you're too... powerful

i'ma.. go back and enjoy my drag & drop show

[round rose]

I'm probably biased since I've had prior experience with html

But yeah, writing xaml by hand is just easier and faster for me

[whole python]

If getting my laptop fixed , should I be concerned for my privacy if asked for my password ? is there any precautions I should take before handing it in ?

[latent scaffold]

if the drive is an HDD, there is some amount of speed that will be lost

[magic siren]

Depends on if you do anything illegal supposedly, but I'm sure most of the tech repairs would not look at your files and would just fix the laptop.

@whole python I would always check computer repair store ratings to make sure they are doing what they are doing.

[latent scaffold]

I doubt the competency of our local repair shops

One tried to tell me I didn't have an SSD

(I had an SSD)

[dire siren]

there was a news of a celebrity's r18 pics got leaked because he took his laptop to fix

[latent scaffold]

that happens a lot

[dire siren]

lol

[latent scaffold]

I saw one from an Apple repair store

[dire siren]

i wonder how much money will i get if i leak those

[magic siren]

that's bad.

[dire siren]

yep, then that guy disappeared

[magic siren]

people are crazy nowadays ngl, I don't trust businesses anymore in what they are doing supposedly "correctly"

[dire siren]

it was an old news

[latent scaffold]

tbf it's not the businesses

it's individual people

[magic siren]

right, again, people are crazy and no longer care.

[dire siren]

yeah. i really dont give a fuck with those, they can leak anything of mine. im not someone who requires positive image. not like celebrities

[latent scaffold]

ah yes. send over your phone

it is in need of deep repairs

[dire siren]

sure

[magic siren]

I never took any r18 photos and never will after seeing this. Probably a good thing. Dating is just stupid in my personal opinion.

[dire siren]

you can see my face there

[latent scaffold]

planning on it

I mean. I plan on repairing your phone

[magic siren]

I am not mentioning anything else on that topic btw

[dire siren]

send me your address. im going to mail to there

[magic siren]

you can have it all

[latent scaffold]

[bold moat]

[lucid holly]

What if they sold your info

[heavy pawn]

Does anyone notice any stuttering here?

[clear plume]

Do you think they're the only people who sell your data?

[lucid holly]

No

[tardy rain]

Im here with a public service announcement
Everyone go watch Futurama right now

[lucid holly]

Is that on D+

[tardy rain]

Yes

Used to be on Prime but they took it off the free tier

[lucid holly]

Ah

Sadly I have no D+

[tardy rain]

D+ is surprisingly the cheapest sub we have

Its like £5, prime is 7-8 and netflix is 9

[harsh tundra]

why now? what season/episode are you talking about?

[tardy rain]

I was just watching clips on youtube, no particular episode or season

[rough sapphire]

who has the right of way here?

my road test is next week, and i was in a situation like this yesterday while practicing and i hesitated and let the top car go before me

[latent scaffold]

the bottom car, I think

because it must've been there first, no?

[lost vortex]

ahh

Yeah, it's already in the middle of the intersection

[latent scaffold]

I'd think the top is stopped, there's no way it'd have the right of way there lmao

that'd lead to a terrible disaster

[lost vortex]

problem is when i was in the situation, the guy clearly saw me coming with my left signal on, but he still charged at me, so i had to yield to him

nyc drivers are the worst

just hoping i dont get those people on the road during my road test

[graceful basin]

Both should go at the same time and avoid each other such that each driver has the other car on right, at least that's how it works here

[lost vortex]

interesting.. I am gonna take about 3 more driving lessons and gonna try to do it again with a instructor present

[vapid nymph]

@shadow lily since #community-meta isn't the best place for continued discussion on matt parker's christmas tree, I love the math aspect and it makes me actually want to go back and learn more math ;-;

[shadow lily]

@vapid nymph good idea

the best part would have been the photogrammetry part but he didn't shared it this year 😦

[vapid nymph]

like, the idea of being able to throw a string of lights on a tree where the only requirement is every LED is individually controllable in order of how they are on the string, which surprisingly seems simple enough espcially when coding it any other way would be annoying...

[latent scaffold]

welp

I got like nothing done

wrong channel oops

[mild abyss]

thats me every year

[dire siren]

i dont really care about my info

if they can get it, they win

but i wont leak my personal info

[inland wolf]

guyd

erlang/elixir

[last mantle]

lol

[near bolt]

for c++
can I pass an array into a function?
it says

  int len = sizeof(arr)/ sizeof(arr[0]);```
this is my function 
```c++
void functionA(int arr[]) {
  int len = sizeof(arr)/ sizeof(arr[0]);
  int first = arr[0];

  for (int i = 1; i < len; i++) {
    arr[i - 1] = arr[i];
  }
  arr[len - 1] = first;
}```
im trying to make it like [1, 2, 3, 4] => [2, 3, 4, 1]

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cplusplus/cpp_passing_arrays_to_functions.htm

this page says there r three methods tho

[thin cloak]

Only one erlang fan i know.. works in Telecom

[topaz aurora]

Yes

Very standardized language

[inland wolf]

interesting

[magic siren]

Np

[wraith hound]

I have messed with it a little

Not bad

The concurrency model is interesting although I haven't played much with it

That fact that Discord does message sending stuff using that model should speak for itself, though

That's a lot of messages

To a lot of people

[gritty zinc]

actor model, right?

I should try making something with actix, it looks really nice and doesn't involve erlang

[inland wolf]

ikr

[odd sluice]

anybody have any idea

(Clumps doesnt need to be on client-side)

[wraith hound]

yes

hmm I wonder if I could use actix for this dead simple chat thing I'm making

would be fun

[gritty zinc]

one of the examples for actix is a dead simple client-server chat

they even have an example of a Python alternative client for it

[wraith hound]

o really

[gritty zinc]

https://github.com/actix/examples/tree/ed71f59fabc3bef9b61ffa6d8eefbe88d9bf3039/websockets/tcp-chat

[wraith hound]

thank you sir

I was going to go with Rocket, but the fact that it hasn't been committed to since late August concerns me

I like it more, but idk

[gritty zinc]

i should probably do something with actix just to wet my limbs in networking

what, tho

[last mantle]

what da cat doin

i want to tweak code in my repo but i need both the original and tweaked version. I do not want to make a new repo for it. do i make a new branch and continue?

[acoustic moss]

yeah make a new branch

[last mantle]

what would master contain

[acoustic moss]

the original, which presumably has code that currently works

[last mantle]

alright thanc

[tepid turret]

halu, can i get an answer from my question that "How on earth can you switch your operating system from windows 11 to ubuntu in BIOS settings, not virtual OS"

[latent scaffold]

You'll have to clarify what you're asking

You shouldn't have much to do with the BIOS

You let GRUB handle booting

[tepid turret]

boot?

[latent scaffold]

that's literally like its only job

[tepid turret]

welp i was almost getting it but this happens.....

[dapper dew]

Trying to Dual Boot?

iirc, you have to partition your drive and have the Ubuntu boot media saved on the partition to boot from, or on an external USB that you can boot & install from

[latent scaffold]

You must've modified your boot order in your BIOS

[tepid turret]

create one?

i have ubuntu.iso

[latent scaffold]

You want GRUB to be at the top

have you already installed Ubuntu?

[tepid turret]

i have the iso file

and i create another hard drive for ubuntu

which means 1TB - 500 GB for ubuntu

i use half of my storage

[latent scaffold]

so

you've broken something before you've even installed?

[tepid turret]

not sure, but i followed this guy tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5wElGrnUiI&t=235s

[latent scaffold]

oh

you're pretty much screwed

[tepid turret]

uhhh

[latent scaffold]

Two words of advice

1. Don't listen to YouTube for information regarding Linux

guides like this are usually filled with some form of BS

[tepid turret]

scam tutorial?

[latent scaffold]

2. You're asking for a stupid amount of pain trying to install without an external medium

[latent scaffold]

not necessarily, they're just like never reliable and full of misinformation or subpar in general

If you don't have an external storage medium, don't try to install a Linux OS

[tepid turret]

i have many USB here but i cant use them because its where i save my important files

[latent scaffold]

No offense, but I don't think I'd trust you (or even myself) to not mess up your computer's current partition scheme

[latent scaffold]

Simply transfer the files to your Windows partition temporarily

or use Ventoy, which allows you to store files along with bootable .isos

Installing without a storage medium is the worst way

and nobody ever does it, for good reason

[tepid turret]

sure i gues il use virtualbox crap, its a rip or RAM

[latent scaffold]

you'll have to reinstall the Windows boot manager

[dapper dew]

Or get a USB

[latent scaffold]

Even SD cards work

I installed openSUSE Leap with my Switch's microSD in an SD adapter once

[tepid turret]

so its better to use a USB?

[latent scaffold]

marginally better

[dapper dew]

I'm a fan of USB

[latent scaffold]

I need more emphasis on that

MARGINALLY better

[tepid turret]

indeed indeed, very understandable I'l make my choice

will format my USB

[latent scaffold]

You probably already borked something with your Windows setup

[tepid turret]

crap

[latent scaffold]

You're gonna need a Windows install disk

to repair the bootloader

[tepid turret]

I strongly agree I can format my whole laptop I can save my files via account

cloudstorage*

[latent scaffold]

I have a 64 GB flash drive loaded with Ventoy

and a couple of bootable isos

[tepid turret]

nice

[latent scaffold]

Once Ventoy's setup, all you do is drag and drop the isos into the folder

and you can boot into them

[tepid turret]

ho- how

[latent scaffold]

Ventoy

You can use it to store files, too

if you must

[latent scaffold]

gross. Kali

[tepid turret]

yep

my twin bro use it

[latent scaffold]

send him my condolences

[tepid turret]

sure

I'l try ventoy

which one?

[latent scaffold]

well if you're on Windows...

hazard a guess

[tepid turret]

zip?

sure

[latent scaffold]

the one that says Windows, yes

[tepid turret]

Btw is ventoy supported to older generation of operating system of windows? like xp,7,8

[latent scaffold]

operating system does not matter

ventoy doesn't operate on any software

[tepid turret]

right, il change my win xp OS later

class time in 10 mins see you later or tomorrow

[latent scaffold]

yup

[clear plume]

@young shoal where would I start with competitive programming?

[young shoal]

uhh, codechef has competitions like weekly

you can also try usaco which is more serious

also Google ones

[clear plume]

Also, what exactly do you do in competitive programming?

Is it just... programming fast?

[young shoal]

solve problems, yeah

usually speed is a component

[magic siren]

I am going back to the Star Trek convention next year and is hopefully getting an autograph from William Shatner 😄

@distant hazel can you read and edit my collage essay next year or whenever I get around to doing it 👉👈

[distant hazel]

haha yeah sure!

i might be out of touch though on what schools want

writing was my weakest point

[clear plume]

Haha me too, I hate it.

[young shoal]

just sayin, your school teachers will probably be much better

not that mina will be bad, just they will be better

[clear plume]

That's what I planned on doing first anyways

[alpine edge]

Is 66wpm okay?

[idle zinc]

Okayish

[rough sapphire]

Wow mina so you. English. Help too?

[alpine edge]

Now I know why. I see all the pro typers using all of there fingers without moving their hands, anyone else only use their index finger?

[rough sapphire]

lol if wanna train typing

write code without an ide

so no autocompletes

[thin cloak]

vi or vim

[alpine edge]

Yes but do you use only one finger or all

[rough sapphire]

all

[alpine edge]

Man

How did you learn to do with all of your fingers? I cap out at 70wpm with only one finger from both the hands

[rough sapphire]

idk

it just happened

[alpine edge]

did you start typing with all of your fingers?

[thin cloak]

I remeber a prof forcing students to use vi and I was his teaching assistant in a graduate course that used gcc

Many had trauma lol

[alpine edge]

Thats a good thing because I can never force myself

[thin cloak]

And they had to do numerical simulation with gcc

[wraith hound]

Woah. My max is like 80 with all.

[thin cloak]

A few actually cried to the prof and it was a graduate level thing these were adults lol

[rough sapphire]

really?

[wraith hound]

Yeah I'm a slow typer

[alpine edge]

Now I know my bottle neck but how do I transition to all fingers

[sterile grail]

how dare you?!??! coders should not be slow typers!?!??!?!?!

[sterile grail]

use something like typing club that teaches you how to use the home row and what not

[clear plume]

You will never make it in competitive programming smh

[sterile grail]

the people in comp are too good though, i was watching one of them for AOC and they were just typing seamlessly

[alpine edge]

Just looked at an image of someone doing it and I have tiny fingers, not sure if I can do with all

[sterile grail]

well I have tiny fingers too, I can do all of them just fine

[clear plume]

I also have tiny fingers but I have a 60% board so

[alpine edge]

whats that?

[rough sapphire]

I think there are also a few things that you can do to type faster

[clear plume]

actually nvm I have kinda long fingers

[rough sapphire]

Ctrl+Backspace deletes the whole current word

Oh, hey, I killed the conversation

I was trying it

lol

Oh

[alpine edge]

I think we were typing about typing foward like in type racer

[rough sapphire]

Fair

I kinda find myself making mistakes typing, which that shortcut helps with

[sterile grail]

til

[rough sapphire]

Nice

[alpine edge]

Ayy I just positioned my char and keyboard and this was the result frm only one finger, my pb

with 0 mistakes

[rough sapphire]

Oh, that's quite nice

yo so how does one get their first clients?

do we need like a portfolio type thing and if so how do we promote it?

[serene matrix]

thank you SOO much for all of your advice!! im a 14 year old in the US who has a bank account that i pay taxes on (i invest w/ fidelity and make a good bit of money via amc)

so i’ve definitely heard of upwork before, but there are so many people on there, how does one stand out from the crowd to get their first review?

im also really curious as to how freelance work will change the way in which i pay taxes and such

im trying to make a js calculator
it works but only the keyboard handler part doesnt work

window.addEventListener('keydown', keyboard);

function keyboard(x) {
    if (x.key >= 0 && x.key <= 9) {
        console.log(x.key);
        shownum(x.key);
    } else if (x.key === '=' || x.key === 'Enter') {
        evaluate();
    } else if (x.key === 'Backspace') {
        del();
    } else if (x.key === '+' || x.key === '-' || x.key === '*' || x.key === '/') {
        setoperator(x.key);
    } else {
        return true;
    }

}```

on the console it keeps showing undefined

[rough sapphire]

I don't think that code causes your undefined logs

Your only .log there is behind two conditions, both false assuming x.key === undefined

undefined >= 0 === false, undefined <= 9 === false

The full terminal

@dapper dew

[dapper dew]

Maybe the double indentation?

[fresh fog]

Line 2?

[dapper dew]

2 and 3

should only be indented once

But it is also weird your terminal is so small

[fresh fog]

Still nothing

Can't even print hello world

[dapper dew]

Is there anything that is compressing your terminal to the left like that?

[fresh fog]

@dapper dewNot sure

[dapper dew]

Try scrolling down in that window

Or pressing the trashcan on the right to kill that instance and try again

[dapper dew]

Nice

That looks like it is working the way it should

[fresh fog]

Ok dope

Why isn't it printing hello world tho

Ah

I think I got it!

Thanks so much

Now enjoy VS Code and its (simpler in my opinion but not that one guy) ease of use

They were starting out with PyCharm, I recommended VS Code

Someone strongly disagreed with me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Just the right ones lol

Anyways, I gotta go

[odd sluice]

i have to say while pycharm is simply bloated with features

it's ui is simple to understand

vscode needs some practice to get

[last mantle]

those "bloated features" are incredibly useful

[acoustic moss]

ikr

[wraith hound]

Really? I find it rather intuitive.

[odd sluice]

yes but to a beginner doesnt really make sense

also i have a potatopc and clicking any button just takes 1-2 seconds to complete

kek

[odd sluice]

yes

this was the word

[harsh tundra]

The problem is in your query. This doesn't like id passing for some reason (I don't deal with pure sql queries in my code, so idk why).
Second thing shows error with [] and not the query itself because query is not executed if you don't tell it to fetch.

Oh, I think I know. Try changing
.execute(query, id) into .execute(query, (id,)) - all examples show that parameters argument is a tuple, so you need a one-element tuple here (hence comma after id - (id) is just id, but (id,) is a tuple)

[manic storm]

ohh

my error was i forgot to do db.commit()

so the database wasnt updated

[harsh tundra]

which I thought was quite funny considering it sounded hispanic

[rough sapphire]

can bytes per sector be higher than 512

[vapid nymph]

what?

[rough sapphire]

What do you guys use, "a ! prefix" or "an ! prefix"?

More of a random question than anything

[acoustic moss]

"a prefix of !" maybe

[rough sapphire]

That kinda sounds okay, too

[frail badge]

"a exclamation mark prefix" "an exclamation mark prefix"
id go with the latter

[rough sapphire]

That's one of the things that I was thinking

The thing is, "a ! prefix" doesn't look all that incorrect for me, and I don't know why

[wraith hound]

that's probably reading style

if you say it out loud, it'll sound wrong

but when you (well, me) read in my head, I understand what it is without saying the sounds

[rough sapphire]

Yeah, that's also the case for me

I guess I'm curious whether someone that reads the phrase 'a !' in their head and "imaginarily sounding" the phrase out would think it looks incorrect or not

[lavish talon]

hey guys

I have a question regarding the Python bot

if I put some banned word(or code without ```) in my message, then I get a message
from the bot

If I update my message according to the rules, then bot deletes its message.

How does that work?

[dire siren]

!src

[royal lake]

Bot's GitHub Repository

Repository

Go to GitHub

[frozen coral]

we delete messages if we find a non-allowed invite link, a blocked url, or an everyone/here ping

We do this by listening for message & message_edit events from the Discord websocket

[lavish talon]

No. I was not talking about that. For example if I do

print("hello world")

🤔 Well, the bot generally gives a message like "Seems like you pasted a code..."

idk why its not giving it now

[frozen coral]

AH, that's if you're adding lots of code it'll delete and suggest you use a paste server

there's also one if you don't use python code highlighting

That is also using message and message_edit events fromt he websocket

[lavish talon]

oh

[frozen coral]

The logic for that is here https://github.com/python-discord/bot/tree/main/bot/exts/info/codeblock

[harsh tundra]

It can be read as bang (think shebang #!, apparently the name bang comes from 50s, there's also interrobang -?!, or more specifically ‽). So yes, "a bang prefix" is correct.
With @, it's "an" only from me because there are no alternative forms how to read it (I haven't read the linked stack yet)

Okay, the stack says basically the same thing - that if it has multiple reading methods, then both may be correct. But at is at, so an at

[inland wolf]

shebang

!

[tepid turret]

How can you enter Boot Menu on Asus without going on BIOS settings because I just installed the Ubuntu OS on my USB Drive

[harsh tundra]

Shebang is #! line. Sometimes called hashbang but shebang is more used for it

[inland wolf]

yes

[dapper dew]

Hold F8 after getting to Bios? https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1013017/ Not sure off the top of my head

[tepid turret]

after you turn on your computer, i saw in YT vid pressed Esc button and went to boot menu but mine just continuesly boot to my main OS 😦

let me try the link you send 🙂

be right back

As a pro-tip, avoid Linux tutorials on YouTube. They're usually very outdated, carry misinformation, or generally just terrible quality

[slate kite]

hello mr hemlock

how are the kids.

and how is yourself doing.

[rough sapphire]

That's also true; From my experience, DuckDuckGo uses the ! character as a prefix for their bangs feature, so yeah

[latent scaffold]

there's also ‼️ and ⁉️ lol

Hi guys im back, I got the ubuntu now 😄 but BAD NEWS 😦
My windows 11 OS is deleted from the bios settings, when i was doing the setup installation on ubuntu 😦

I was almost done

but

this damn installation counter

It was my first time using ubuntu

anyone?

[latent scaffold]

your USB might've disconnected or something

or if you're using an HDD perhaps it's corrupted

[tepid turret]

;-;

my usb limits upto 10 GB

crap, i gues i need a big storage of USB

rip moneh moneh

or

Il format my Hard drive (windows hard drive)

[latent scaffold]

that should be fine

did you delete the /efi partition?

if so, rip windows

Are you trying to make your own or are you trying to use one

[tepid turret]

yep 😦

ALL MY USB ARE CORRUPTED BUT BIG STORAGE

[last mantle]

yeah i dont think you are getting windows back again

[tepid turret]

yes

I wanna die right now

[last mantle]

idk tho check the net

[latent scaffold]

how've you managed this

there's an "Install alongside" option in Ubuntu

[tepid turret]

there is Ubuntu LTS I was trying to install, and that makes it installation counter

is it fine not to install the LTS?

[tepid turret]

Theres a way to get windows, but im just old at it, so i moved to linux

[lavish talon]

I am trying to make my own in C

[latent scaffold]

uh... you wouldn't really make much in C, it depends mostly on your PS1 var

[latent scaffold]

You'll eventually have more problems on non-LTS

[tepid turret]

;-;

my charger is plugged in but says not charging wow, ubuntu be drunk

[latent scaffold]

did you tick the "Install additional software" box during install

it installs drivers

[lavish talon]

yea. But prompts like starship can also show the git branch and all. How do I do that?

[latent scaffold]

Are you writing this for fun or for practicality

[tepid turret]

not sure

[lavish talon]

For fun, mostly for getting more familiar with C

[latent scaffold]

well C will probably end up being one of the worse languages for doing this

[last mantle]

man

lol

[lavish talon]

why?

[latent scaffold]

since like 99% of prompts are written in sh

[tepid turret]

screw it, Il move to kali

[last mantle]

bruh

[latent scaffold]

uh... that's now how that works

[tepid turret]

is kali more difficult?

[latent scaffold]

What's your reason for installing Linux, again?

[last mantle]

wow this is the first time i have heard you say this

[tepid turret]

Welp im getting old at windows, and the first time i move to ubuntu linux, i have more problems because installed the "LTS" ISO when im still on windows 11, so yea, il try kali

[lavish talon]

thats like an everyday thing for me. I have to unplug and plug again. I think its a gnome issue because it didnt't happen in Manjaro KDE

[tepid turret]

social engineering

[latent scaffold]

I myself would probably suggest just using something like Powerlevel10k and customizing it... as I'm not sure how you're meant to go about writing a prompt in C, since most of it has to be controlled by shell scripting... The most you might be able to do is use C to generate the PS1 for you, but you'll have to export it with a shell

[tepid turret]

I see

[latent scaffold]

lol. I'm not helping you

[tepid turret]

Okay i dont mind

[lavish talon]

i see. Any project ideas in C which I could use in my day to day life?

[latent scaffold]

I have a feeling C isn't all that handy in writing such day-to-day programs... I guess it depends on what you're doing

[zinc loom]

I use PopOS a variation of Ubuntu LTS 20(Pretty much a reskin). Is there a way to change the default text manager into Atom?

[lavish talon]

hmmm

[latent scaffold]

LTS doesn't have anything to do with it, and unless you're a professional Kali will be useless for you. Kali is also not intended to be installed as a daily driver, you either use it in a VM or in a live environment

[tepid turret]

Like an OS emulator?

[tepid turret]

I was just going to move to linux for coding and programming

since windows slowing my crap

[latent scaffold]

FYI, Pop!_OS isn't really a reskin. It's a ripoff made by noncooperative developers... That being said, though... It should be the same process as any other GNOME distro, in finding the "default applications" setting

[latent scaffold]

Then Kali will be terrible for you

[tepid turret]

f

[latent scaffold]

but I also have no interest in helping you "socially engineer" or whatever

because I'm 99.99% sure you're trying to do so in a context that breaks this servers rules

[tepid turret]

Thats why im here for answer's how to fix this crap like the set up crap

[latent scaffold]

I don't think we're allowed to help you, now knowing your intent

[tepid turret]

okay

[zinc loom]

The only thing I like with PopOS is the easy Program Download manager. (U can pretty much do them on terminal ofc). With "Stable" Steam support. While it is true ergonomically it still has some noticeable issues

[latent scaffold]

is this the "stable Steam support" that uninstalled users DEs?

also what is "Program download manager"

[zinc loom]

I forgot the name so I just called it in general term. But its pretty much easy installation for apps that is found on windows. Like Discord, or Steam or Osu and or even drivers.

[zinc loom]

I haven't heard of that yet. What is that

[latent scaffold]

About a month ago, Pop!_OS had this almost hilarious issue where installing Steam would uninstall your entire DE

the bug lasted for about a week or two, I think

it became a bit of a meme after Linus from LTT tried using Pop!_OS and broke his entire install by trying to install Steam

[zinc loom]

Oh crap is that the issue on their new PopOS 21? Or the Version 20 LTS?

I have the Version 20 LTS but mightve dodged a bullet by not installing steam yet

[latent scaffold]

No clue. I'd hope it wasn't a problem with LTS, and I largely disagree with their push of non-LTS

It's since been fixed

[latent scaffold]

idk, not that much of an advantage in my opinion. Most "app stores" aren't really that good, and installing Discord and Steam aren't that difficult on Ubuntu and such. In the case of Discord, the install process is nearly identical to that of Windows

with Steam, you enable 32-bit libraries and then just sudo apt install steam

No clue about Osu, I've never touched it

.debs are helpful, though. You don't need to touch the command-line to install them, they're basically like .msis

[zinc loom]

Oh don't worry about it. Its just a windows only game that needs wine to run windows dlls. Wine is a pain to setup correctly however whatever distro you are.

[latent scaffold]

Well, I'd advise against using plain old WINE for games

I'm sure Osu is on Lutris

https://lutris.net/games/osu/

[zinc loom]

But in terms of working environment I highly prefer any unix systems (Ubuntu for me). Windows is a pain with their weird powershell

[graceful basin]

a friend had to manually configure some wine stuff to get osu to run well

[topaz aurora]

Last I checked audio latency was terrible

[graceful basin]

but that was about a year ago, maybe it's less bad now

[zinc loom]

Still an issue

[graceful basin]

but yeah, audio on linux is.... a thing

[latent scaffold]

I'm sure you could force Osu to use Proton (GE?)

[zinc loom]

The audio is like a stuttery mess. Sometimes it plays too fast, too slow or does not sync at all

[latent scaffold]

I've heard (although I don't entirely believe) that PipeWire is supposed to be better with audio latency in general

[graceful basin]

it's like the xorg vs wayland issue, except you don't get backwards compat, and there are even more compteting options

[zinc loom]

Had to do some Wine configuration to fix it. (Not entirely)

[graceful basin]

I really do wish I could just tell people to install linux, but the usability is not there yet.

[latent scaffold]

It depends on what you're doing

For a fair number of casual users, you could 100% get by without too much of an issue

[graceful basin]

I don't know many people who just live in the browser

[zinc loom]

Stability wise, windows is prefferable.
But programming, I prefer unix system due to their simple Terminal commands. (I heavily despise the windows powershell)

[graceful basin]

powershell is great

take the time to actually learn it

[latent scaffold]

In my experience, Linux has been a lot more stable than Windows. (Excluding Arch)

[graceful basin]

it is vastly better than pretty much any linux shell in a number of objective capabilities

[topaz aurora]

At least with Linux I don't have to periodically get a fresh Windows install

[zinc loom]

I find that browsers (firefox) run greater on linux(less ram less cpu)

[topaz aurora]

Has to do with caching, no?

[latent scaffold]

I've found mostly everything runs better on Linux if you can get it to work

[graceful basin]

yeah, if you need a browser machine, linux does make sense

[latent scaffold]

speaking mostly in the regard of games here

[graceful basin]

linux gets unstable once you have to leave the package manager

[latent scaffold]

I don't understand

[graceful basin]

though statically linking everything gets you quite far

but once you have to install things from elsewhere or start compiling by hand, you are on your own

[zinc loom]

Bandaging every flaws can be quite straining true.

[graceful basin]

maybe, but again, most people don't just use a computer as a browser machine

they have their phone for that

[latent scaffold]

it's mostly copying and pasting if you ever have to do it

I wouldn't expect a grandma to ever have the need to manually compile something

I have my 13-year-old and 10-year-old brothers on Linux and they've never complained about much

[graceful basin]

yeah, if you need a browser machine, you could probably use openBSD and be happy.

but idk, a browser machine just isn't an attractive prospect

[zinc loom]

Linux has far less broader online guides if the subject is not too known

[latent scaffold]

well, my 13-year-old brother is using KDE Neon for learning Python

although I do admit I had to install stuff for him, but I did try to have him try stuff on his own

and he seems to be fine with it

[graceful basin]

I am glad linux finally figured out a way to not have to package the world

because that's never going to work

[latent scaffold]

on Ubuntu, you just click the .deb

[zinc loom]

.deb is lifesaver

[graceful basin]

windows and mac do probably win in localisation and accessibility

[latent scaffold]

I feel like as of recently, things have been getting a lot better, though

it's the DE's responsibility most of the time

[zinc loom]

It is. The linux distros got more and more stable compared back on 2016

[graceful basin]

yeah, it's getting better, thankfully

[zinc loom]

Idk if it is just me or the window on linux has no minimize button.(But I could just drag it to do so)

[graceful basin]

I really just want to be able to tell people to install linux without having to babysit them for the next few months

[topaz aurora]

Bluetooth rarely works on my laptop, though I don't really have good reason to use Bluetooth

[zinc loom]

Speaking of it, dual booting sometimes messess up the Wifi hardware. Windows detects it but doesnt know what to do and the same for the Ubuntu. So I have to replug it do fix the issue

[graceful basin]

yeah, also the whole clock breaking in windows upon reboot

there are some lovely issues with dual booting

[zinc loom]

There is a fix for that
