I’ve been using (X)Ubuntu for ages. I just wanted something that “just works”. Tired of too much tinkering and there’s plenty of (non commercial) support. Mixing it with i3 as my window manager.

Roast me ;)

You can also use something like notifyd to generate a pop up for visual feedback :) I can’t remember the exact command right now though. Differs per distro or desktop environment, obviously.

I have been experimenting with Reaper a bit, but I am a sort of DAW noob, so it’s kind of hard to get in to. I’ve done a tiny bit using Lmms though, but I am missing synthesizer stuff in Reaper. I’ve tried installing plugins by putting them into the proper folders and let Reaper attempt to resolve it, but it doesn’t really work as expected.

Any tips? Especially for Linux of course. Many of the tutorials are Windows oriented.

I’ve never finished Skyrim because of literally this. Started the game six times, got bored every time :D

Fish is a really great shell for daily use. There’s so much built in, its scripting language is better (not portable though if someone else does not have fish).

Fair enough, but Python is not that hard, especially for simple calculations. Start up the repl and type away!

from math import *
x = sin(12) + pi * 3.2
y = tan(x)
y
# prints 0.09200389785419612

Why not just use python as a calculator then?

Is Python scripting working on version 3.0? For the life of me I can’t get that to work on version 2 (whichever version).

Hey man you’re human! Mistakes! Everyone makes them! At least you admit it, right :D

Eh, what’s a dcp?

My go to hack was quickly running a python http server and connect to it. I can’t remember what the command was exactly. Something like python -m http.server or so, then connect to the ip from my phone, heh.

Because it’s a statically compiled binary, it tends to grow the size of the binary. Increases portability though.

Wow I forgot I once made a DragonBall Z skin for winamp. It’s still there :D Blast from the past!!

Take this advice, especially if you are just starting with Linux. You can also install it in a VM if you are still running Windows, to get a feeling of different desktop environments (Gnome, xfce, KDE, etc) before choosing.

I figured it’s more like evil that resides somewhere. Like “there is a resident evil in this house”, a presence. Then again I’m not native English so what do I know :)

Edit: nevermind, I misread your comment. Yeah I don’t reckon they are necessarily evil.

Axiom Verge 1 is a great metroidvania. I also tried 2, but it didn’t click with me at all. Cave Story is great as well. Dead Cells, but that’s more of a rogue lite game. Binding of Isaac is also one of my favorites, but it’s a top down rogue like.

This is extremely helpful!! The filters are arcane and it really helped me out with something :D

Fish shell has this built-in with Ctrl+R :)

Yeah same! I tried to romance Shadowheart but when she wanted to kill you-know-who, I had to fight her :( And yeah second playthrough I knew the mechanics better as well so the acts were more of a breeze than a hurricane :D

As a plus side, I noticed I missed some areas and quests, so that was nice too!

I’m on my second playthrough. It’s the very first single player game I’ve ever played twice in a row, just after finishing it the first time :) I wanted to play the bad guy but couldn’t do it. I love the companions too much to be evil :)
