Hobbyist programmer. When I switched to Linux, I started using the Atom editor for typing out my JavaScript projects (mostly Electron apps). Now I use Pulsar, because Atom development was cancelled.

I also find nvm to be helpful for installing and using Node in the terminal.

Windows XP was the last Windows that I wanted to use. When it became totally obsolete, I upgraded to Linux Mint. I will never go back to Windows. I did not even start off using Windows. MS-DOS was my first operating system.

I'm a middle-aged truck driver. I've been using Linux Mint (Cinnamon) now for about seven years as my only operating system (without dual booting) since Windows XP Pro became totally obsolete. Granted, I'm a hobbyist programmer and lifelong computer enthusiast. However, there are definitely some easy to install and use distros out there these days.

Thanks for sharing, that sounds interesting. I haven't tried VR yet, but I'll keep that in mind if I do.

I've been using Linux Mint (Cinnamon) as my only operating system since 2016. No dual booting.

Not sure about the requirements, but I had The Dark Mod running fine on an old machine with an ancient Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gigabytes of DDR2 ram, and a GeForce 730 card. So the requirements are pretty light. I would suggest just trying it out and seeing how it runs.

0 A.D., Beyond All Reason, SuperTuxKart, and The Dark Mod are the four FOSS gaming projects that I find to be most impressive.

Linux Mint Cinnamon. I've been using it for about seven years now. It offers a very good, traditional desktop experience.

My biggest free/open source project is FreeMazes3D, a puzzle solving game involving procedurally generated mazes. I developed it using various JavaScript technologies (especially Babylon.js and Electron). I feel that most of the core content has already been created, but I do plan to do a few minor update releases down the road...

This is another good reason to stop using reddit. The internet used to have millions of active message boards for discussion of numerous topics. Reddit has essentially become one giant message board to rule them all. The world does not need this. Best to help decentralize the internet by promoting alternatives.

Agreed. Linux Mint Cinnamon is also my favorite. I've been using it ever since I stopped using Windows and switched to Linux from Windows XP.
