Is it really that hard to believe that at least 6.33% of Linux users on Steam are running Arch?

>>108514073
It's about 50% since it's the easiest to use and has the best compatibility

>>108514073
NTA but i believe that there are more CatchyOs users than pure Arch ones.

Windows 11 is an embarassing OS. I feel sorry for these people.

>Old Gnome is best Gnome anyway.
It was forked exactly because GNOME at the time was considered watered down dogshit that Mint had to fix. GNOME has arguably improved since then.

Fedora is one of the more vanilla-oriented distros. The desktop is delivered as is without too many bloated additions.

I'm pretty sure one of the recent Linus Tech Tips videos had to opt for non-LTS for their tests since LTS was too old and buggy for their use case.

By that you mean no real reason to install it over Ubuntu or Debian.

fuck it, I'll be kind, because you're probably just starting out etc. It's a depricated and no longer maintained browser. offer IceRaven and harden it with ublock and other about:config tweaks

I tried it but went with FOSS Browser instead, another system webview one. I think it edged it out in some random criteria I had like the app starting faster. There was also a new one called "FREE Browser" which seemed alright.

run task scheduler
vet scheduled tasks, disable/delete any entries that are suspicious

Thank you! I will be sure to keep those ideas on my mind next time I'm trying to build something.
>it's great for quickly getting you details on problems that might have taken a while before but you need to understand that it frequently makes up bullshit so you need to verify its output
How I can verify its output when I don't even know what is going on? I think for compiler errors I should tell it what happened but for more logic related errors, how does that even work? Should I tell it what is wrong and keep asking until it's fixed?

Also would you recommend using an IDE like cursor to really help the AI explore my files and understand what is going on? Or just using the web UI is good enough for most cases?

>try to do stuff yourself and ask for input if you get stuck would be my advice
I was reading on other places and some mentioned about telling the AI not to give the code outright and instead give some hints as to what could be happening. Do you think it's a good way to go about it?

But thank you so much for taking the time anon! I appreciate it!

>>108514120
it sounds like you're thinking about relying on it a bit more exclusively than i think you should. llms are one tool in a large toolbox, not your sole source of guidance. don't be afraid to search google, check documentation, read guides, or seek out discussions as well. if you think you're missing something, approach it from multiple angles so you can get a sense of what you're missing. introductory guides are a great starting point in terms of structure, you might want to start there instead of just outright starting with an llm. but often they'll talk about something that goes over your head early on, so you can ask an llm to give more info in places where there are gaps. don't be afraid to bounce back and forth between whatever tools are available to you, including llms.

>Do you think it's a good way to go about it?
yes. one of the oldest teaching methods is the socratic method, basically asking probing questions to get you to think about thinks you might not have considered and come to conclusions on your own. you don't want it to just feed you the answer, understanding how you got there both teaches you the fundamental concepts which are often applicable elsewhere but also just helps you remember things.

Fair enough. Would've been handy to apply an effect to multiple layers simultaneously.
Still, the worst you could say about GIMP is that producing the same final image (historically) would take more steps. But at the end of the day you can produce the same final image.

>>108512306
If you are using AI tools they have its reasonable for $20 but if I don't see a reason to pay for it unless you use it for work. Its not 99$

Getting in the top 10% of CS graduates is easy provided you care about CS

>>108491230
Main issue isn't even that recent grads aren't getting hired. That's part of the issue. But with entry-level jobs, it's almost always that HR tends to hire entirely based on nepotism. You're already ruled out from their pool of candidates the moment you don't know anyone. The entire pool is tossed away because the daughter of one of the seniors or management is also graduating. No, they do not care what her resume has, only the salary of the position. There was never a competition. It was always a free pass for some individuals. You thought Ivy Leagues were hard to get into, and were getting gamed by the rich? Think of that for every job, but on steroids.

>>108514052
And what makes this problem even worse, is that, even when miraculously, you do get thru the filter and are getting interviewed, it's only the people they like more who get thru, which is what the behavioral is for. They only hire people like themselves. So you're not getting thru if you're someone who does not act exactly like the rest, or if you're significantly more skilled and accomplished than others (igniting jealousy). Plus, HR highly favors women throughout the entire process, since both women are in HR, and men in management would much rather work with an attractive woman for obvious reasons, so if an attractive woman is also competing for the same position, say goodbye to the role.

>>108513989
>Getting in the top 10% of CS graduates is easy provided you care about CS

Nowadays that implies a PhD and research experience in AI. It doesn't matter how much you care about CS, being the best you can be at math and statistics trumps any passion for the field itself. Also, being good at traditional algorithms/leetcode is becoming less and less valuable as AI takes over.

its called forward compatibility. when program made on windows 11 doesnt run on windows 7. backward compatibility is the best. contrary, Linux has a poor module/binary/linker design so programs dont run on the same kernel on different distros.

It's pretty quick/simple if you disable Secure Boot (or use something Ubuntu-based or Fedora) but if you want to use something like Arch with it then you need to firstly disable Secure Boot and install Arch over some freed up space from Windows, and then use sbctl to have the kernel/bootloader images signed so Secure Boot doesn't get pissy about it.
