My move to Linux
  • I never used npp as my code editor but as a secondary program that i kept notes in and would paste text in to manipulate then move back into code editor. It had a rich plugin ecosystem way before that was common. I use Kate for those purposes instead now

  • My religion is atheist?
  • Believing things based on the best evidence you have available (someone told you what they're thinking) and believing things with no credible evidence (religion) are completely different things and one being a good idea does not mean the other one is.

  • My religion is atheist?
  • I would say I don't have one. Atheism is not a religion it is a description of a single attribute, lack of belief in any gods. People seem to think it means a lot more than it does.

  • Languages
  • I think rust has good ideas and may even become the default systems language in the mid-term. I find it irritating that there is a very vocal subset of rust proponents that tend to insist that every project in every language needs to be rewritten in rust immediately. I suspect that is also why other people are down on rust.

  • Dune Shell: bash + lisp
  • Kitty is the terminal emulator, the program that provides an interface. The shell you are using if you haven't changed anything is probably bash. So you would use duneshell instead of bash, but still in kitty

  • Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me?
  • It's better today than it was a year ago, and WAY better than it was 3 years ago, and is still improving. There are a few categories of games where you are likely to have problems though.

    • competitive multiplayer games [kernel level anticheat, that one will probably remain a problem]
    • very old games [getting better all the time, because wine is getting better all the times]
    • very new AAA games [they mostly use one of a handful of game engines, so they tend to get fixed in batches]

    I would say whether linux is ready for (windows) gaming depends on is different per person predicated on:

    1. What categories of games you play
    2. Any specific problematic game that is a dealbreaker for you

    For me, I tend to play some older games, and there are a few that don't work well. I don't want to boot windows, so I just decide I can wait for it to get there for them.

    For some people, "ready" means will run every windows program as if running on windows. We're still a ways off from that, if we ever get there (it's a moving target, as windows is still being developed...)
