I have great memories renting N64s before I owned one.

Japanese people use CDs quite a bit still.

Yeah photopea is sick

Yeah I used to pirate Adobe software religiously. Every version. Now I just use inkscape and suffer through the occasional GIMP session.

Honestly I don’t run pirated software at all anymore. The risk is too high. If it’s a game then I’m happy to pay for it, and open source software covers pretty much everything else for me.

The only exception is switch games but they run through an emulator which is quite safe.

Most media files are safe but I’ve heard that PDFs of all files can be vectors.

I wonder fire it will do on pc

I thought dkms was recommended only for alternative kernels, and that nvidia or nvidia-open is what’s recommended generally.

I would say don’t overthink the distro. Just about any distro will provide nearly the same performance in gaming, some will just pre-install drivers that you could just install manually. Proton takes care of just about everything automatically anyways.

I enjoyed installing arch as it was a learning experience, and I learn more every time I install it on other machines. But Ubuntu would probably be just fine and has a ton of documentation, and a healthy community to provide support.

I think a lot of Linux newcomers get stalled on this choice because the options are overwhelming. There are so many choices. But at the end of the day once the installation is over, the experience will be almost the same as another distro with the same desktop environment.

If you want to run Linux, choose an distro that is easy to install and just dive into it. If you like tinkering with computers then you will love running Linux.

Why wait? Linux has never been better. I have tried to daily drive various distros for the better part of a decade and have just recently (about a year ago) settled in Arch and have never looked back.

Not what you’re asking about, but this guy was very inspirational for me wrt making latex diagrams easily.

Yeah I was just about to point that out for ya.

Tbf most Canadian grade 9 teachers skip it.

I teach this to my grade 9 class in Canada. It’s on the curriculum.

All vectors will be bitmaps when displayed on a screen.

Yeah but sometimes you want a circle in a bitmap.

Well it’s still a good idea to have shapes saved as vectors in a bitmap program. So resizing doesn’t affect the shape.

Have you tried photopea?

Yeah it’s not for everybody but the price is quite reasonable. You’re basically just paying for the bandwidth.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure a huge proportion of Lemmy users on the self hosting community run Linux, kind of a swing and a miss advertisement in these parts.

How is this news? This news the plan all along, they were quite vocal about it. Free to play games are always funded by mtx.

I know this is an unpopular opinion here but I think the game looks dope, having followed development since the beginning. The animations look sick and I’m always there for another skateboarding game. I just won’t buy any skins.
