It's on my list but I was not in the right head space when I started it. Currently loving animal well but I think tunic will work perfectly after I'm done with animal well!
Quick tip to add to all the other advice: if Linux give you a warning, please read it carefully. Its not windows where you can safely blow through warnings. Otherwise, use it and enjoy!
Just started animal well myself. Seems extremely solid so far. Excited to see what else the game has in store. Also has me excited to see what else big mode releases in the future if this is the bar of what they'll publish.
Thanks for elaborating. I essentially don't use amazon so I'm not familiar with their newest shitty practices. This is obviously very anti consumer, I just failed to see it as explained in the article
I don't mean to support amazon in this, but the article outlines them promoting their own products over others? Unless the buy box implies something other than "we would like you to buy this", I dont really understand the issue with that particular point
I find storm light archive very difficult to pivot from. Mostly the prose used is gets so out of your face that you can focus on just consuming the story rather than the words.
I also found cradle by Will Wight sticking with me seeing as I read all 12 books in a month so I became quite familiar with the world and the characters
Something to keep in mind is that Linux doesn't have the same hand holding as windows. By all means make the switch but do not run sudo commands you don't understand unless you're comfortable debugging or reinstalling your system.
I learned that the hard way, though I was more than happy to just reinstall and try again. If Linux gives you any warning, please pay attention instead of ignoring like you would on windows.
I think mint is a great choice and I've installed it on my laptop recently and its been working very well. I'm no expert but hopefully if you have any questions I can help you out.
I played hl2 a long time ago (at least 10 years). It was a really good game when I played it and I suspect it will stand the test of time for a long while still.
That said, its not Something I'm especially interested in revisiting personally
Linux mint Debian edition. I just wanted to properly try cinnamon since I know GNOME isn't for me and I really like KDE. Other options strike me personally as mostly just downgrades to KDE. It's been very easy, absolutely nothing to complain about.
And the best part is I don't update 2000 packages every time I use it lol (it mostly sat in a drawer collecting dust).
I don't know that there's really much difference use wise aside from the lack of updates. Everything largely looks and feels the same. Debian doesn't have YaST obviously, but I never actually used my laptop enough to appreciate it so idk what I'm missing out on there.
No harm in trying stuff out, especially if you don't use your laptop much like I do.
I also started with tumbleweed in December, but it didn't play nice with my desktop for some unknown reason so I switched to Fedora. Also didn't make much sense to run a rolling release on my laptop so I just moved to Debian on the laptop and it's been great.
I hope you enjoy your experience. Plenty of very helpful people here and forums to find answers to questions you might have later down the road (or tomorrow if you're anything like me).
I made the switch at the start of the year out of curiosity. I had worked for QNX as a student and though that I should have had a better understanding of the system, so I started using WSL for all my programming.
Then joined Lemmy in the summer and that increased my interest in trying it out full time. I was also getting increasingly disappointed with Windows pushing updates for Win11 and features like onedrive.
I've been super happy with it so far. I've gotten way more familiar with my OS and it's been such a huge shift in perspective for me to be able to shape the way the OS works to my workflow rather than the inverse.
Wondering if anyone has an alternative to cursr. That's really the only thing stopping me from making the switch to Wayland full time. I use to make my 2 displays that are different resolutions play nicer
I find that while the difficulty is there, its extremely forgiving in that you can create save points effectively at will so it doesn't feel like too much of a chore most of the time
