Might switch back, use vivaldi for workspaces, I switched because it synced across devices but I never use that feature I just end up retyping everything if I need to open something.

Lol a kid can google how to install games on linux, just need one to do it and teach the others, I used to bring games on a usb to play on macs through wine through the school lan, eventually I put them in some random folder on the school network, it didnt delete it til like the last day of school my senior year, wed copy the games to our computers and delete them at the end of class.

Exactly, so many things would be more motivating with visuals, I think something like blender to represent math expressions/formulas with visuals could end up being a valuable classroom tool

I think ppl would like math more if they learned with better visuals, maybe blender will be used in the classroom to visualize expressions and formulas in the future, that is what made me like math.

If I had online resources growing up math would be easy, I relearned math weekly in college because it flowed out my brain, growing up having to learn off teachers/textbooks was always confusing and my parents were neve helpful. Also common thing is you just dont see how you’ll use math in your day to day (even tho it ends up being useful everywhere for anything)

highly reccomend robin hobb if you havent read her books already, if you like game of thrones youll see some similarities, shes friends with george rr martin and the read each others work

These aound really interesting ill check them out, death gate cycle sounds like it has a hard magic system? Always a fan of that

Its something ill check once some dialouge or character motivations start to throw me off, and if it effects like a whole gender not just a few characters

Ill check it out, the naming sense alone is solid

Everything about that sounds awesome wtf, reminds me of witch hat atelier, anyone can do magic if taught but they act like its rare and are picky, only pick kids so they can teach them not to misuse it (the main “villains” are against that and want to give magic to all)

Robin Hobb is my favorite lol

Maybe my issue is avoiding popular books and going for the niche ones, I typically seek out hard magic systems and progression fantasy where it definitely is lacking

Oh I definitely rememebr reading it, was it the word magic stuff

I apparently have the first ebook, must’ve gotten distracted by some other series and forgotten it

mans competing with george rr martin and scott lynch

Brandon Sanderson just day dreams of other realities, hes at the level where he conciously can choose to see them like interdimensional cable

I see a price increase more likely in the future, maybe to boost sales by announcing it in advance

Not since 19 for dctl, reactor (which added hella of the festures free missed for free through an open source addon library) etc. got paywalled, 20 adds ai magicmask and subtitles also paywalled, like free is going to slowly lose features while not gaining new ones it seems

I also really like gparted, originally with the dual boot I had to manually partition the drive for the os and the boot paritition, took a couple minutes to figure our and its very convenient to be able to mess with your ssd easily just by plugging in a usb and booting into the live os from there. Idk if any other installers do that, if anyone knows please let me know, like the usb boots into kde plasma and you can kind of test out the ui while clicking through the gui installer.

Used cachyos for the last couple months, its a graphical installer, automatic everything, and when it loads you get a startup menu that you can click install gaming packages on to get anything youd download for gaming, its supposdely the only distro actually optimized for gaming and detects your hardware automatically to grab everything.

Off the install and one click installing those packages everything on my steam account (after checking proton compatibility cachyos setting) worked fine for me. Blender also works well, but in that case I needed to grab a driver for amd.

Bazzite made me nervous, I like being able to clixk through the install seeing what im doing. I reinstalled windows right before and did dualboot first, before removing windows and sticking with just cachyos. Cachyos was about 10x easier to install than windows and 1000000x faster, like it straight up took 2 minutes maybe while windows takes 2 hours, I was shocked that it was actually done.
