Yea, when I switched to Linux, at first I installed PowerShell to get something familiar, but quickly realized that contrary to Windows, terminal on Linux is actually usable on it's own out of the box.

Looks like a perfectly normal "Enter" key on an ANSI keyboard. Why the confusion?

No. With Unix-style tools, bare terminal is always more powerful than any GUI. It's just that a lot of people don't want to invest their time into reading manuals and actually understanding how it all works.

uninstalls the kernel package

I would not recommend someone who does not know what they are doing replacing the DE, the process heavily varies depending on your current setup. If you want Ubuntu with KDE, just use Kubuntu.

SteamVR runs terribly on Linux, Monado/WiVRn is pretty playable.

I prefer to drag my friends toward games without integrated rootkits. Better for them, better for me. Thankfully, there are plenty of games to choose from today.

If something does not work, mostly it either has a kernel level anticheat or it's Adobe. I just learned to live without these, I think it's for the best. You can even do VR on Linux nowadays!

I'd say your best chance is just launching an Android version with a controller (I assume Android version supports controllers). It's just that nobody on PC plays Bedrock. All the community content (mods, resource packs, custom tools) is for the original version, after all, and Bedrock is a walled garden.

If you confused period and fax intentionally, I commend the effort.

Considering vibe is probalby float, I doubt any exceptions can be thrown there, you can eliminate another useless scope.

Even if it's not float, I'd consider burning alive anyone who overrides an operator like this anyway.

Original, because sharing xkcd without alt text is a crime: https://xkcd.com/2501

I only remember useful things. And I consider these useful because I did some low level graphics programmed once and had to use them in practice. Once you understand why these things exist, it becomes that much easier.

If someone didn't learn enough trigonometry in school:

1+tan²c = cos²c/cos²c + sin²c/cos²c = (cos²c + sin²c)/cos²c = 1/cos²c;

sqrt(1/cos²c) = |sec c|

Well, on the side of easy ones there is "if the last digit is divisible by 2, whole number is divisible by 2". Also works for 5. And if you take last 2 digits, it works for 4. And the legendary "if it ends with 0, it's divisible by 10".

The divisability rule for 7 is that the difference of doubled last digit of a number and the remaining part of that number is divisible by 7.

E.g. 299'999 → 29'999 - 18 = 29'981 → 2'998 - 2 = 2'996 → 299 - 12 = 287 → 28 - 14 = 14 → 14 mod 7 = 0.

It's a very nasty divisibility rule. The one for 13 works in the same way, but instead of multiplying by 2, you multiply by 4. There are actually a couple of well-known rules for that, but these are the easiest to remember IMO.

How would one go about using that sink?

Yea, knowing another Slavic language definitely makes it easier, with Polish, at least you don't have to learn how to pronounce Ы from scratch. But one being west language and the other being east can also screw you over, because many things are similar, but not quite.

Be careful not to speak only with Ukranians, they, of course, have their quirks in speaking, like using soft Г which is prevalent in Ukranian, but never used in Russian and using за instead of про in some places, for "to speak about Russian language" they would say "говорить за русский язык" instead of "говорить про русский язык". Of course, unless you are ok with picking up these quirks.

Props for trying your hand at Russian. Being a native speaker, only about a year ago did I realize how ridiculously complex the language is. From phonetics, to high context dependence, to word building and conjugation, I commend people who are tackling this abomination.

May I introduce you to our Savior Helix?

I'm not exactly sure how it works with flatpak versions, but for native Steam+Lutris, you install it with this and Lutris picks it up automatically, as far as I remember. Probably need to allow the flatpack to see the installation directory or put it in Lutris runners altogether instead of Steam directory.

Helix is very similar to Emacs and vim/nvim, but a lot easier to set up. Tried all of them but with Helix it just clicked for me.
