  • I am thinking of going Debian as well since I like Ubuntu on my work laptop.

    I would like to use the same OS for both PC since I am not a power user yet, but I am tempted by endeavourOS to dip my toes into arch linux.

    I don’t want to have too big of a productivity loss at work (don’t care at home), so I am thinking to switch to Debian for work, and EndeavourOS on my personal PC to gain experience with it. If I like endeavourOS a lot, then I can switch my work laptop to it as well.

    Isn’t it how most Linux users progress?



  • I use Ubuntu for work and it serves its purpose really well.

    It was the first time I really ditched windows and learnt how to use Linux.I have Kubuntu on my personal PC and it feels klunky to me.

    So I am not sure why is that, since it uses the same base.

    My only issue right now is that I need to split the apps I use between dpkg, apt or snaps and it sucks when I need to uninstall something.

    So once my project is done at work, I will try another distro.


  • I’m not a game dev, so I am asking naively this: why is networking code for games not standardized?

    It’s crazy to me that so many companies develop their own netcode instead of pooling resources to create a library once and for all for netcode.

    It is a non-trivial thing to develop, so everyone would gain from having a framework and library ready to use that works well and can be implemented into any game.

    In the end, the information exchange is done between the client and the server and the application layer can have any packets it needs.
