Holy shit, you’re right. I guess I was thinking of 10’s EOL as the start of 11’s.

Ikr? Didn’t we just do this?

Man, fuck those guys

Probably because that’s what tends to happen in the training data

Happens more often the better you get at your craft. I used to say that if you don’t hate the code you wrote last year, you’re not improving. Well, let’s just say I finally stopped hating mine.

Thanks!

Why that and not standard Ubuntu-based Mint? At minimum you lose PPAs and the Driver Manager. What’s the upside?

Yeah, I meant rewrites of complete shipped products, so your exception fits

Exactly. Full rewrites nearly always end in failure.

One one hand, yes it’s hard. But also, some progression is permanent, and it is possible to build momentum over the course of a single run and over all you runs in a way that can snowball. The first biome and boss is probably the hardest, because you as a player are at your least skilled and the caps on your maximum power are still quite low as well. If you can push past the first biome and boss, you can beat the game because your power cap grows faster than the difficulty does.

That’s not all! It’s also less rewarding!

Not to oversimplify it, but first we had to make the rocks very thin, then put lightning inside them

Expedition 33, Verso talks Monoco into coming with them to Old Lumiere.

Oh no I’m not ready I haven’t finished CO:E33 yet

Yep. There’s lots it can do, but more I wouldn’t trust it with. Useful for certain tasks.

Awesome, thanks for sharing your experiences!

What? No they aren’t hard to move. They’re usually just one file. Copy to your new machine and done.

I did my first ever Linux install on a new build last year. I chose Mint, and the process was very smooth with only a few minor bumps getting up to date drivers for my newish AMD GPU. Since then I’ve grown increasingly annoyed by how limited GNOME applications are in general while also gaining increasing respect for the amount of functionality packed into KDE applications. So I’ve been shopping around for a KDE distribution. Fedora and openSUSE keep coming up, and I think I’ll be trying openSUSE soon. So I guess I’ll be skipping from the bottom left all the way to the top right.

I have no idea what kind of life experience you have, but take my word for it as a highly experienced software engineer when I say that MacBooks are a popular choice with professionals in my field and adjacent fields as well because of their high-quality construction, long-lasting battery life, and at its core a POSIX-compatible OS. Yes, the file manager is shitty and all the Apple walled-garden Store nonsense is all Tinker Toy hot garbage, but just install Homebrew and you’ve got yourself a decent package manager and you’re off to the races. Not all “Apple users” are the braindead consumerist zombies you imagine.

“Apple users” such as the IT professionals who live in their POSIX-compatible shell sessions on compact, powerful hardware that lasts all day on battery? OK, buddy.
