same - although I’ve never used a VM to run photoshop or other tools for making stuff, just games. Having to use software from inside a VM in a creative workflow seems like a pain, but maybe there are possibilities I haven’t thought of for file syncing and such.
not an answer to your question, but I personally never felt dual-booting or VM’s were a good way to get into Linux. If your experience is the same, you might enjoy just getting a different computer for Linux. E.g. you could get a raspberry pi to use as a Syncthing-server, or an old laptop if you have a stationary computer-
As for the aesthetic - if you’re new to Linux, you should not prioritize aesthetics when picking a distro. Find something reasonably stable and well supported, like Mint or Kubuntu, and play around with themes and such in stead.
Not very. X11 is still widely used and works fine. Wayland is the future, but you’ll probably be fine either way.
I copied this table from here: https://www.linuxteck.com/x11-vs-wayland/
| Feature | X11 | Wayland |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Multi-program chain (X Server + WM + Compositor) | Single unified Compositor handles everything |
| Render Method | RAM multi-copy — pixels duplicated per frame | Zero-copy GPU — same buffer start to finish |
| Security Model | Open trust — any app sees all input and screen | Isolated by design — apps see only their own window |
| Screen Tearing | Common — vsync not guaranteed by protocol | Eliminated — compositor controls frame delivery |
| HiDPI / Fractional Scaling | Inconsistent — requires per-app configuration | Per-display — clean scaling built into protocol |
| Multi-Monitor HDR | Limited — retrofitted support only | Full support — designed from the ground up |
| SSH Remote Display | Native — X forwarding works out of the box | Needs external tools (e.g. Xwayland, RDP) |
| GUI Automation Tools | Rich ecosystem — xdotool, wmctrl, AutoKey | Limited — protocol restricts cross-app access |
| Legacy App Support | Full native support | XWayland compatibility bridge |
| NVIDIA Driver Support | Stable — long-established | Good — driver series 495 and above |
| Battery Efficiency | Higher overhead — extra RAM copies per frame | Lower overhead — GPU buffer reuse |
| Development Status | Maintenance-only since 2024 | Actively developed — expanding scope |
must be tuesday
Asian countries import the most oil through the strait of Hormuz (https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=65504), makes sense that they’d get hit hardest first.
woah, yeah, that’s… unusual, I would expect that arrow to look more like a sideways chevron – but there it was, and apparently I can also put themes in ~/.config/GIMP/3.2/themes
Yeah, no, this is what I’ve got under Folders:
It’s a three year bachelor’s degree to become a kindergarten teacher in Norway. You can work in kindergarten without that education, but then you’ll be more of an assistant and your salary will be even lower.
You’d also have to learn Norwegian, of course, unless you can get a job at one of the very few english-language international kindergartens.
click the color preview, and you get a slightly bigger circle and you can also enter HSV and RGB values manually
it does look a little better, but I still think it’s messy
well, the first thing is that you might want to update the instructions for finding the themes folder. In Gimp I had to look under preferences-interface-theme to find the folder – and even then it was a bit of a journey, since I installed it with flatpak, so the folder ended up being in /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gimp.GIMP/x86_64/stable/5c600asdghjsd0cfe6e9e5bcf71a2e8a1a7e0ca018f43aabfa38dc12bd0954034f06/files/share/gimp/3.0/themes/
…while the Gimp settings just say app/share/gimp/3.0/themes/
Nice, I’ll check it out
dude, at least screenshot the same palette
no, I’d say Blender looks a lot better. I tried to find a roughly equivalent palette for comparison:
hehe, I wish, but no, the starting salary is more like $55 000, increasing to about $65 000 as you get more experience.
at minimum it would be nice if they just looked at the spacing and organization of the different palettes. This does not look tidy… or professional, really. It looks cramped and messy.
Not my experience, at least not here in Norway – in fact, there’s been a pretty big backlash against the digitalization of childhood in schools and kindergartens, so I’d be very surprised if there’s any increasing pressure on us to use computers at all with the children. A colleague of mine put on some movies a handful of times in December, and even that caused some concerned messages from parents.
Being a kindergarten teacher is not really something that AI can help with.
They did use Mint in a previous video, and in the comment field on Youtube there’s rumors he’ll be trying Kubuntu since Pop was so buggy.
that’s too fast, you can barely go to the bathroom, let alone eat your lunch
