The Turkey Devil

1. For Linux enthusiasts, how do you decide which distro you would like to try out next among the plethora of options that are available? The difference I perceive between majority of distros gets smaller the more I try to understand about them.

2. What are the minimum issues I am likely to face using the most beginner friendly distro like Mint for programming and light gaming?

3. How customizable is the GUI in Linux Mint specifically? What if I want a start menu like Windows 10 with the app list and the blocky app tiles? What about those custom widgets I see in hardcore Linux users’ desktops?

4. I heard there is no concept of file extensions in Linux. How am I supposed to work on my projects that I imported from my Windows machine that do contain extensions?

Bonus: Who creates those distro icons in color coded ASCII in the system info command in the terminal?

I actually meant the home page of your blog site, but modifying each blog in a similar fashion could also be great if possible, although that may also depend on the type of audience you are expecting that would read them.

A few of these articles genuinely interest me. I may consider reading them whenever I get time later.

I’m not much expert at reading blogs either lol. I think my suggestion as a novice reader would be to include a short piece of intro text at the beginning of the page to describe what topics the blog talks about (maybe sum it in about 1-2 sentences). That way I would instantly get to know if it is something I am interested to read or not.

But then again, I am a novice so I don’t know any better 😔

A for effort

I am seeing this comment right after I finished ‘Life is Strange’…

Not suggesting any big things here… All I propose is to have the options for toggling the canvas overlays (empty canvas, heat, template) directly within the canvas editing screen instead of putting it in the sidebar, kinda like Google Maps. I think the sidebar version would be preferred in mobiles, so you could make this desktop only.

Alternatively, you could allow the user to place pixels on the canvas even while the sidebar is opened, like the way it was for the first 48 hours of the event. Also ensure the right side of the color palette is not hidden by the sidebar.

Would love to help. Could you share a template?

Oh…

Tbh I’ve kind of forgetten what little French I managed to learn earlier, so this wouldn’t work for me either

On a completely unrelated note, I had a first glance at the thumbnail of this article and I was convinced the photo was taken in real life until I noticed the ‘cybernetic seam’ on the subject’s face. I almost couldn’t recognise this as an in-game screenshot and I already consider myself adept in recognising such images.

thank mr skeltal

I need more blog posts like these…

Is it good to be engaged enough to be recognised in Lemmy? I don’t know if the big players around here are just spending their entire day on Lemmy as many people on Redditors do. There is a small part of me that too wishes to be recognized as an active member in this community but I don’t want it at the expense of my real life.

And here I was thinking I was looking at some high-end barbeque station…

Man, it was miles better when I just knew him as the motion guy back in primary school

I love when people make the effort to do this kind of stuff and I got the opportunity to have someone do it for my post.

Thanks dude. You have made my day…

Been in this situation countless times. Everytime this happens I promise myself I will be grateful and enjoy the ability to breathe through both of my nostrils once it happens and yet I forget about it the next day

Though I know very little of enum and never used it before, I think this is what I needed. I couldnt imagine there would exist a type exactly for this purpose since I could consider adding or deprecating data later in time. I would need time understanding how I need to restructure the current JSON object to accomodate enums, but I think it will be worth it. Thanks for you time!

Ive heard about enums before, but I never really paid attention to them since I never got a need to use them in any of my projects till now. I think this is exactly what I need. Ill research more on it

Thank you so much for your help
