I guess he’s interpreting it as “oneth”, in which are “You” would be the first element.

I like that, so I’ll believe it.

I’m assuming she’d know the year…?

The Voyager post says “0 comments”, but there’s a comment clearly visible at the bottom(of the voyager screenshot).

I have an exercise joke, but it doesn’t really work out.

NixOS isn’t a tank, it’s a tank building machine!

I don’t tend to recommend Ubuntu anymore: mainly because of snaps.

I had a weird start with Linux, using it on my Pi and then eventually just installing NixOS as my first distro. A weird first choice, but honestly it makes even advanced tasks trivial(I can switch my WM/DE in one line!)

I think OP(original commenter?) mentioned they tried Nobara, but it wouldn’t even boot.

My consistent recommendation to Linux newcomers is PopOS, it’s a simple, great distros that can be powerful when needed.

(I myself use Nix btw)

Recursive Mono. It’s freaking cool. I like ligatures so it’s got them, it’s nice on the eyes, and it’s playful without being too playful.

Bonus points if you use Semicasual.

IIRC, should be Cascadia Code.

Also, I’m the opposite. I love ligatures, I feel they make my code cleaner and remove extra noise.

Second this. System76 themselves sell multiple machines with Nvidia cards, so they have at least some incentive to make it work.

I see Fedora recommended quite a bit, but setting it up on my younger family member’s laptop was bot exactly simple, and setting up his game library proved near impossible.

PopOS just worked. I try not to be too pushy about Linux, but as someone who was pushed into (and now loves) using Linux, I’d suggest giving it one more shot. (I still dual-boot: keep a small Windows partition for the occasional need).

Truly! One day I decided to take the plunge and learn functional programming with Haskell—I haven’t been the same since.

Functional languages aren’t for everyone.

I dabbled in Haskell, and my time with it was very enjoyable. I grew comfortable with the syntax over time, so I’d say try the language for a few days/weeks (really depends how fast you learn) and see how it makes you feel.

I definitely suggest trying out Haskell. I followed the Wikibooks guide, and ever since using Haskell, I haven’t been coding the same. Functional programming can be amazing.

I’ve never heard of Unision. A quick look at it and it seems interesting, but very foreign. I’ll try it out and give it my thoughts.

Gators could design better roads. Don’t insult the gators.

I blocked most news communities. Stuff slips through, but I don’t really have the mental capacity to care about it.

Seems to be the same person too!

Strikethrough, you can get them like ~~this~~

Same here!

Books exist, but I don’t think most people are spending their time reading up for post-apocalyptic survival tips.
