and they have decades of closed drivers written for it.

they are speedrunning enshitification 🐧

that’s not about just me. defaults matter a lot.

let’s see what they implement though, their translation engine is nice so far, tbf.

which means it’s working, at least.

capitalism and the ultra wealthy are in control. and you could barely call these “human”

the actual thinnest is only having a choice between “yes” and “later”

pantheon is one of the best DEs out there.

having to reformat for every upgrade is a pain though.

fighting the entire global politico-economic system is probably harder than a few techbros. so pessimism i guess…?

and doesn’t have the risk of burn in!

it’s been a while, but ill try to contextualize some of the great suggestions here. i use cura to slice, then octoprint through usb to actually control and interface with the printer. there are many good slicers, octoprint is the standard for most printers unless you have something odd or too proprietary.

blender has a CAD mode or some plugin that makes it much easier to use for certain 3d printing applications, a bunch like autodesk, just not quite as refined. that’s what i sometimes use when i need it. openscad and a couple other foss options that run on linux work but aren’t very intuitive or easy to use, trust me.

as a last resort running other established windows software could work on wine with a bit of banging around, but may or may not be that simple to setup. those tend to be much heavier than foss apps though, so if your computer is already struggling you will have a worse time.

my suggestion is to first and foremost confirm if 3d acceleration and stuff is enabled and working in blender and nothing overheats or anything, it shouldn’t be that hard to run on a regular laptop made in the last decade for simple beginner stuff. it’s worth trying to get it to work just because it’s the best option on linux imho, and not that hard once you grasp the basics.

and yeah software discoverability is not that great on linux, but we got you.

so funny that the industry is getting bullied by a proprietary font. they deserve this shit at this point out of the sheer stupidity of locking themselves into a proprietary font company.

ad hominem is always the best argument you crybabies have.

proxmox can be used on a desktop. if you don’t like qubes, virt-manager or virtualbox on a regular distro could be up your alley too.

that is i understood correctly and you want to actually sit at it, just that it is running many guest oses instead of just your desktop?

ctrl+r on bash will let you quickly search and execute previous commands by typing the first few characters usually.

it’s much more of a game changer than it first meets the eye.

told this story before but windows 10 force rebooted overnight after spending hours fucking with it so it doesn’t, while still being able to update manually.

lost me quite a bunch of work that was rendering in the background and the important deadline. lost the will to further put up with microsoft.

shoutout to diolinux! dude is doing a lot of heavy lifting to help out new linux users over in brazil. and photogimp is quite useful everywhere.

a bit is an understatement. reminds me of windows 7 era ux design. iirc their wayland support isn’t that great either.

not that it doesn’t work, but there are alternatives that much better represents what linux can be right now.
