Yes

All over the place…

Jokes on you, my system is (mostly) -O3

Usually KDE, but I’m messing around with qtile atm.

I’d still recommend dual booting, just in case…

I’d say dual boot. Jumping ship from windows to linux without it is very hard, especially if you enjoy playing a windows-only game or rely on windows-only software. A virtual machine can work for some basic software, but you need to do GPU passt trough to the VM to be able to game at all, which is a… let’s just say not insignificant amount of messing around and configuring stuff.

Android studio?

Chimera Linux is also a pretty cool independent distro…

“Did stuff”

//TODO: Make this better

And you never look at it or touch it again.

There, code fixed!

Sums up my experience with C++. It’s fun until you actually start using it and then you get hit with: Idiotic syntax, no package management, C compilers, different operating systems, compiling in general, having to code everything from scratch, memory management and a lot more…

Shit hit me so hard, I began learning web dev instead and never looked back…

Changing stuff and seeing what happens. Yeah, about sums up my “debugging”.

What I usually do is I explain what the function does and, if not self explanatory, explain why it does such thing. Like, with the clock example, I’d explain that it tells the time and then, if not immediately obvious, explain why the time needs to be known… Smth like that.

There is no “correct” way of commenting code. I personally think the more verbose, the better, but that’s an unpopular opinion afaik. As long as the code can be understood, the comment is doing it’s job.

PS, I’m also kinda new to programming, mostly doing JS and React stuff

plan on not using Wayland

Strong disagree on that one, X11 sucks

WinBTRFS is quirky at best. For the better or for worse, you’re better off either setting up a network share or sticking with mounting the NTFS partition.

Linux mint or ZorinOS. Try both and use the one you like more…

It’s between konsole and kitty for me. Both are great.

Chimera Linux is actually really nice. Been daily driving it for a little bit, and as long as you don’t have an Nvidia GPU, it should work just fine.

I’ve tried FreeBSD and in my experience, it was just like clunkier, worse documented linux. I specifically remember having issues with wifi drivers not working and drivers as a whole being a huge pain. I’ve also tried setting up OpnSense in a VM (for testing purposes) and that was just as clunky.

I’ve also thought of trying TrueNAS core… But the way I see it, it’s just clunkier TrueNAS scale without proper virtualization and with more limitations.

And those my thoughts on FreeBSD. Clunky.

E: All of that and it’s just licensed under the wrong license… I like the BSD license, I just don’t think it works for an OS.

Chimera Linux. You’d think that a distro using its own bsd-like userspace and dinit instead of systemd is janky and unusable, but it’s been one of the most painless experiences I’ve had.

Genuinely recommend trying it if you don’t have an Nvidia GPU.
