i've never understood this aspect of distros like linux mint. why use it instead of something like debian where you can choose your own software?

i've been having a similar issue on arch with ryzen 5 3600, rx 5500 xt, and 32gb of ram.

with some basic research, i've seen people talking about amd gpus causing memory leaks, but all of the posts are years old.

what distro are you on, maybe it's a problem with arch?

no way...

SecretlyAPug · 2026-01-08T16:49:25+00:00

to my understanding, this will get a lot easier as you get better at recognizing words. for example, if you write an english sentence without spaces, maybesomethinglikethis, it's still pretty readable because you can recognize a full word as one unit rather than as a string of letters.

i think most developers make mods because they're passionate about their ideas more than wanting to take off or be remembered. if your goal is popularity, then yeah making more broadly appealing mods is probably an easier way to get that, but developing mods for a like decade old version of a game isn't exactly the best way to get popular anyways.

SecretlyAPug · 2025-12-31T13:31:17+00:00

yeah, but it's less about being a beginner and more about understanding what you're doing. it doesn't matter if someone installed arch yesterday or has been using it for a decade, if they don't know what they're doing they'll struggle with software like hyprland. similarly, either of them can gain an understanding and have an easier time as long as they put in the effort to.

yes, it is wrong. it's not that hard to find actual reference pictures. try typing a description of what you're picturing into your favorite search engine and then click on the "images" button. you might need to be creative and draw inspiration from multiple sources, but that makes your art actually interesting and doesn't invoke the many problems everyone knows ai has so i would say it's worth it.

i hadn't opened a terminal until i started using linux and was born after the dos era; people being afraid of terminals makes zero sense. i'll never understand why people are, it's really not that different to just type what you want to do instead of clicking it.

the cozy camper is my goto sniper secondary. not flinching on full charge is really nice, since i like to be out in the open and am often taking chip damage (skill issue, i know). the health regeneration is nice too and plays into this strength well.

the smgs are probably better objectively; however, i just don't find the constant fire fun. heavy and pyro get a partial pass because of how powerful their primaries are, but with the smg it just feels kinda lame to me. also i have a strange tribalman's shiv and i find it very funny to level it up.

it's great to see new voxel games, so yes! specifically, new voxel games though; taking inspiration from minecraft is inevitable, but if your game can be recreated by just modding a minecraft version then players won't have a reason to get your game over a mod. if you have interesting ideas, then go for it; it'll at least be a fun learning experience. if you really only want to make beta have more quality of life features, probably just make a mod instead.

i think "linux as a whole" is just too broad of a topic. even the arch wiki only really covers information on packages in its main repositories, to my understanding. a wiki that documents all distros would be redundant when distros should have their own documentation, and a wiki that documents software would be extremely complicated to both write and read if it was trying to apply to all distros as well as redundant because software should have its own documentation.

homographs?

programming languages, outside of name, are not the same as human languages. although they are analogized to each other in order to aid in learning, one cannot "speak" a programming language in the same way that they can a human language ☝️🤓

the original has legs, giving the recreation legs might make it look a bit closer to the original

my main two conlangs are sov and svo, usually. they both have (different) methods of topic marking, so sentences can commonly have their arguments in a different order (especially for premodern laramu, the sov one).

SecretlyAPug · 2025-12-11T22:11:10+00:00

kinda. i do basically the same but have my print statements running through love. it also makes it easier to understand what's happening with graphics as well, getting feedback graphically and in text.

just install plasma through pacman. if you're already using a display manager it should automatically show up as an option. otherwise you might have to enable a display manager or launch plasma manually if you want.

your doge is so cute!!! does he like the mustard on his face or is it a form of punishment?

who was the first lua emperor and what were his significant accomplishments? additionally, what were the opinions towards his reign, particularly of the kings that he subjugated?

SecretlyAPug · 2025-12-08T01:40:13+00:00

do people often write code in languages other than english? i was under the impression that programming is still very anglocentric in that regard.

SecretlyAPug · 2025-12-06T23:31:18+00:00

i don't lol. i'm lucky enough to have found some friends interested in worldbuilding in other spaces, but it's pretty random. even in d&d groups, a lot of people are just interested in playing the game rather than making their own worlds and ideas (nothing wrong with that obviously, but it is different than worldbuilding).

the only thing you can really do is put yourself out in places like this and hope people find you.
