uv is good but it needs a little more time in the oven.

For the moment I would definitely recommend poetry if you are not a library developer. Poetry’s biggest sin is it’s atrocious performance but it has most of the features you need to work with Python apps today.

The 1980s is when the baby boomers discovered the stockmarket but hadn’t learned from the 1920s why some forms of regulation exist and then they just continued that mentality right up to the present.

Is it just my hardware?

It is not your hardware

Am i using linux just wrongly for years?

Not really

Is it my fault?

Not really

The main issue from what I can tell is you are trying to play older windows games which can be pretty hit or miss. More recent pc games often support the steam deck which is usually a good sign for compatibility.

Gaming on Linux has greatly improved over the last couple years (especially thanks to proton/steam deck) but if you are trying to run older games that were never designed to run to it or you want to play online games with aggressive anti-cheat it is still going to be a bit of a struggle.

I would recommend sticking to an Arch based distro like EndeavourOS (as it is similar to the SteamOS) or a Debain based distro and not swap around too much so you can get a feel for it without having a bunch of things change on you all the time like package names and the like.

All that said if your jam is older windows games and you have access to windows and are tired of messing with the OS and just want to play games just use windows, try linux another day.

Some games are trickier than others for sure. Are you using protondb as a reference?

Anno 1404 is a 15 year old game with aggressive DRM so I could tell right away that it would be one of the more tricky titles.

I’ve been trying fin Droid which works well but it’s definitely a work in progress.

I mean that is true but there is some nuance.

At one time it was a cheap way to protect your site from drive by scripts and make your users help pay for that protection.

They still work in that way on say the comment section of a tiny WordPress blog because the cost to solve them isn’t worth what a random boner pill ad is worth.

The issue now (made worse recently by LLMs) is that more bots then ever are scraping any and every thing so people are putting captchas on every bit of every web app content they have. This increases the work of your users while it only slows down the bots. The hope is that the cost to solve is slightly higher than the value of the data.

I mean if they just wait a bit they are one road grinder away from a new road.

I do enjoy the rust compiler error messages. They are nicely formatted

You might say he was very svelte

The word cancelled has lost all meaning.

I understand it’s not for everyone but I jumped ship to Linux 10 years ago or so. The defining moment was me disabling Cortana only to have her reappear after an update.

At least with Linux when I’m fighting the OS it doesn’t feel like the OS developers are fighting back.

I go there to buy Nintendo games because I don’t trust Nintendo not to do weird crap with their digital goods.

I mean they give you 100 searches to try before asking you to pay so the opportunity cost to find out is pretty low.

Actually while for myself it is sometimes DNS, if I see an internet wide outage it’s usually BGP.

Except when it comes to SSDs.

Under some work loads they just get chewed to bits long before they are obsolete.

Good. People can wait a few days to get their packages if it means better working conditions.

Gits UI is still terrible.

The reason it is popular is because it is the VCS of the Linux kernel and github became the defacto open source social media site.

I always preferred mercurial as a user but all the tooling and everything else built in the last decade has been for git so it makes sense.

It was weird that they ever had them to begin with.

I wonder if the Soviets ever had installations named after white military commanders.

I keep telling people metric time is where it’s at but they just look at me like I’m crazy
