From what I heard one component was that it was difficult to line up the release dates between updating the Ubuntu base and KDE because Ubuntu uses GNOME and they line up their release dates with that

It kinda depends on what games you are using.

If they are online only with anti cheat dual booting is the only viable solution because most anti cheat’s that don’t work with Linux/proton will flag you as cheating if you try to use a vm.

If its some older game its prolly better to use a vm for that OS, lien a lot of old games for windows XP or windows 95 are like that. For really old ones you can just use dosbox which is very tried and true.

If it’s just some random game that doesn’t work I either A: figure it will get working in some way eventually or B: give up on ever playing it again.

I think I’m at the point where if a new game comes out and it didn’t work on Linux I just wouldn’t buy it. But I might be an outlier since most of the games I like usually get a Linux port or will work with proton anyways

Classic Mac OS 7.5.3 -> 8.5 -> 9.2 -> Windows 2000 -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8.1 -> 10 -> Pop!_OS (for a few years but eventually wanted a KDE based distro) -> Garuda Linux (for a few years but wanted to try out nobara for gaming) -> Nobara (for now, great for gaming, frustrating for programming because of package differences) and other unknown reasons)

It seems like Fortran except it’s python syntax and it’s weakly typed so you will get into type checking hell if you use any library which tries to be fancy and create their own types.

Outside of the syntax though: The speedups look really cool!

I’m curious to see what potential speedups would look like in a large project.

Additionally, I’m curious to see what the power requirements are for programs written in it since it seems like it will highly parallelize all statements in the language.

I also wonder how soon it will be for someone to implement a deadfish / bf / lisp interpreter in it

‘ssh -X’ will do x11 forwarding if the config on the remote system is set up properly

Wayland is good, it is nice to be able to forward X apps over ssh though

The Linux mint live installer comes with the bcmwl-kernel-source package which will allow you to install it. It worked on my 2013 MacBook Pro which uses a Broadcom chip
