currently.

Paint.net for Linux. Most of my experience with making art digitally came from paint.net and there’s not really a good alternative that doesn’t require me to recreate my workflow from the ground up (Krita).

Pinta is technically an option, but it’s missing many of the features that modern paint.net has.

For now, I have to make do with a VM to run it.

I like the snoopy wallpaper as well. I’m glad your parents seem to enjoy it (the wallpaper and the computer lol).

Also, why is there a toothbrush on the right?

I mainly use Kleopatra with a dedicated passphrase for it.

KeePassXC (Desktop) and KeePassDX (mobile). Offline, local-only password manager. There’s also a Firefox browser extension for it too.

If you need it to sync between devices, Syncthing gets the job done by syncing the DB file.

I don’t trust any cloud solutions. You’re trusting some random company with your passwords. Data breach is inevitable.

Might be something with upstream? Just speculation on my part. Wish they would post some type of update.

I didnt know that. Apparently there are formating options for SponsorBlock in yt-dllp directly. I don’t know how you would set that up with FreeTube though.

I’m sticking with the plugin since it’s as simple as building it and copying it to the scripts directory, and it comes with a simple config.

Probably the same reason many people use it:

Heard about it from someone/online --> tried it in a VM --> Tried it on real hardware --> Liked it enough to keep it/ditch windows partition if they dual-booted.

In my case, I started with Mint in 2023 and eventually distro-hopped to ArcoLinux (RIP) then Arch (BTW). Trying out Endeavour now as my Arch-Arco install is a mess and I’d like something similar to Arco.

Oh as for the reason why: Sick of Microsoft’s shit and didn’t want to downgrade from Windows 10 to 11.

Send me back to the 90s with the flip phone. Old Nokia with a changeable battery, no malicious firmware that has spyware built in. It’s just a phone.

Hello, World!

Pretty good. Some games have issues on Linux, especially some that don’t have native controls for DualShock 4 controllers and not using Steam Input. Even the ones that do sometimes dont work without Steam Input on (which shows XBOX buttons).

I’ve only had actual crashes with Forza Horizon 4 and 5 on Linux. Everything else works fine.

Distro is Arch Linux (BTW).

As to why I swapped, I get better performance on Linux than on Windows.

Is there a big cost with self-hosting, like bandwidth or storage, or is it generally fine?

Ensure you present your arguments in a way that doesnt make your recipient seem like a bad person because of their belief.

Louis Rossmann made a good video on activism and how to get someone to care about something.

For my classes, certain ones required Visual Studios, but for the most part, you can just run that in a VM (or use JetBrains substitutes if you can). However, if you’re doing game design or development, a VM might not preform well unless you have a GPU passthrough setup.

ArcoLinux ArchLinux (BTW) because I love tinkering with computers.

Finding ways to automate tedious tasks is the fun part of the challenge. Scripts, systemd services, bash aliases are a great skill to learn. (Especially bash)

Also I’m too used to pacman and AUR to go back to APT.

Pacman /w chaotic-aur, otherwise AUR with yay

Typo in the first sentence.

Should say “Qt nice is here!”
