openSUSE Tumbleweed is a great rolling-release distro. The Yast tool is a powerful GUI System Admin/Settings app. Plus the openSUSE logos are green which is a good color lol.

Fedora is promoting their KDE Spin to a full Edition, alongside Fedora Workstation (GNOME). Nothing really is changed, the KDE Spin has always been good.

Not really needed on Android or in general. If all you want to know is whether your system is compromised, use Auditor by GOS.

Even if documentation can be time-consuming, it is such a lifesaver and makes the whole process of coding much smoother. It means not as much time wasted backtracking. If you think there is any part of your code you won’t understand when you coming back to it, document, document, document.

Sometimes I write some multiline psuedocode comments or/and an explaination of specific choices, especially those invisible choices you make while debugging that aren’t apparent when your just reading through your code.

Good thing to do is make code that is generally readable too lol.

Or are you? Try it, just a lil 😼

I don’t know any YouTubers other than “Let’s Game It Out”.

My fav game to speedrun is Neon Boost (free on Steam) because of several bugs I have found in the game. Otherwise a small boring indie platformer about rocket jumping is made fun (to me) through exploitation of its physics.

1. Diagonal movement is faster (hold two adjacent directional keys). Sliding makes you even faster.
2. Precise rocket jumps can receive more velocity than the developers intended, allowing you to skip many parts.
3. You can touch the end of stage goal post from underneath the platform.
4. You can wall jump off of the top of walls, allowing for many skips and time saves.
5. You can get massive upwards velocity by sliding into a small couple-pixel ridge and jumping precisely once you touch it. This is possible on the starting platforms of all World 1 levels. It basically only improves individual level speedrun records, except on one level where you can skip the whole level and complete it in 1 second (an 9x faster than intended.

My crowning achievement was completing the final level of World 1 (1-12) in 18 seconds. The Devs expected a fastest time around 40 sec.

Dying to a stupid bug is a great way to suddenly get frustrated though. Hard agree with you though, buggy games are my favorite. Especially small indie projects because I you can find the great bugs.

Not from f-droid, but Piper TTS models are great and performant. You can install the apk and the app requires no permissions. They also have other models other than Piper (eg Coqui). For English, I recommend recommend vits-piper-en_US-lessac-medium for the model.

Here is a link to the list of prebuilt APKs: https://k2-fsa.github.io/sherpa/onnx/tts/apk-engine.html

Basically, its a customization of Fedora Workstation with Steam, Proton GE, and some system tweaks for better gaming support.

Docker is good when combined with gVisor runtime for better isolation.

Sydbox OCI runtime is also cool and faster than gVisor (both are quick)

No VoIP, spaces, or threads support yet. Promising because it is written in rust and works well with Desktop portals.
