I heard lots of scammers use AnyDesk now

"It's just a prank bro" taken way too far, huh?

hallucination refers to a specific bug (AI confidently BSing) rather than all bugs as a whole

You're not alone. Most people I know don't even sort their files into directories anymore, they just search for it (particularly in cloud storages like Google Drive).

In fact, when I took the introductory computer engineering course at my HS, the teacher made everyone sort their Google Drive files as an assignment.

Old games are likely to work better, as new games are likely to use new features or behaviour which aren't yet handled properly by Wine/Proton.

Some games use kernel-level anticheat. Unfortunately, because there is a kernel driver involved, it must be specifically ported to Linux, and some developers simply don't want to bother.

examples: Valorant, Roblox, PUBG

Someone here needs to make federated StackExchange.

The reaction used in fusion generators is:

[2]H + [3]H -> [4]He + n

Since tritium is usually produced from lithium in situ, you add:

[6]Li + n -> [3]H + [4]He.

The only radioactive thing here is tritium, and it's mostly confined to the reactor. Also, tritium isn't nearly as bad as fission waste.

I mean, if you could extract any tritium from the reactor cavity, but it's probably going to get burned up instantly.

The reactions I showed add up to this overall reaction. Neutrons simply serve as a catalyst.

[2]H + [6]Li -> 2 [4]He

On the bright side, fusion reactors produce helium as a byproduct, which might make party balloons cheaper.

I use WezTerm. Highly configurable and supports every image display protocol under the sun.

I love how backwards American politics has become. /s

In addition to that, they make nice FOSS apps that are great for any DE (see Krita, Kdenlive)

Also it looks like Windows, and that to me is a huge plus for anyone using my computer.

The way I see it, a Linux distribution:

  • Boots the Linux kernel
  • Has open-source software at its core
  • Provides an "easy bootstrap" system.
  • Does not outright prevent modification of system software. (This excludes ChromeOS/Android)
    • This does not exclude immutable distros, as system software can still be modded as root).

They are. Whenever one of your friends on IG posts on Threads, they send you a notification.

well, Wine does support WoW64, but the way it's implemented requires you to install both 32 and 64 bit Wine.

From a developer's standpoint, one of the bigger pain points of Wayland is window embedding.

If you want to embed from an external process, the only way to do this is to have your application expose its own Wayland compositor and then have the embedded process use that Wayland compositor. No one has made a library for this as of yet.

If you want to embed from the same process, it shouldn't be too difficult; you just need a wl_subsurface. However, this doesn't work too well with most GUI toolkits.

Wayland is just radically different from every other windowing API, and I'm hoping that the GUI toolkits can adapt.

I guess rule 7 (Anon is still able to deliver) applies here

handling word documents

This is the biggest pitfall of Linux: Microsoft doesn't make Office for Linux and the compatibility layers we do have don't work well enough.

There are alternatives like LibreOffice, however, don't expect them to be perfectly compatible with Office.

Everything else you listed is perfectly fine: Most browsers ship Linux versions, and those can be used for PDF viewing.

I'd recommend familiarizing yourself with the Linux command line, as most advanced system configuration has to be done through the CLI.

In addition, remember to do your research before asking for help. Good resources include the system manual pages, Arch Wiki, and of course, Google.

As for choice of distro, I'll recommend Fedora, as it's reasonably up to date with software and has a nice GUI for dealing with updates.

yt-dlp for downloading video/audio from a number of sites, not just YouTube.

Screw YT Premium.

IntelliJ for Java and Rider for C#. VSCode for everything else.

  • Denial: "There is no way Elon would do that to Twitter."
  • Anger: "This is stupid. Why would Elon do this to Twitter? He's making things so much worse!"
  • Bargaining: "Maybe if I hold out he'll revert the changes. Maybe Elon has some good left in his heart."
  • Depression: "Why do stupid things like this happen to me?"
  • Acceptance: "Looks like Twitter's dead in the water, we should move on."

Fingerprint sensor stopped working

File an issue to libfprint, your fingerprint reader probably isn't supported yet.

Should be "bass singer", not "bassist".

"bassist" is for people who play double bass or bass guitar.

Lawmakers in the US plan to destroy digital privacy. Please updoot posts to raise awareness.

Imagine Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire but Dumbledore actually asks calmly.

Then again, we must consider that it's complicated, and thus Hofstadter's law applies.

Really depends on the subject, but for anything programming:

  • GeeksForGeeks for anything deeply CS-related. They give example code.
  • Stack Overflow, toxic as it is, is surprisingly helpful.

When I used Ubuntu, I had to install the .debs off of Brother's site by myself. They provide .deb/.rpm packages.

The AUR is always your friend. (No, I don't use Arch, I use ArcoLinux)

Well, your best option is to switch to Linux
