I know you're on ubuntu, but installing programs depends on your distribution. Some programs are in your software library, some aren't. But there will always be a way to get the program. For instance, I use Gentoo and Mullvad. The way I set it up is with Wireguard so I control it through the terminal, this is because Gentoo has no mullvad app. Otherwise, you can often add new libraries to your system. Again, on Gentoo Steam is not in my repository by default. So, I added the steam repository to my system so I could get it. For Mullvad, I'm pretty sure they offer a deb package, which Ubuntu can use. Otherwise, some other distributions offer a mullvad app in their repository by default. Try other distributions and see what clicks. A lot of linux is experimentation. I personally prefer doing a lot of things fairly manully, so I use Gentoo with essentially only a terminal for control. Linux Mint, Devian, Arch, Void, Nix, Gentoo; there's tons of choices so there's going to be something that you click with.

I use it, been using it for a while. Both my desktop and laptop run it. I like it a lot and find it really easy to use. Amytime I find an issue I can pretty quickly fix it and keep my system clean. Games run great, my music production software is great, it's fast, and just overall very enjoyable to use.

I really wish they'd fix this issue already. I've never seen it persistent on any other website before.

I know that, but I still hate having to. Having that as a common issue is just dumb, to me.

The arch breaks were always related to keys. I would run an update and there would always be an error related to the keys. Never had a breakage due to confs.

It's an one in all tool. I like that I can do almost everything through one program.

Debian, don't like apt.
Arch, breaks too much.
NixOs, just don't need the tools it provides.
Any fork of a mainline distro because it's never as good as the root.

I used arch for a while, but got sick of running repairs every few weeks. I use Gentoo now, it's stable and good. I have a fuck ton of ram and a good cpu, I also take advantage of binary packages from time to time. I don't really need to install new things that much after having done the initial install.

It can be used for other stuff. I use dwm and find that on occasion some programs aren't nice in dwm or don't work well. So, i suggest having both a tiling and a floating.

I chose streetkid but started skipping all cutscenes in the final hours cause I really don't care. The characters and world is so boring but the gameplay is good. I'd say in most situations you can skip dialogue and choose first option with no problems at all.

My current project is called Obfuscation. It's atmospheric synth music inspired by aliens.

My previous project was Das Kommando. It was a harsh black noise project about violent suicide.

Yeah, I'm proud that I have self control and have maintained a lifestyle that many people fail at. I'm proud to be associated with a community of people that live the same way. It's better than being proud of how much booze you can down or how high you can get.

I just eat a raw onion. (Not joke)
