Übercomplicated

Yep, this is exactly what I read… still a cool project though. Anything that at least tries to make neurodivergent people more accepted gets my approval.

I don’t know about the comic font, but OpenDyslexic is a great typeface for dyslexics (as the name would suggest). It mostly has to do with the weight of the letters being towards the bottom as I understand it. I personally (dyslexic here) have gotten so used to Computer Modern Serif and JetBrainsMono that they’re easier for me to read, but that comes from hours of monkeytype with JetBrainsMono and hours of reading books and PDFs with Computer Modern. I think OpenDyslexic, while cool, is probably only truly helpful for people not already used to a different typeface.

I actually really love icewm. I’m still gonna install i3 on every system (for a default experience, when I configure I usually switch over to something else), but I’ll always keep icewm as a backup. Also the default wm on openSUSE which makes me happy

Niri is still in alpha though, right? Last time I tried it, it was buggy as all hell… Cool concept though.

River is sooooo good when it doesn’t break (it’s stable, you just need to get it working in the beginning). The guile config is beautiful, always reminds me of xmonad.

Wayland: SwayWM, River (the most customizable wm I’ve ever used).

X11: DWM (configured via C, a little bit of effort if you’re not a minimalist), xmonad (via Haskell, on par with River).

My recommendation for getting started is Sway, but the others are definitely more customizable, as they use PLs for configuration. BSPWM and i3 are also good for X11, and a good middle ground between DWM’s nerdery and xmonad’s Haskell barrier. Wayland offers a much better experience if you’re not using Nvidia though. Some will recommend hyprland, but I really don’t like (IMHO). There are also some controversies around it’s leadership…

Yep, same for me both with vim and keyboard layouts. When I first started using Colemak and dreymar’s extend (https://dreymar.colemak.org/layers-extend.html — highly recommend) it took me months of typing 40wpm. Now I type 150wpm with no pain whatsoever. Very, very happy.

I’d love to say yes, but I really don’t think it’s worth the time in that scenario. Learn keyboard layering instead; much less time consuming and probably better for normal E-Mail writing et al. Check out dreymar’s extend, which is extremely useful and can be used on any platform with any keyboard layout: https://dreymar.colemak.org/layers-extend.html

Duuuude I was trying to replace my 3060 ti as well, but all 9070s in my region sold out in 2 minutes (I’m not kidding). Now it’s still 80€ more expensive than launch (which is another 80€ more expensive than the US launch; wtf). I am at wits end…

Damn, everyone using iwd (my favorite), wicked, or connman — those are the only wpa_supplicant alternatives I can think of — is out of luck. God I love iwd, it’s so fast…

Lol same. Eventually (maybe the fifth exam or so) they just stopped caring about me though, and let me use my own laptop with openSUSE. Zero security, I was even hooked up to their WIFI and could easily have cheated… I didn’t though; the only exams where it would have been tempting were hand-written anyway.

It sucks that education institutions care so little for people not using giant corpo microshit though.

That’s an ethical question, and as such rather difficult to answer. I prefer open source codecs, but you have a headphone designed with LDAC in mind. I don’t think you should feel bad about trying to get your money’s worth and using LDAC if it suits your needs.

Thx for the correction, I was writing from memory.

LDAC is proprietary, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t available on Linux. You can probably use SBC-XQ, though, which is open source and lossless. Try installing pavucontrol and check what codecs it offers you for the headphones.

Edit: SBC-XQ, not QX.

I have the same workflow. Usually, I never have more than maybe three tabs open, but when I’m debugging something… oh god. Easily 15 or 20.

I also bookmark extensively, and actually have my address bar set up to only give me suggestions from my bookmarks. Additionally, I use a tiling window manager, which makes managing windows and tabs very easy. I really don’t have a use for tab groups, but, who knows, maybe I’ll learn to use them someday.

You and me both with League; the day they forced Kernel level Anti-Cheat was the day I killed my dualboot setup. I can’t get into Dota, so it’s the end of an era for me, but I’ll survive it. LoL was getting worse and worse anyway… quietly sobs

It was made a little bit easier for me since I was maining Linux on all my other machines already anyway, but I feel your pain. I never ranked either, but usually played with international friends (horrible, horrible ping). I still keep up with them, but for the most part, they were the kind of friendships that were relying heavily on LoL. Honestly though, I’ve been happier since I quit. Now my gaming PC is 100% Linux, and I don’t feel guilty everytime I sit down for a game.

Damn, that just goes to show how indoctrinated I am. Didn’t even occur to me that there’s two mainstream OSs outside of Linux out there.

Third option? Solus? Minix? What is the third option!!???! Why don’t I know about the mysterious third option?!!!?

In regard to question one: it depends. Pretty much everything without a shitty, Kernel-Level Anti-Cheat (my autocorrect corrected to antichrist — for good reason!) will run either by default on steam or with something known as Proton. But you still may run into occasional difficulties.

For example, if you play Counter Strike 2: up until January this year, playing on Linux meant ≈20% less performance (CS2 is unoptimized for Linux and Vulkan unfortunately); this number has changed since the last few updates and since the new Nvidia driver, so I need to re-run the benchmarks. Your going to occasionally experience things like that, where performance isn’t on par. In the case of CS2, the devs love Linux, so they will optimize for it in the future. It’s just going to take a while.

Another example: I had to use Proton on a game that supposedly was native to Linux. Native implementations may sometimes suck; the good news though, is that you can easily use Proton, both inside and outside of steam. Seriously, I freaking love Valve for Proton, it’s a fantastic tool.

This is all to say, that while gaming is absolutely possible nowadays, you will occasionally need add some flag, or familiarize yourself with proton, etc.

The exception, of course, being Kernel antichrists. Goddamn them. I can’t play LoL anymore because of it. Well, I hate Riot so much now anyway, I’m not sure I’d want to anymore.
