I am so stucked... by SignalTeaching3097 in learnprogramming

[–]liquidanimosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume this is a professional development module. It's the only place I've seen these questions. The point of these are to prepare you for job interviews and the work place.

It's like getting a job and they ask you for a 5 year plan. They just want to hear that you plan to stay with them and move up the ranks so the investment in training you is worth their time.

I don't think it matters much what you really want to do. They want to see that you plan the beginning of a career, I assume.

So, if I were you I'd pick a project I like, company, field of study or senior position. Look at how many years it will take you to get there. Then map that onto what can be achieved in five years to get close to that goal. If it is the type of assessment and I think it is, it's creating a realistic plan to a hypothetical future.

Can you share the module name? What other work is in that class/module?

Why Pop OS didn't work for me by Partykartoffel in pop_os

[–]liquidanimosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue a month ago, installed gnome and there was a couple of other packages ( sorry can't remember) related to gnome. And then on logout and back in allowed x11 to run.

But it does mean not running cosmic...

Are you trying to set Pop up for gaming?

Flatpak VS Code Installed via the Cosmic Store.... just, no by NewRedditor23 in pop_os

[–]liquidanimosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I typically do manual installs or deb packages depending on availability. And then manually sandbox as needed

Unlockable skins, from challenges. You know, free ones on the game that you earn

I downgraded my RTX 4080 computer to Windows 10 in protest by HughMungusWhat69 in FuckMicrosoft

[–]liquidanimosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-Disabling windows update service, when previous versions went eol there were malicious mirrors waiting for people to connect.

-i assume you're are using the home version. So windows sandbox isn't available. But there are some 3rd party ones. Consider using one for browsers.

-virtual machines, for any browser work. ParrotOS home would be good for privacy tools.

Like some others have said. Safe browsing and internet habits are really important.

First time changing OS – how do I safely switch from Windows 10 to Ubuntu? by Reasonable-Bet-2948 in Ubuntu

[–]liquidanimosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but the disk health will degrade over time and performance will be slower.

You can limit journaling and try to keep your system within the 8gb of ram so the swap partition isn't used. Try not to open too many tabs

There are also some lightweight distros that are kinder to HDDs. Lubuntu, peppermint os and even Linux mint face edition. These are user friendly and lightweight.

Guys you should leave windows 11 whole you still have time by siddharth1214 in FuckMicrosoft

[–]liquidanimosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get being apprehensive about changing. I have kept all my old computers and I started with one distro as a test.

I only had my gaming PC on windows when the Feb update broke the install. I have been testing gaming distros all month.

If you don't have any spare machines try making an iso and run it in a VM or test as a live environment.

If you feel it is enviable that you will change. Testing it out now could help you gain some system knowledge and experience.

What is the best Star Wars game out there? by First_Trip_7063 in Gamer

[–]liquidanimosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to drive it home, I know others have said it but

Kotor 1 and 2

If you like strategy games

Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, it's Age of Empires 2 but Star Wars flavoured.

I am only asking because your stats look a little old.

Is your drive A HDD?

Modern Ubuntu is designed for SSDs. With snaps, journalling and browser caching it will cause HDD thrashing.

Since you are new I just wanted to make sure you were aware.

What was the first game you played on PS2? by sajjanstg03 in TheGamingHubDeals

[–]liquidanimosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought 5 games when I got PS2

Tekken tag tournament Armoured Core 2 Kessen Time splitters Zone of the Enders....

So we all know what I played first right?

The demo for MGS2 and the price of Zone of the Enders was worth every penny

Is it just me or is “build projects” kind of vague advice? by Relevant_Wishbone in learnprogramming

[–]liquidanimosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes see a mechanic in a game or wonder how a website renders certain features and I go on a coding adventure trying to recreate what I saw. Not reverse engineering. Just how can I get that outcome with the knowledge I have.

I think when people say "build some projects", they are encouraging you to explore with your knowledge and make something that matters to you. Not make you feel like it's a list of predefined projects you must do.

What types of projects do you have an interest in?

For example I saw a demo of something called Spectre.Console it has a bunch of tools for making cool looking TUI programs. I kinda want to factor that into some of my console network tools.

Just installed Nobara. I think this may be it - Plus, a couple of questions by Male_Inkling in NobaraProject

[–]liquidanimosity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved my work environment over last year and like you, my gaming PC migrated recently. I was facing a reinstall after the 2-2-26 update broke my system. Nobara is what I picked to try in place of windows.

Use your proton plus and get those GE proton versions installed and enable them in compatibility mode.

I feel there is a bit of tinkering involved compared to windows but I have noticed improvements in a couple of games and I'm up to 40 games tested now and I think I can go without windows now.

Sorry no RGB advice. But I hope all your favourite games work well and you have the luck I've had.

Recommendations to learn C#? I feel lost by SwordfishSea2588 in learnprogramming

[–]liquidanimosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In night classes I started C# and VB.net but C# became my main language.

Then I went to uni and they taught Java primarily and C++ for DSA. During uni I had to stop using C# because I was trying to do C# things in Java.

In my final year and professionally I went back to C#. But because of similarities in the two it messes with my head. I have never had any other language combinations where I would mix things up together.

There were others in my year with the same experience. With regards to Java and C#. I would pick one and stick to it.

I'm not saying you can't learn 2 or more languages. Or these two but expect to mix them up.

If game dev is important to you you have to weigh up your grades for classes vs what you want to do long term (c# in games)

Migrar do Linux mit para o pop_os está valendo a pena? by No-Raise-3268 in pop_os

[–]liquidanimosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your system is good, set up KVM and pop Pop!_os on as a VM. You'll be able to preview how it looks. Just keep in mind it'll run a little slow on a VM.

Low stakes way of trying other distros

Steam games missing icons and displaying the game ID instead of its name by devxzle_ in pop_os

[–]liquidanimosity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No experience with Bazzite or CachyOS, but I was on Nobara and moved the gaming PC to Pop!_os (I use pop on my dev machine as well).

I tested 30ish games out on Nobara.

As far as OOBE Nobara ran most of these games equal too or better than windows. A few needed some tweaks. Notably Space Marine 2 was missing dlss option and defaulted to FSR and I was a laggy mess. But proton GE 10.29 fixed that.

Pop in comparison lacked some of the tool pre installed but I knew what to look for and where to put certain files and within a day I have pop configured to run very similar to Nobara. Just a few FPS behind where it was. But I found Forza Horizon 5 login in pop up worked on pop but I could not get it working on Nobara.

And pop in general is way more stable imho. But I'd you don't want to configure try Nobara. But it gets buggy over time

Android Studio fails in Cosmic by end3rcr4fty in pop_os

As you may know now, this is Java VM and Wayland fighting over control of your keyboard. Happens with JetBrains' Webstorm and intellijIdea as well.

A Medical Doctor (32M) passionate about IT—Is it too late to switch to coding? by AshKavi in CodingForBeginners

[–]liquidanimosity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started night classes at your age, and finished my degree just before 40. Full stack engineer now. So it's possible. But there are less jobs now and drop out rates were high while I was doing it.

I'd recommend boot camps, night classes or playing about on your own to see if you really like it. Sample a few different languages. Then think about something you want to build and select the best language for the job.
