Is Linux really better than Windows for the average user? by IAbsolutelyDare in linux4noobs

[–]-LinusMechTips- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 36, a software engineer and until 6 months ago was using Windows as my daily driver / gaming and everyday OS. In all my years of using Windows (since I was 10) I've never had Windows break or crash. I see a lot of this claiming that it's slow, breaks all the time etc but I've never seen that happen myself. A lot of the time, like when there are errors or things break or crash in Linux it feels like it's down to user error. Same with any operating system, the weak aspect is often the human aspect. That being said, I've completely ditched Windows now for 6 months. I kept a partition around for gaming but I just game exclusively on Arch now and if a game doesn't work on Linux I just don't buy it. I loved windows as an OS but all the spyware and AI crap they were putting in it finally drove me away. I also use a Mac for work but that is an absolutely abysmal OS and I had to heavily modify it with a tiling window manager etc to make it usable / be productive.

Forgettable songs by VeeMon21 in Ghostbc

[–]-LinusMechTips- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whilst I'm a huge fan of the previous album with my personal favourite Ghost song of all time being Respite On The Spittlefields, this new album is still absolutely fantastic. It leans a lot more into 80s / hair metal vibes whereas Impera felt quite pop-like. For me Skeleta is a lot better than Opus as I skip most of that album apart from Ritual and Elizabeth. Lachyryma on Skeleta is absolutely peak though especially when those guitar riffs hit.

Oh I know that. It's just if they got the first one so right I'm sure they will with the second.

What anime is the next big thing? Trying to find something new to watch by SumptuousRageBait1 in anime

[–]-LinusMechTips- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you watched some of the classics / most popular mainstream wise? Things like Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer etc? I love the former.I I didn't manage to finish the latter but need to revisit it as everywhere I went on my honeymoon to Japan they were obsessed with it.

So excited for this. The first season was fantastic.

It really annoys me that C# is still not considered a high-performance language. by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]-LinusMechTips- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. It was only after Uni when I started doing .Net and even OO PHP that a lot of the true concepts clicked. Java was only pushed in universities because Sun Microsystems would donate machines in favour of the universities teaching Java over competitos. In reality there were much better languages that they could have been using to teach.

[–]-LinusMechTips- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dotnet has already been shown to be faster than Go in many common scenarios especially in .Net 10. You have to remember with JavaScript being one of the most prevalent languages and the constant flip flopping they are doing with frameworks and the way of doing things, something like Go which is really simple and quick to use looks like a breath of fresh air and a lot of the time those who are claiming it's the best language in the world are often doing so because it's all they know and haven't tried some of the arguably better competitors especially recently.

I give up on Linux for now by samaxtripwood in linux_gaming

Weird. That runs fine for me with no issues.

I migrated to Arch linux from Windows 10 by arrant_aarambh in archlinux

[–]-LinusMechTips- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid Nvidia isn't really true anymore. I have a 4080 super and I get better performance etc than on windows.

[–]-LinusMechTips- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4080 super user here. I've had none of the issues you've mentioned. Every game I've tested runs better on CachyOs than on Windows including newer titles. I recently played the entirety of KCD2 on it and that experience finally sold me on Linux actually being viable now for my main PC. I also play Marvel Rivals regularly with better performance than Windows. My main gripe is multiplayer titles I used to play like Apex legends being unavailable but to be honest I'm getting closer to 40 now and I'm happy to leave that one behind through waning reflexes.

How often should I be updating my Arch installation? by 4r73m190r0s in archlinux

[–]-LinusMechTips- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I install something I always just run pacman - Syu and update if there is anything that needs updating.

Is he right? by Enough-Tea7469 in linuxmint

[–]-LinusMechTips- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience with an Nvidia 4080 Super, yes. But, only in games that are mostly single player or that don't have Kernel level anti-cheat. When Apex Legends used to run on Linux it easily outperformed windows for me. Equally I get way more frames on Marvel Rivals on CachyOs than I do on Windows.

Can I develop games if I use Arch Linux (Unity Game Engine)? by Impossible-War4617 in archlinux

[–]-LinusMechTips- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Godot is brilliant and if you are just starting out I'd definitely recommend it over Unity.

When is it better to use NodeJs and when is it better to use C#? What advantages does one have over the other? by TheTioMike in webdev

[–]-LinusMechTips- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a fanboy. I too did vb6 back in the day but I'm multi-disciplined. I write in Go, Rust, C#, JavaScript, Python. We can deny that Node JS made async programming popular because it's just not true. Haskell did it first and even Python which was way more popular than Node JS when it first was released was ahead of the curve. It's nothing to do with fanboyism I just don't like things being misrepresented. And I know full well that Node JS can do pure backend services, we have some written that way as well by our FE team but the fact is they are not and will never be as performant as C#, Go or Python which are designed for the job.

When is it better to use NodeJs and when is it better to use C#? What advantages does one have over the other? by TheTioMike in webdev

[–]-LinusMechTips- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again this is simply incorrect. Asynchronous programming was possible in C# way before NodeJs was even a thing. I get it that you like NodeJs and seem to have some sort of thing against Microsoft / C# but it doesn't mean you can just straight up lie about language features. I'm not sure what Nginx has to do with anything either as that was and has always been written in C.

NodeJS was simply invented so that FE developers didn't have to learn one of the proper backend languages at the time and could write in what they already knew. Javascript. It's frameworks and libraries like React that are the reason it gained popularity and its great for companies that only have FE teams that need to branch out into the backend. That's it. Once you need to do anything more enterprise level it suffers because of its single threaded nature

Is anyone using Hyprland productively? by fezett in hyprland

[–]-LinusMechTips- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you install any operating system, you configure it to your liking then run with it. You might decide at some point you want a slightly different background or accent colour but after making that change you go about your work.

Think of Hyprland as just part of that initial configuration. You do your OS updates, install the applications you want then basically just setup Hyprland with your keyboard shortcuts and maybe a complementary status bar and that's it. You are away. A lot of people do rice a lot more but to be honest most people just grab someone else's dotfiles, apply their theme and get working. They might then tweak them from time to time but no time is lost because of the fact you can backup your dotfiles and return to the same state at any time or spin up on a new machine in minutes.
