well, i3 never failed me, compared to a bit buggy kde experience

Works, but it definitely is not a solution for everyone. There are people who live in areas where it is too far to ride on a bike (and slow) and using public transport takes 2-3 times longer than by car. Especially some areas near cities.

Just to put it out here. Termux has proot-distro that allows you to run qite a few distros as containers. Technically not a VM afaik. I find it useful, because it is sometimes simpler to wipe that instead of reinstalling Termux.

I usually go with Krita. Not because of the UI, i just learnt to use it first and like it. Or Inkscape for vector graphics.

Try it out with Daggerfall Unity. I heard a lot good about it. There is a way to have Steam still track your playtime with custom launch command.

To be completely honest, I don't consider any name to be bad. 

You may say AxCx is terrible name, but once you give them a listen it exactly fits the name. Same goes for Hijokaidan, who are actually named based on one of fan's suggestion claiming that "escape staircase" suits their sound more. Party Cannon is absolutely hillarious imo, when you look at the logo and the sound. Brojob also has a name that fits their lyrical themes.

In some cases the name may come out a bit lame, but bad names? Nah. I don't consider any name bad, most of them sound either fucking epic and/or hillarious when you look at the full picture.

Come on, let musicians have some fun.

Try brightnessctl. If it does not recognize it, go with some tape I guess.

A Macbook Pro 2016 user here (MacOS and EndeavourOS dual boot)

KDE: some menu options freeze, can't change keyboard layout

Me: slow transition towards i3wm, write some basic scripts to get what I want working

it took it like 7 months to finally have issue: dbus timeouts when launching some applications

Reinstalled and it works. Well has some issues, like audio and wifi take effort to get working.

Also I find Flatpaks a headache to work with. Easy to set up, but I would consider it rather messy.

I still kinda use MacOS. Would I recommend? Yes, but under specific circumstances. You may need to buy some software. I can get what I want with Homebrew (unless you --no-quarantine it verifies the apps after each update). Is kinda plug and play system when going from Apple to Apple, but in terms of customizability and functionality Linux is superior. Also newer MacOS is awful when it comes to storage. I don't even know how it is possible for it to take so much space with it magical bits I don't need neither want and can't delete. Also get your wallet ready, since older Apple products lose support and you can't simply upgrade your OS (technically can with some effort), so you can buy a new Mac. And I can tell you that it sometimes gets annoying when you can't install things just because OS version. MacOS is not meant for much gaming neither for people that want to use it for development, it is possible, but harder thanks to its dir structure. Also it is harder to make MacOS builds and get proper scaling on retina displays (some apps get blurry). Also Mojave is the last OS version to support 32 bit (rip gaming). No Steam Proton. And you can't just disable external monitors unless you unplug them (great for my modular setup with more than one machine and one monitor), which I find really inconvenient. The monitor is multi input but my notebook is stil outputting to that damn display and prefers it for launching applications on there. Meaning I can't work on it without either this pain or disconnecting it with one utility I found that has an issue on github that you can't reconnect the monitor unless you reboot. Also why can't I set a 60Hz monitor to 60Hz and 30Hz is the maximum? (can do on Linux with no issue)

And did I mention I tried to run Krita on my MBP and it sounds like a jet? Yea, performance is sometimes great on weaker MacOS devices

So yes, go buy that awersone Apple computer, but don't expect it to work flawlessly. There's plenty of little details that in the end mess up your day and user experience.

I mean, if you have money for the newest Msomething macs then sure buy one, but if you want to buy older, look for those that can run Linux with decent hardware support, or you'll regret your purchase.

Also, if you plan to put it inside during the print, try to preheat any metal you want to use. But make sure the heights roughly match, because the plastic will cool slower and distort more.

Currently studying Computer Engineering. I did manage to get most stuff working without needing Windows.

It came usually at the cost of extra work, but I'd say it was worth it. So far I even got to writing makefiles for C++ projects targetting some Atmel chip (Microchip Studio is Windows only). And in some cases I even found better tools than what they privided us with.

Unless you need some very very specific program or run into some wierd constrains you will be fine.

I mean, trying to implement stuff yourself is great for learning. Only once you are confident enough it is worth contributing.

The switch or dual boot is up to you. I can lay out some general steps in case you want to have an overview. Please do not be scared off by it. Depending on the distro, most things work out of the box or with very little effort.

1. familiarize
   • look up some distros, I personally like to go Arch-based, but feel free to use whatever seems good and popular enough (please no Ubuntu)
   • try virtual machine and then live ISO
2. verify compatibility
   • this one is a bit more work, basically try all functionality in the live ISO, or at least things like display, mouse, keyboard, touchpad, Wi-Fi, storage
3. install
   • you probably won't need to look into this super deep, default installers handle this pretty well
   • formatting and partitioning (look into ArchWiki guide, you probably don't need swap partition)
   • if you are going to be reinstalling look into using efibootmgr to possibly clear up old and fix existing boot entries (i had to enable boot flag after setting up dualboot, because macOS installer overwrote the previous settings, thanks Apple :-) )
4. configure missing/not working OS stuff
   • look for missing drivers and system management software for either your specific hardware or some more general ones
   • best sources are wikis like ArchWiki (even if you don't use Arch), forums and some software search sites like AlternativeTo
   • in some cases the software does not meet the requirements for a wiki page to be up (Xlibre being notable example - feel free to look up the whole story)
   • you may have to put some time into getting GPU fully working, since nvidia has several driver options depending on the GPU
   • I personally had to fix USB autosuspend config, only look into it if devices plugged in after boot are not being detected
5. use
   • installs and updates are done using package manager (windows has winget, btw)
   • for windows games use Wine or rather some of its forks
   • most people here already shared their recommendations for this part

I agree that LibreTorrent may be buggy at times but is by far the best tool for torrents on the platform. Also Aria is great, but not as a torrent client, but as a download manager it easily beats most other tools that I've used as a replacement of the default mechanism (especially the speed is incomparable, when you can increase number of connections).

True, but I do like the idea of having laptop as main device and for calls just a smart enough input device/extension with a screen that connects to the laptop wirelessly. For instance foldables are just an attempt to find middle ground between phones, tablets and laptops. Sometimes worth it, but thinkpad is always cheaper and more serviceable.

Good job. I kinda feel like it needs a bit more textury look. And a ton of gradients.

The fact that there is this section in the README even though all the code has docstrings and you can generate the docs is certainly interesting.

FreeCAD, runs on a damn potato. Fusion bakes it into charcoal instead. At least that is my experience on a kinda low-end laptop.

I can recommend trying it. Used it on my MacOS installation. Free version works great, but I felt the need for some paid features sometimes (more convenient workflow). But you can totally get job done with the free one just fine.

I play with it sometimes, kinde like some of the syntax, especially regex and ;. I tried doing regex with sed when working on one personal script, but was getting errors way too often everywhere. Perl did what I wanted in a few lines and gave me desired output, so I just used that.

Imo, it doesn't really matter what you use for writing code for your personal use as long as it works. : )
