  • I mean, this could be useful, but I need a much higher level of understanding. When I was a dev, all we used was basically version control. There was no concept of commit, pulls, etc. I’m having to understand this from a standpoint of no understanding whatsoever. For most devs, they’ve done this for at least a decade with Git. Git is so much more complicated than a simple version control. I understand why it’s necessary for large teams, but I still see it lke this:






  • I want you to understand how surreal this particular link is for me. Video edits are my hobby, and I’ve just recently started yet another play-through of Morrowind. I get the whole “do actual projects” thing and that’s valid, but I’ve no clue where to start here. Should I finally learn C#? Is Rust the only way forward? Should I just try to catch back up on Java? I guess what I’m asking here is should I just try to find a FLOSS/OSS project and try to contribute or think of something new?





  • I assume you’re talking about Desktop Environments. Yes, of course. KDE and Gnome rival MacOS as far as usability goes. The better part is that other software development groups port their software over to Linux as well and make it as seamless as possible.

    People run into confusion here when people flood the comments on user questions like this, so let me shut that down right now.

    If you need something that is a straight Desktop Environment, get a distro with KDE or Gnome, and a known OS that will have a lot of user base getting questions and answers if you even run into any.

    Fedora or Ubuntu. Don’t listen to anyone arguing for their preferred favorites.

    Don’t listen to performance comments.

    You want a solid, no issues, not needing to look for help kind of distro. It’s those two, no question, and they both have KDE and Gnome variants.

    That’s really about it.
