My dumass thought op meant programming language, and I spent 2 minutes thinking of some sarcastic reply.

Initial D with Assetto Corsa, not too bad. Second place goes to Better call Saul and left 4 dead 2.

Wave 1. The software does not work because it is made for some other platform, but the hardware is good and does not have any software locked features (very basic mic). The hardware mute key does not unmute the mic though, not sure what's up with that...

Imma be honest, this 100% looks like xorg.

Tmux + nvim for editing code and bspwm for a fully keyboard only workflow. I have some keybinds in tmux to open a new pane and run cargo or whatever command is necessary to run the code.

I was writing just writing some code one day. I then realised something, I needed to press " key twice. I thought my keyboard had died, but the behaviour was consistent so that's unlikely. Then I realised what happened. Windows had installed and set English international as the default layout, and I was unable to switch it out in settings. Even if I manually switch to English us, it would eventually go back. And editing the registry to remove it just made all windows system apps shit themselves.

Now at the same time, I had a laptop. It had an update pending for a few weeks, but the update kept failing and hence I had not allowed it to update this time. But as I open up my laptop to code on there with the right keyboard layout, I see the update screen. THE LAPTOP WAS NEVER TURNED OFF, and it was plugged in. I waited and waited till it finally failed yet again.

Also shortly after one more of these attempts was made my windows which wiped my encryption keys and made my system unbootable or recoverable.

I had used Linux on a Chromebook before with custom firmware, all my dev work happend in wsl, and I had did a lot of projects on the raspberry pi, so for me the logical step was to completely wipe my SSD and install Linux mint. That happened about 4 years ago and I have not ever thought of leaving Linux. I did switch to arch though, so I use arch btw.

Neovim. Nothing interesting, but it gets the job done way better than anything else I tried. I had my own config until a week ago, when I switched to nvchad because of my unwillingness to port my config to lazy.nvim plugin manager.

Oh this looks interesting. I will definitely give it a shot.

I use arch btw. I am waiting for vanilla os v2 for my laptop though, I think it would be great for a device which I want to "just work". Rn it has Ubuntu with some dell repos which have not been updated since Ubuntu 20.

Insomnia, or if you really love the command line and dont need to document or save your API requests, curl (don't recommend this for anything beyond simple testing).

I can 100% back this up. I never had any issues with any of the games I play. The most effort I put in was get dotnet for assetto corsa using protontricks, and that is pretty much the only game which required tweaking from me. I mostly play metroidvanias, and all of them work for me. I can also vouch for 99% of the games out there. Warframe and csgo also work really well.
