Your experience from 80s is similar to my experience now with Switch games (it’s not the same only because I’m not a kid). Download times do suck but I have a really simple solution for them: I simply do something else until it’s finished. And there are great games that don’t take much space space on your storage, Balatro is first one that comes to mind.
Probably won’t buy Switch 2 because consoles are really expensive in my country, main reason why I bought Switch lite and not normal Switch is price. From TTYD source code it seems like Switch 2 will be 4K so price will most likely be out of reach for me.
I was so hyped when I saw it, can’t wait to play it. I really hope that it will be for Switch (please don’t be for Switch 2).
I use EndeavourOS (which is almost the same as Arch) for gaming and it works great.
You can do .net on Linux but Windows is much better for that. I recommend using Windows for work and Linux for everything else.
I recommend going with Virt-manager, it works much better than VirtualBox in my experience.
My first distro was Ubuntu because it is a beginner distro and it looked interesting.
I use Heroic games launcher for Epic and it supports GOG too.
It works, thanks.
Around 1 and a half years.
I never used Wayland but Xorg works really well.
Don’t copy terminal commands from internet if you don’t know what they do. Also, try new things just to try them. That’s how I started using many things that now make the core of my computer experience. Even if something looks scary I recommend giving it a go because in most cases it is much easier than it looks (at least when you have some experience with Linux).
YouTube can be a good resource at the start.
Switching to Linux was very smooth experience for me because I wanted to inform myself about Linux before switching just to know what I’m getting into. If you go prepared you probably won’t experience many problems.
Problem I have with Flatpak is their way of naming packages which makes them very akward to run in a WM. That’s basically the only reason why I haven’t used Flatpak since I switched to WMs, pacman and AUR also work really well so there isn’t even a reason to use something else.
To be fair, I would see why. Arch isn’t that hard to install anymore so some people see Arch-based distros that are just Arch with GUI installer as useless. I use EndeavourOS just because GUI installer is more convinient to me.
Alacritty, no particular reason. It’s fast and I already made it look how I want so there is no reason to switch.
Qtile is really good. I also recommend XMonad if you know Haskell, it is my main WM.
Started more than 2 years ago with Ubuntu, now I’m on EndeavourOS.
Couldn’t find any that works for me. At the moment I just play my music in mpv from terminal.
Because I prefer using keyboard for almost everything and in most cases terminal is faster than GUI.
It is my favourite 2D Mario game. Level design is really good, I like new power ups and physics are very good. Wonder effects are mostly interesting but there are few boring ones. Bosses aren’t that bad to me, it is a shame that it’s only Bowser Jr. and that some worlds don’t have a boss but fights on their own aren’t bad. Final boss is the best 2D Mario boss to me for now (I haven’t played all 2D Mario games). New playable characters are also really nice (besides Yoshi i Nabbit being easy mode) and badges are really good.
It’s a really good game but I think that it is a bit overrated and even though it is my favourite 2D Mario it isn’t my favourite 2D platformer.
I mean basic programming in general, as basic as it gets. It’s not guaranteed that every student has programming experience.
