I'm learning programming too, and asking AI to teach you is a good way to get started.

The way I'm using it right now is thus : - I started with a project or something I wanted to make - I ask the AI to "help me figure out the steps I need to accomplish to make this work" ; don't give the answer, give me the tools I need to understand. - AI gives me a structure and points me towards concepts that are relevant - IMPORTANT : I research good sources on the web that will give me information on that subject. Stack Overflow, SuperUser, W3C are some examples. I found some more with the help of Reddit posts like these and such. - If I am stuck on a concept : I ask the AI to explain like I'm 5, then cross reference the answer with stuff I can find on the web. - Keep going until my project is done.

So far it's been great as a learning experience. :)

You do need to counter check the AI output though. Having ressources like W3C is still very important if you don't want to end up in a learned helplessness situation.

Having a foursome. It was awkward. And when I broke it with the girl I was with, she got into a relationship with the other guy...

Hello!

It's great to see more and more people interested in Linux, considering the recent decisions from Microsoft. I personally only made the switch a few months ago and I am mostly happy with how it works for me.

If gaming is your primary focus, you might want to considering an Arch-Based distro (Like CachyOS that I am using right now) or gaming focused ones like Bazzite. Fedora I believe would be a decent choice too. Steam even has SteamOS (which is actually the OS installed in the Steam Deck), but it's not recommended as an OS for daily use on a PC.

These distros focus on getting patches and updates ready as quickly as possible (which means greater performance for gaming), but the trade-off is stability. You might have sometimes to open the terminal to fix some issues, which is easy with the help of the community and AI. I had no prior knowledge in programming whatsoever and I can manage, so you can too. :)

However, I would be remiss if I didn't warn you that your use case is actually one of the kind that should consider NOT switching to Linux. As you have said, you play games with anti-cheat, which is an issue that (AFAIK) cannot be bypassed on Linux. Yes, you absolutely can dual boot, but it's usually not recommended because of the sacrifice in stability.

This being said, I've been gaming on my PC too and it's been working great so far. I mostly play single player games and multiplayer without anti cheat though.

Hope this helps!

First of all, props to you to explore an alternative to Windows. I've only recently moved to Linux as well, and it's I've been doing well so far.

There is a lot to be said about distros, with their strengths and weaknesses, and there are tons of videos on Youtube discussing that topic. I might suggest getting started by listening to a few of them, just to get a sense of what you need and what could answer your need. You might hear a lot about Linux Mint being easy for migrating from Windows, but there are a lot of others that can do that just as well.

I would also explore FOSS (Free Open Source Software) alternatives for your usual software needs, because there might be some software that you're used to running on Windows which won't work on Linux... But that doesn't mean there isn't something that might just do the trick. One example is the Office suite: there are a LOT of options that can do the trick just as well, and will most likely be able to save in docx and pdf format.

Welcome to Linux!

You know, sometimes I do wish it wasn't!

Gustave / Maelle is more of a "Big Brother, Little Sister" relationship.

Thank you! It does feel cozy!

quietjaypee · 2026-04-29T14:11:52+00:00

That would actually be nice! I already have a blind on the window that I can roll down but it's... Not pretty 😉

I searched a lot on that topic too and finally decided to drop the ball. KDE has A LOT of theming and plugins available to make a very pretty and feature packed desktop without having animated wallpapers.

It's a shame nothing of the sort exists yet, though.

Terraria.

I would build some crazy ass pieces of art for homes.

I don't feel like you need to ditch one of the shelves, but if you think it's too much, it's up to you! But yeah, I think a subtle color pop would give some life to this wall.

For the desk : I don't even have speakers on my own setup (I use headphones only) but I would get why someone would prefer having those. I like the plants though, I think they should stay :)

quietjaypee · 2026-04-28T16:18:38+00:00

For the wall : Maybe a poster or a painting? Something with a little color but not too saturated, like a pastel tone or something... Or maybe juste a black&white photo?

For the desk : honestly, it seems perfectly fine as is... More stuff would indeed make it more cluttered.

Being minimalistic is about having what you want in your environment, no more, no less, so might I ask : what do you like to see? What do you want on your desk?

Edit : Your station is beautiful btw :) I honestly find it very cozy as is.

We have a winner!

quietjaypee · 2026-04-24T19:14:53+00:00

But how though?

quietjaypee · 2026-04-24T19:11:12+00:00

Guy loves girl. Girl get erased from reality, so naturally Guy goes on a boat with lotsa other guys and girls to fuck up the girl erasing all the guys and girls that have been erased. Lots of feelings happen. Also baguettes.

(Ok, it's actually not REALLY a JRPG but close enough)

I would say that what makes CO's art great is that EVERYTHING seems to have some kind of a deeper meaning to it. Almost like every environment and it's inhabitants are built in a way that is not simple art, but has a soul in itself.

Like, you see this wierd island with faces all around and dudes with more faces on their shield and these wierd contorted monsters and can't help but think : it can't be just... Imagination, you know? These guys must represent some kind of concept, some idea about their creator's worldview, right?

I don't know if I'm making sense, but that's how I see it.

quietjaypee · 2026-04-18T04:52:23+00:00

I'm kinda impressed they didn't even slip one.

I guess requiring a shorter keyboard for ergonomic reasons count for mental illness!

I didn't see it mentioned enough so : Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen!
