So that you can ask stupid questions and not have repercussions hunt you til the days your account is deleted

That’s IF the would be even able to pull the kernel. I know how government grants work here. 70% chance that the money gets stolen and work is outsourced to some bloke who doesn’t know what git is.

When it fails I’m gonna laugh a lot.

I’m not gonna use this shit regardless. Even if it remains the only option for an OS in Russia, I’m gonna fucking smuggle a proper Linux distro in.

List of files/pages that a website owner doesn’t want bots to crawl. Or something like that.

Little addendum to the last part of About Fragmentation section, since I don’t want to leave it unfinished and make people struggle if they follow my advices:

$HOME/.local/opt is a “usual” (there are few more, I prefer this one) location for pre-built (downloaded) and built-locally apps that you don’t want to install system-wide.

For example:

1. I downloaded neovim binaries because I didn’t have time to build em (lazy ass), but at least I did it from their git repository.
2. I untarred the archive using tar xvf nvim<press TAB>, or right clicked on the archive in a GUI file manager and clicked decompress.
3. moved nvim-linux-x64 directory into .local/opt, and renamed it to nvim (usually done in one command, if using terminal - mv nvim-linux-x64 $HOME/.local/opt/nvim)
4. Changed dir into .local/opt/nvim and found the executable, in our case something like ./bin/nvim.
5. I link that executable into a directory for binary files that lies on the PATH (system checks PATH it to find shit), like this - ln -s /home/<my nickname>/.local/opt/nvim/bin/nvim /home/<my nickname>/.local/bin/nvim this command requires absolute paths and creates a SYMBOLIC link (you can read up on that if you’re interested). GUI file managers usually have functionality for creating symlinks, right click on file to find out.
6. Some distros include .local/bin to path by default, while others don’t. Simple way to do so is open your .bashrc or .zshrc that’s located in $HOME in a text editor, and somewhere close to the end of file write export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
7. I close and reopen my terminal. Nvim is now installed, by hand.

Something like that. It’s all done just for organization and quality of life.

1. Kate, Neovim, Emacs, +lots and lots more, pick your poison.

2. QEMU/KMV can host windows guests pretty flawlessly, pain to setup though. I use it to work in visual studio for college stuff. USB passthrough should work. No idea about thunderbolt though.

3. Native games work as expected, not native games only work through a translator either raw Wine or Proton (is better suited for games). They have frontends, such as Steam, Lutris, and other. Not all games work through translators. Consult protondb for games you want to play.

4. Natively? No idea, didn’t play a single native game. Through Steam - flawlessly.

5. Playing video through mpv has GUI. It has GUI. For videos. You might want to consider VLC, if audio GUI is a requirement. Or any other GUI audio player.

6. Any DAW/video editor. I’ll bet my life on that 90% of them use ffmpeg. Tools like flacon most likely use ffmpeg. It’s everywhere.

7. rename command. Probably dolphin and nautilus have mass renamers with a GUI, but I only used rename and it gets the job done.

8. Depends on your desktop environment, kde probably has support for anything shortcut related.

9. On Linux we usually don’t install random shit we download through browser. That’s what package managers are for, every base distro has its own package manager with its own structure. And if package managers are lacking then we get source code and build it. In very rare cases like Reaper DAW probably only then we download binaries.

More about fragmentation: Linux uses ELF executables. Amd64 elves will work on every amd64 Linux machine (that has required libs). Some distros package apps into intermediary archives that are prebuilt into a more structure friendly to that distro way. If you install one distros prebuilt archive on another one, it might install files into different dirs and you will not know how to get out of that situation. All Linux software is available under every distro, if you include building from source as an option. If you really must download shit off of web and install it but it doesn’t display your exact distro follow these instructions: 1. child distro usually can install base distro’s intermediary archives and be ok about it, example: ubuntu is child to debian, popos is child to ubuntu. 2. Extract archive and locate the binaries, that’s it. Then put it somewhere in $HOME/.local/opt and ln -s fullpathtoappbin fullpathtolocalbinarydir or just run from $HOME/Downloads.

10. I stopped reading around here, that’s way too much fucking text for me alone.

Good to hear that folks have succeeded in moving 🙏🙏

I don’t have any money sadly, and it’s very hard to find a job for some reason (personally, my friends don’t seem to have this problem). There was only one person that hired me in 6 years, and only paid 20k rubles a month for back breaking labor. I would pretty much like to move, but that’s probably gonna stay a pipe dream.

Yea, censorship getting worse day by day. Not sure about the cop situation, but I think it is probable, since I got cops called on me once for calling one annoying woman a few hearty names.

Like for the past 23 years. In my life literally nothing is changing. (For the exception of this fucking censorship)

Huh? Mod creator removed their own mod? I heard that Nexus Mods removed their mod.

Content. Without it there wouldn’t be an abundance of free learning material. I’m already feeling the pain of trying to find any decent lesson about my interests after Russian government blocked YouTube.

Being of certain race or nationality

Same error for me

Add a rolling (dodging) mechanic, even if it’s not a fighting game.

No American. Why not? Everyone is discussing everything. Such is life. Discuss whatever you want.

Interesting, I have a complete reverse of this story with windows. It kept breaking randomly until I had enough of it’s shit.

Real, working inside is harder than outside when it’s that hot

I used to work at a sawmill in 45°C in shadow, peak hours.

I thought that was hell. Especially in the evening. When trying to fall asleep, my face would burn as if I had a massive fever.

However honestly, when rains came and temperatures dropped I quickly realized that THAT FUCKING HEAT was paradise and easy to work in.

Mostly because I sweat a lot and working gets very cold even with several layers of clothing if it’s not hot outside.
