I am German and I use the German keyboard layout...
There's still lots of active PHP projects, including new ones. PHP is actually a nice language and much of its negative reputation comes from the years of stagnation during the late PHP 5.x era. Which is long over. I definitely find PHP to be much nicer than JS for backend development, although I no longer use it professionally.
Yeah, that's why I am not too happy with Beehawk's decision. I think it's definitely a possibility that we end up with things like whitelists. Defederating from large instances that are not clearly not abuse/spam/trolling/extremist should never be done lightheartedly. When one of the largest instances, defederates with two of the other largest instances, that lowers the threshold for other instances to make even more rigid defederations. And then whitelists are only the next step.
Cinnamon! Although I want to give KDE another chance to become my default DE.
Ubuntu Mono. Though I don't use Ubuntu.
Honestly, besides backupping my data from Windows and choosing a distro that fit my needs, I didn't really do any preparation.
I own a Tuxedo notebook as well as a Tuxedo desktop PC. I can confirm they are of great quality.
On my Desktop, I switched to Manjaro (Arch-based) from Mint a few years ago. Works like a charm and I like the rolling release model. On servers, Ubuntu, Debian or SUSE might be a good choice.
Well, what happens when whitelisting is being introduced?
I've had moments where I genuinely felt like ADHD has benefited me, like when went into hyperfocus mode and launched some new project I would have never started otherwise. I feel like I'm a bit more creative and enthusiastic at times. But 99% of the time ADHD is just a condition that sucks for me.
4% is still massive.
Snap is easily available on other distros as well. If anything, they want to lock you into their proprietary store.
SUSE -> Mageia -> Ubuntu -> Manjaro -> Mint -> Manjaro. Been on Manjaro for 4 years now.
I completely switched to Linux in 2015. I'd definitely call myself a gamer. I don't buy AAA games at release too often, but I sometimes do. I play games for several hours a week. So yeah, probably that makes me a gamer. Nowadays gaming on Linux works great 80-90% of the time. Proton on Steam has massively improved the experience. The only stuff that still regularly causes problems are anti-cheat systems for some multiplayer games. Otherwise gaming on Linux feels almost the same as on Windows.
At approximately 11 or 12 years I started with SUSE Linux 10.0 on KDE. Got it from a DVD included in a computer magazine. Felt truly great, although I fully made the switch only 10 years later. Also in 2005, I fiddled around with Knoppix.
Convenience probably.
