I got an e-ink device because it's easier on the eyes and battery easily lasts a week when I go camping.

If it were possible to get an e-ink display, I would definitely use one for programming.

No, the #steam deck is just an attempt to secure their longevity if #Microsoft tries to kick them from #windows.

The steam deck is also a way to get people to buy more games.

@razieltakato @pyromaniac_donkey yeah, if you read the news posts you won't have issues.

Breaking changes are also fewer and farther between these days.

I mean, I have never had to distrohop to solve a problem. Granted, I have had to boot off a flash drive to fix issues on more than one occasion.

As the other guy said, #NixOS is great. It requires some learning however.

You can convert them to azw3 with calibre. It's what I do.

Yeah Lemmy is definitely lacking polish in a number of areas. One of the things that bothers me most about Lemmy is that the local feed is the default instead of subscribed.

This is most definitely my experience with a lot of CS professors unfortunately.

@porkins regarding music streaming...idk I download flac off Usenet....

As far as video editing there are two that people use, davinci resolve, which is proprietary, and kdenlive which is FOSS.

As far as cad, your only good options are blender and freecad. Blender is mesh modeling, but I've been able to do precise mechanical stuff with a few addons. As far as freecad goes...idk I haven't used it.

@porkins out of curiosity, what software do you need access to that isn't in linux? These days I am not really missing anything.

Embrace, extend, extinguish.

It was an internal Microsoft term for bringing stuff under their umbrella
