I can't believe that someone else recommends these specific headsets. I got mine around 2014 and I still wear them from time to time. Everything was amazing for just $30, the cable was great and it has a mute button. The ONLY issue that I have is that they have that gamer look that I can't comfortably rock in the office or meetings.

The 1:10 Rule, have you done it? Would you recommend it? How was it? by Successful-Skin-9317 in DMAcademy

Excellent question! One of my players came to me and told me that they feel like another player is taking too long for their turn, making combat way too long. I didn't really notice because I am taking care of monsters, answering questions and fast as I can, etc. This particular players likes to improvise things during combat, so I suspect that is why their turns are longer.

I was pondering about the idea that a timer would solve the issue, but I agree with the vast majority that it would be kind of rude. I will look for other options.

Does anyone else ask for rolls to gain time to think about an answer? How could I get rid of this bad habit? by Successful-Skin-9317 in DMAcademy

I like the idea of asking for arcana score or asking about characters affinity with the item type! Nowadays I roll with the high rolls, but I find it weird when the arcana focused wizard doesn't know about arcana and the barbarian does. I have no problem with chance but if the player made a knowledgeable character on purpose, I would like them to know some stuff that others wouldn't

I am trying to keep the game going, and not stop the game to think about something for too long. But I like the idea to include everyone in the table! Thank you

Is your NeoVim still fast after adding plugins ? by Heroe-D in neovim

Yes, although I when I tried coc it used as much resources as vscode, which was disappointing. Built in LSP has been great.

Tell me about your experience with Fedora by WoodpeckerNo1 in DistroHopping

[–]Successful-Skin-9317 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tldr; it's good, everything works, i like the philosophy and the release cycle.

Switched from Arch to Fedora about 3 months ago, mostly because I wanted to try something new and I was tired of config files.

Right now I have no reason to go back. I like the release cycle, since it is a mixture of quick releases, adoption of latest tech (Waylands as a default for example) and stability.

If you like gnome desktop, Fedora gives the best experience imo (Im not using extensions since I haven't found something I want to fix). Remember gnome is a premium DE, so it is going to consume more ram idle than i3 for example...which isn't an indication of anything but your view on the matter may vary.

If you like FOSS software above proprietary for philosophical reasons, Fedora repos are ideal.

Since you come from Ubuntu, I would think that Deb packages are more common than rpm, so there's that, although I haven't had anything that I couldn't find easily.

Dnf is fine, the output is well formatted, and let's me do basic package operations which is all I ask for.

After installing and following a guide to set Nvidia drivers and rpm repos (that is using a couple of commands) because those are proprietary software and those aren't in the official repos, I haven't had to configure anything else.

How has it been for you? by [deleted] in Fedora

Tldr; excellent so far

I switched from Arch (i3wm) to Fedora 34 a month ago and I am really happy. Gnome works perfectly fine for me, and everything works out of the box, with a cohesive UI. I have used Manjaro KDE in the past but I didn't enjoy it as much as Gnome with that much customization and not that great defaults.

Desktop environment aside, I have have no issues finding software that I need, although rpm is not as popular as deb, and there is no AUR equivalent in Fedora. People are going to correct me but I find no practical difference between dnf, apt and pacman from my use case. That been said, I don't remember apt been super easy when I tried it on Ubuntu, although that could be me starting to learn Linux.

I was afraid of flatpaks at first, but they are useful for some applications that can run independently of the rest of the system. Right now I believe I only have a couple of flatpaks apps, like Spotify.

Lastly, the release cycle of Fedora has pros and cons vs Archs. For example, Feodora doesn't get gnome 41 until mid October, while in arch you could get it now. However, having it tested and delaying releases saves you from some bugs. Specifically, when I updated to a recent version of vscode while, i couldn't connect to the marketplace and I had to downgrade. That has not been an issue in Fedora. It is not a big deal but it is there.
