>linux is unusable without them
I barely use them. You're probably trying to do things in some retarded ass backwards way rather than learning how to actually use linux.

Using a package manager is generally easier than the windows random .exe lottery, but it is different and requires re-learning the way you do things.

>>107849495
flatpaks just ship the system libraries with them, retard. though then so do many windows software packages (which is why to run one .exe you need 200 .dlls)

Any time you run an exe that doesn't ship with a bunch of dlls it's using system libraries just like on linux.

>>107848705
flatpaks and AppImage are a godsend

>>107848705
I only use flatpaks when I absolutely have to.
And honestly, there are a few I'd get rid of if doing so weren't such a massive pain in the ass.

How's HDR and FSR 4 on Mint? I'd rather use Mint than CachyOS.

In evolutionary terms, a "Pleasure Trap" occurs when the organism is exposed to "supernormal stimuli" (highly concentrated sources of pleasure) that did not exist during evolutionary development.
For millions of years, calories and dopamine-spiking resources were scarce, evolution favored the
>"Motivator Triad":
Seek pleasure (food and sex). Avoid pain. Conserve energy.
An ancestor who found a rare honeycomb would gorge on it because those calories were vital for survival. Today, we have engineered substances (processed sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, digital entertainment, drugs) that provide a dopamine hit far more intense than anything found in nature. Your brain cannot distinguish between a natural reward and a concentrated modern one. It treats the "supernormal stimulus" as a survival signal. Over time, the brain down-regulates its receptors to protect itself, meaning you need more of the substance just to feel "normal," leading to obesity or addiction.
Apply the same principle to social interaction.

>>107849894
Interesting! I suppose evolution essentially "locks in" a strategy that works for the present moment but because it cannot see far into the future it can easily create a dead end where the organism is too "successful" to innovate, making it prime for extinction if the environment changes significantly.

>>107849894

Our hardware (brains) is still running "software" designed for a world of scarcity and slow change while our current world is defined by hyper-abundance and rapid volatility.

An iPad because you want to draw, every other use case you should get the Samsung.

it's actually hilarious how adverse g and ic are to ipads in general. I personally know an extremely talented artist who works for a game studio and works/knows tons of people in the industry. a huge majority of them use an ipad + procreate for at least the beginning stages of their sketches or artwork. they'll obviously do post work with different programs but it says enough that it's a comfortable medium for professionals and will serve the needs of 99% of the people who are not professionals which is essentially everyone on 4chan. you got nigs on IC that spend thousands on xppen gear and can barely draw a box in perspective

iPads seems to have a more streamlined software where everything is cohesive.

Samsung's software is all over the place with 10 different fonts for the home screen. That being said Samsung ad blocker is the best I have ever seen. It even blocks ads on apps like YouTube and TikTok.

If you want to draw seriously just get a drawing tablet for pc, not having keyboard shortcuts will hinder you
If you just want to sketch occasionally it doesn't really matter what tablet you get

Extremely darksided technology.

I used LLM to psychoanalyze my own behaviors and I came to the conclusion I am a Narcissistic, psychopathic schizoid, and that's a good thing! It really explains a lot, basically with the kind of person I am in, even in actual therapy I was never being fully open. AI allows me to be fully open and reach the core in a way you cannot with humans, that is the power of LLM.

Yeah I can help you make a local bin shortcut hat launches a Windows XP VM in seamless mode.

First use msconfig to get your app to start up on XP then I need to figure out how to get virtual box Windows xp to start in seamless mode. The end result should be a desktop Icon running the wrapper to boot you app. You also need a shared folder between the VM but that's easy.

>>107800025
the only story of note of my time in school was when one of the teachers didn't know how to open an readme.md file i sent to him. seeing that level of incompetence from a teacher kinda wrecked my worldview, since i had known nothing but really smart teachers in other places of learning. but in a way it was helpful since i realized that my degree was going to be worthless, and that pushed me to study on my own and ignore the teachers for the most part

The best teacher I ever had at uni (like 5 years ago) literally did not know what git was.
He would teach graphics by explaining a scene graph, (loosely) what and how matrix math works and how it applies to vertex and vector transformations in rendering, the works. He also taught soft computing, which is the reason I know about natural and artificial neural nets, and genetic algorithms instead of just thinking "AI is a python script".
The man was sharp as a tack and seriously experienced, one of those sage types with a long white beard where the length of it is proportional to programming wisdom, but somehow had no idea what git was. One must assume he was just keeping multiple copies of his data over his multi decade tenure.
He also loved the Dreamcast. Said it was the first console that had spare polygons in its per frame budget. I miss that guy.

>>107837622
Depends what you need. If you just need source control, issues, and documentation publishing, run a Fossil instance. It'll let you keep all that under your direct control.
It's up to you what you put in it. If it's stuff which governments want to censor, you'll have to deal with the consequences eventually, ngl.

Office software is the bottleneck.
You're gonna need word and excel for most anything you work with and everyone uses MS word. MS is actively going out of their way to break compatibility as much as they can, sure most any fork of OpenOffice can open their files but it will break formatting, fonts, images, formulas... Anything MS can make break.
So even if you're interested in fully switching, you're still fucked because normalfags have sold their soul to the MS jeet and will happily use their 365 copilot app till the heat death of the universe. Ask me how I know.
>>107848987
You can still get around it but now they'll break updates for you. Which may or may not be an added benefit.

GEG if you only knew how bad it is
At work I was literally put on duty of going through every optiplex and setting up windows for typical joe office worker. Due to security, local account was insisted on.
90% of time was wasted on trying to trick OOB to fuck off with the cmd tricks. We didn't have ms-cxh:localonly at the time (either was not there or just uknown,I don't remember) so had to use the older command that is now removed from latest releases. I did try to bypass OOTB with the sysprep mode and registry tricks, but then seemingly this would prevent some software from being updated (keep in mind, for both techniques I had my internet cable pulled)
Due to the boomers that ran the place, I was not allowed to use MS server WDS or anything like that, in fact they expected me to not even use scripts caues muh viruses and muh warranty, though scripts were allowed after I showed them to the higherup (he admitted he didnt understand it anyways)
After I was at least able to get in local account, I had to run a debloat script and set up a bunch of stuff like pcname, update, etc
I got through 70 units in 4 days, 8h a day, about 4 stations at the time, largely wasted on waiting for OS to debloat itself. Last time the higherups that did this apparently didn't use scripts, and therefore it would take them 2 weeks+ of manual work.
Keep in mind that I am an autist who is willing to read into random user guides on how to foce windows to do what I want. If not people who maintain altas, id not know about a decent amount of best practices. Everything is obtuse and shittly documented
The sysprep mode would allow me to cut down on time by solid 5 min per machie, but because of it refusing to install some things like the default suite of modern apps, I could not use it. I bet its possible, but do you think I got the time to research why and how this happens? LMAO
