I wouldn’t mind having a linux tablet. But not at $700

Sure, it’s not perfect, but there is still probably use cases there. For me personally, I prefer using roll20 to store my character sheets for D&D, and my peace of shit 15 year old laptop just isn’t cutting it anymore. I don’t think this is a $150 use case, but if the price of this tablet were to come down I’d have second thoughts.

Another option if you have a laptop and desktop is to test the waters slowly with the laptop, and keep your desktop as is. It’s what I did for a long while to get used to things on Linux.

If there is a critical problem with my Linux instalation on my laptop, it’s OK because all the real stuff I care about is still on the desktop. So I’m free to wipe the laptop at a moments notice. It’s the easiest way to learn in my experience.

In my experience, experience with one distro is experience with them all. 90% of what you are familiar with will be either similar or completely the same. So definitely give LMDE a shot.

I’d personally recommend Linux Mint Debian Edition. After distro hopping for a bit, it has personally been the best one for working right out of the box, both for my games and for my peripherals.

I like the UI, it’s about at my tech level/needs. I have little to no complaints about it, which is as good as it gets.

Don’t worry, I’ve been playing plenty of Linux factorio for the last few weeks to make up for it.

If somebody gets access to your system, they could use that to blackmail you, and/or frame you for distributing said media.

“Give us $X, or we leak and distribute Y media on your behalf, and you will get sued by the corporate goons for shit loads of money”

The only real solution is to completely overhaul IP law, and/or nationalizing funding for the arts. If we’re gonna keep corps that own/produce media, then they should have a very short and limited amount of time to distribute it before it becomes common property of the people.

It’s excruciatingly easy to side load on android, to the point where it is outright dangerous for laymen.

All it will take is a 30s tiktok showing how to side load and they’re done, tech literate or not

It has some rough edges to be sure. I’ve found myself fighting with it quite a bit. But it’s usable.

I’m just glad there is more incentive for [organization] to help patch the issues.

I wasn’t strictly talking about cross platform. I was talking about performance, which is tangential to the cross platform thing.

If you’re planning on making a game cross platform, you should choose a language that performs well for gaming on all platforms. Java ain’t that. Which answers your question:

In what world is c++ better for cross platform than Java?

C++ is better for this application.

Bedrock routinely outperforms java.

Just because you’re perfectly fine doesn’t mean all other machines are.

Minecraft Java runs like dog shit. Making a faster port of it was worth it. They just botched it because Microsoft got its hands on it.

C++ is generally more performant than Java.

Which ep/movie are you referring to?

If this exploit was more performant, I wonder how much longer it would have taken to get noticed.

LMDE

That works too. There are so many ways to get around this.

It’s almost like there is something really wrong with the global climate or something.
