Lawnchair. An improved Launcher3 that I use in place of Lineage’s built-in launcher.

I don’t really like text-only “simple” launchers as the icons help with quickly figuring out what app does what. Some of the features the AOSP Launcher3 lacks are present in Lawnchair/(mainly more customization over existing features).

Mouse-heavy games like Cities: Skylines, Sims 3, and other management games. Due to a chronic injury, I’m force to mainly play with a controller, and trying to play these games with a controller would be abysmal.

Reading some of these replies, it seems people are only focusing on half of the process of learning an instrument.

Its not just the instrument you need to learn, it’s how to read sheet music as well. Most likely, you’re not going to find the exact coords to play with the delay in between written as seconds for the song you want. Its going to be in the format of sheet music, with the notes and other symbols.

That takes time to learn, like learning a new language. It’s something you need to learn either before or while learning an instrument, and that is something that can put a lot of people off.

I’m sure we’ll have it by 2076 in time for a nuclear winter.

Anyone have names for all the distros in this list? I only know about half of them.

Probably Minecraft. Since the old launchers never recorded hours, I would estimate somewhere over 1,500 hours. I’ve been playing it since the very early release versions like 1.2.

Second would be Stardew Valley at ~594 hours on Steam. Including time I spent on a console (I don’t know the exact amount), somewhere around 700 hours. I discovered this game around 2017 while shopping at a local retail store and picked up an XBOX copy before I discovered it was on Steam. Definitely one of my best purchases of all time.

So far, Linux has been great for me for most common apps, however there are a few niche apps that don’t run natively on Linux and are borked under wine.

paint.net is the main issue currently as the devs have stated they won’t make any other ports, and the latest versions have a “Garbage” rating on WineHQ. There is Pinta, which is based off an older version, but it’s not good enough for my use cases.

So, for the time being, I’m stuck with using a Win10 VM with a shared folder to use paint.net.

(And before anyone asks: No, GIMP will not work for me. It lacks the tools and plugins I use frequently with paint.net)

Linux distro derivatives of existing Linux distros, such as an “Arch-based” or “Debian-based” distro.

E.g. EndeavourOS is an Arch-based distro (derivative of ArchLinux). Ubuntu is a Debian-based distro, etc.

In case you didn’t know, I use Arch Linux.

Material Files for me. It feels like KDE’s Dolphin if it had an android port.

But actually it is probably “Tuesdays with Morrie” by Mitch Albom.

Its about someone who learns important life lessions from an old man who is dying from ALS.

This is/was a thing with the Grapple. NileRed made a video on it on their NileBlue channel.

I would say it was alright. I may not have had many friends, but that extra time I had allowed me to get into programming with JavaScript and Python.

That’s pretty cool. I wonder if some devs will use this in conjunction to the “Betas” system and have separate versions there that support mods for older versions.

I definitely did not accidentally break my ArchLinux (BTW) install for some time because I failed to read the wiki entry for grub when switching from systemd-boot.

Totally didn’t happen.
