We used Matlab in 3rd year of high school. Teachers sent us link to download pirated version. I installed GNU Octave.

I mean basic programming in general, as basic as it gets. It’s not guaranteed that every student has programming experience.

Redragon Saaturn G807, didn’t have any issue with it so far and it wasn’t expensive.

Best WM (Wayland) shoud be Hyprland, it’s exact length and fits with 18 and 32.

Why is Linux Nihilism?

Linux is amazing for games thar don’t have anti-cheat and I don’t play those games. Saying that Linux gaming isn’t ready is just stupid at this point. And for emulation it might be better than Windows.

Your experience from 80s is similar to my experience now with Switch games (it’s not the same only because I’m not a kid). Download times do suck but I have a really simple solution for them: I simply do something else until it’s finished. And there are great games that don’t take much space space on your storage, Balatro is first one that comes to mind.

Yes, I’m using ATLauncher. Just tried Flatpak version and it works. Thank you.

Recently switched to NixOS.

I use EndeavourOS (which is almost the same as Arch) for gaming and it works great.

You can use Heroic game launcher for Epic games and few other launchers. There is no way to use official launcher as far as I know.

You can do .net on Linux but Windows is much better for that. I recommend using Windows for work and Linux for everything else.

I recommend going with Virt-manager, it works much better than VirtualBox in my experience.

Only saw it once in hospital when I went to do first aid exam for driver licence.

My first distro was Ubuntu because it is a beginner distro and it looked interesting.

I use Heroic games launcher for Epic and it supports GOG too.

It works, thanks.

Around 1 and a half years.

I had same problem on Arch based distros, it’s Nvidia problem. Try booting with LTS kernel.

1. I never used Wayland but Xorg works really well.

2. Don’t copy terminal commands from internet if you don’t know what they do. Also, try new things just to try them. That’s how I started using many things that now make the core of my computer experience. Even if something looks scary I recommend giving it a go because in most cases it is much easier than it looks (at least when you have some experience with Linux).

3. YouTube can be a good resource at the start.

4. Switching to Linux was very smooth experience for me because I wanted to inform myself about Linux before switching just to know what I’m getting into. If you go prepared you probably won’t experience many problems.
