Yeah probably the biggest strength of gnome. Often feels better suited for tablets than windows is.

Kdenlive has a visualizer effect you can use https://docs.kdenlive.org/en/effects_and_filters/video_effects/on_master/audio_spectrum_filter.html

It’s not crazy but it works well enough for something simple.

You probably already know but just in case, xournal++ is a good alternative I’ve been using. Not quite as feature rich but does all the basics. Linux on a windows tablet is a surprisingly usable experience, if a little janky.

No flatpak? Who uses flatpak in the terminal?

Also pretty much every distro has some sort of GUI update manager.

I had issues with debian-based distros as well, that’s why I switched to fedora. I also think the go 3 has better support in general. The cameras are still annoying but things have gotten better, with Firefox getting libcamera support.

I agree but also I saw the words “vote” and “nix” and nearly had an aneurism.

I personally got a surface go 3. Put fedora on it and the surface kernel and it works pretty good - GNOME’s interface honestly works better for touchscreens then windows. Just be aware that some config might be needed - I had an issue with the keyboard that required making a udev rule (I documented it on the surface kernel github issues page).

If the entire list isn’t outer wilds its bs.

Man I wish. Those puzzles are ingrained in my skull forever.

Wanted to update that I’m almost through the first book, mixed feelings at certain parts, but I’m enjoying the end on Schar’s world. Felt like the beginning had a lot of unnecessary sidetracks and random deaths. But I do definitely love the ideas, especially all the culture technology, so I’ll probably check out the second book.

This isn’t even an issue though, its just to fix bugs with certain websites that block Firefox for no reason or have other weird compatibility issues. Which I would think is a good thing?

There are so many legitimate things to complain about with Mozilla, why do people go out of their way to complain about the most innocuous shit.

There’s experimental support, they’re hoping it’ll be feature complete by 2026.

The Mint upgrade tool got flatpak support so I don’t even use the terminal to update anymore.

You posted something that’s bad practice (for many reasons, including security). Like, nobody cared about your software habits until you posted them publically with no prompting. probably so you could act smug after getting downvoted.

Some build advice:

• Be safe - don’t wear socks, stand on a hard floor if possible, ground yourself if you have a wrist strap for that, and discharge any static by touching metal and/or the case before touching any components. And no matter what, DO NOT open the power supply, and definitely don’t touch anything in it!
• The huge motherboard connector probably requires more force than comfortable.
• Watch through at least one build guide before starting. That way you know the process.

Hope that helps, and don’t let it scare you away - it’s really fun to do and if you’re careful, chances are nothing major will go wrong.

Someone I know misheard “Tenth Avenue Freestyle” as “Tell the devil you freestyle” and honestly that’s a much more interesting song.

I’ve played lot of slower paced first person games with them. It also feels really nice in games with inventory screens and other mouse-focused ui. I never really tried to get used to them though, they just kind of clicked with me.

The steam controller was (and still is) fantastic. I once got a comfortable binding for the original System Shock, which already has a pretty untenable control scheme with a keyboard and mouse. Also its haptic feedback can play music.

Yeah that’s it, thanks
