We used Matlab in 3rd year of high school. Teachers sent us link to download pirated version. I installed GNU Octave.

I mean basic programming in general, as basic as it gets. It’s not guaranteed that every student has programming experience.

Best WM (Wayland) shoud be Hyprland, it’s exact length and fits with 18 and 32.

Why is Linux Nihilism?

Recently switched to NixOS.

My current install is around 1 year old.

Problems I had were because of software not being on the latest version, not updates. Things just work on Arch for me. Only thing that ever broke was Xorg because of Nvidia drivers but that’s pretty easy fix.

Arch based distros are pretty stable in my experience. I actually had much more problems on distros like Debian and PopOs than Arch.

I use EndeavourOS (which is almost the same as Arch) for gaming and it works great.

You can do .net on Linux but Windows is much better for that. I recommend using Windows for work and Linux for everything else.

I recommend going with Virt-manager, it works much better than VirtualBox in my experience.

Only saw it once in hospital when I went to do first aid exam for driver licence.

Xmonad

My first distro was Ubuntu because it is a beginner distro and it looked interesting.

I use Heroic games launcher for Epic and it supports GOG too.

It works, thanks.

Around 1 and a half years.

I had same problem on Arch based distros, it’s Nvidia problem. Try booting with LTS kernel.

And that’s the point of configuring.

1. I never used Wayland but Xorg works really well.

2. Don’t copy terminal commands from internet if you don’t know what they do. Also, try new things just to try them. That’s how I started using many things that now make the core of my computer experience. Even if something looks scary I recommend giving it a go because in most cases it is much easier than it looks (at least when you have some experience with Linux).

3. YouTube can be a good resource at the start.

4. Switching to Linux was very smooth experience for me because I wanted to inform myself about Linux before switching just to know what I’m getting into. If you go prepared you probably won’t experience many problems.
