I didn't know there was an app! I use the website constantly.

I have a spare nvme SSD and recently took a weekend to play with various Linux desktop distributions. EndeavorOS and Pop! OS were my favorite. But I have an RTX 3080 and can't afford to replace it with an AMD GPU. It didn't work well enough with my games. I'm really attached to HDR which seems to be coming but is not generally available for most games yet. I feel like the writing is on the wall and Windows will not be a suitable option for me in the near future, but right now I have the least issues with Windows 11.

I use Linux all the time for hosting various services at work, but never with a GUI.

Palworld is better with friends because I have good friends but the game doesn't get twice as hard and frustrating when you're alone. I enjoy games that encourage coordination and teamwork , but I think that kind of gameplay would be out of place in such a whimsical world.

Pokemon with guns and some automation where your pals help you around the base. If they clean up and improve and expand the automation I think it will go far. It's addicting and fun.

C and Rust are low level languages, suitable for interacting directly with the hardware. C++ might be described as C with some object oriented stuff bolted on, making it excellent for videogame development. C# is a lot more like Java. It's great for line of business apps because it handles the complexity of memory management for you and provides an excellent framework and excellent libraries for a lot of common tasks. But it's not suitable for low level work.

The main improvement Rust provides is memory safety. It's very easy to make mistakes in C where you could overrun a buffer or something, introducing unexpected crashing and making it vulnerable to exploitation by malware or whatever. Rust eliminates a whole category of issues with their clever memory management paradigm. The improvements in this schedule probably have more to do with the strategy used than code efficiency.

I was honestly excited about the new Settings when Windows 10 arrived. I was a Windows sysadmin for more than a decade and am intimately familiar with control panel and think it sucks. I hoped Settings would modernize and streamline. But here we are, so many years later, and many common tasks still lead us to control panel. Such disappointment.

This was my experience as well. It worked great if your hands were out in front of you but if you needed to move your arms around (beat saber, any archery game, etc) it just didn't work.

I feel personally attacked.

I started on kbin. The content I was enjoying was all from lemmy.world so when I ditched kbin I just came over here.

Nice! That approach would be terrible for me but I'm stoked you're finding things that work for you. What kind of video are you editing that contains so much footage? If you don't mind me asking.
