git is fine. girhub sucks ass and if a I am ever directed to it then that project is dead to me.

if you’re on Linux mint, check to see if mint itself is out of date. When I installed mint, the only install media I could find was 2 versions behind. Getting to the current version fixed my warframe problems.

i remember it as “the last version of windows you’ll ever need” and they were absolutely correct.

I switched to linux full time almost a year ago.

I have been thus far entirely unsuccessful in convincing anyone else to make the jump. Normal people do not give a fuck, will not lift a finger to improve their digital lives. I’ve been telling friends and family about adblockers for YEARS, and not a single one ever bothered to do it of their own volition. If I don’t do it for them, then they just sit through ads like complacent sheep. None of them are going to change operating systems if they can’t even install a browser extension.

solution: a checkbox for “show advanced settings”.

also, sounds like i should try kde

a cluttered ui that works is better than a pretty ui that doesn’t.

i imagine a perfect world in which everything has guis and the guis contain all the information I could want about what it does including the relevant terminal commands. In this way, the gui is also the manual.

If the GUI is good, then it’s self documenting.

I imagine a perfect world in which full guis exist for every setting, and in the tooltips for those settings you can find an explanation of the terminal command to also do the thing. In this way, the gui is the manual for the command line.

To quote Wonderbot: “I don’t need tutorials, I need verbose tooltips.”

This thread has made it clear to me that I should wait another year before checking on gimp again.

anime style anything and gpt will stick a character in it

also no hotseat multiplayer

Civ6 still isn’t in a state that I’m happy with playing it over civ 5, or even civ4. What makes them think I’d give civ7 the time of day?

Back in the day, I learned how to network winxp machines together, without a router, and without being able access the internet to find instructions, all because everything I needed to know about any given setting was in the gui where I could manipulate that setting. I had lan parties featuring dozens of pcs, all manually configured. Was this the correct way to do things? Fuck no, but it worked. I was able to make it work because I could see everything I needed to as I was doing it.

None of the above would have been possible if CLI was the only option.
