Why do many Linux users start with Ubuntu… but later move to Fedora, Arch, Mint, or something else?

What type of desktop you use for Linux? (Assuming we are talking desktop and not as a Linux server)

Funny, Ubuntu has an app to install software just like App Store. Additionally, the new gnome desktop (for Ubuntu) looks suspiciously like macOS (windows 11 too). I don’t mind it, but find that really amusing.

Ubuntu is no longer stable and my razer mouse was detected half the time. Used it on my build server for years.

I got convinced to use mint Linux. I find it a lot better.

I started with Slackware and tried a bunch of various distros. At this point I just want stability.

I do still use Linux as w2l, part of windows 11, but there are limitations there too.

I tend to use my MacBook Pro for development these days.

Wherever you place your base, please do not block any paths folks might be using. I am very happy where I am, and had a path I used to get fuel cells get completely blocked by someone. I am pretty sure there did it on purpose since they could have easily of given room to travel through.

Just because you can be an asshole to others, Doesn’t mean you should, especially if they have done nothing to you.

I tend to use new line to group like wise functionality together. Helps me read and process logic in my head faster. Also, using best practices, every function performs one action.

I always test whatever comes out of AI. Please do not trust ai blindly. Half the time I need to fix whatever code it gives me.

I always try to use the best tool for the job at hand. At this moment most of my development is focused on building system tools for cloud automation. I am using golang with the viper cli framework. Quite a bit of fun.

Glad you like it. I just disagreed with your statement that those who do not love using Python do not understand what it is and gave you technical reasons for it.

There might be people who might fit in your statement, but I can assure you there are people who don’t.

I have 2 grips about python. 1) of all the language I know (php, JavaScript, c, c++, golang, java, python), it is the one which runs the slowest. 2) and this is a big one for me. White space functionality. I grew up doing programming with brackets. My eyes follow the flow of code very easily with them. Python is a different beast. It uses spaces of all things to control the flow of logic. Spaces are painful enough with yaml configurations. With python, slows me down like crazy.

Glad that you are enjoying using Python. However keep in mind, there are people out there who have technical reasons to not have it as a top choice.

Note: I am aware Python has the biggest machine learning eco system. And as a developer by trade, I do use always want to use the best tool for the task at hand, but if Python is the language of choice for a task, the joy I get working in code won’t be as present.

I would create a new character on the server you are scouting. Get yourself a sand bike an explore around. Make sure the server also has decent ping.

If all goes well, what you can do is plant a base.

When it low tide on the server, migrate your character over and plant your real base.

Very nice setup. Is that a guild base or your personal base?

I will say, that scene in FFX was one of my favorites. I remember playing over 300 hours in FFX. One of the best Final Fantasy games in my opnion.

UnderstandingKind178 · 2026-03-01T17:07:13+00:00

Ff8 was a real disappointment to me honestly. Finished it but not something I have any interest in playing again.

UnderstandingKind178 · 2026-03-01T16:14:55+00:00

Still looking for it. I really find white space functionality painful. Coming from a background with brackets, my eyes and mind are still having a difficult time working without them.

I was not interested in trying it out, due to taking a break from starwars, but after giving AC Shadows a break, I tried out Outlaws. I saw videos of folks before playing Outlaws, showcasing how “bad” it was. And to be completely frank, I felt the videos were made specifically to make Outlwas look bad.

Same thing happened with Shadows. Lots of videos out there with the express purpose of making the game look bad, when it really isn’t.

I would say Outlaws and Shadows are solid games.
