Lover of many things, including primarily the following: \- Linux \- Vim \- Most video games \- Hideo Kojima \- Nature \- Automation & efficiency \- TTRPG's

I am an LGBTQIA+ ally, but fall in the straight, white, male category. I'm a software engineer by day, working on large-scale projects for a cushy company. During the night, I play and develop video games, write and develop campaigns for TTRPGs.

What are some things you wish you had known when switching to Linux?

    This is such an underrated comment. Linux hates, hates, hates NVidia. I've spent ~24 hours trying to get two applications running, both of which consistently complain about my GPU and Hardware Acceleration.

  • @Ozzy @rtxn I just thought of this, could one, create symbolic links that point to /lib (for ex.) to "repoint" the directory a package gets installed to?

    Not sure if this would work, but was curious if someone's attempted it before.

    Thank you for the very clean and clear explanation. I'll have to give them another chance.

  • @Linuturk @PseudoSpock My problem here is that I don't understand the purpose of flatpak when Deb seems to have everything from my experience, but I'd love to be proven wrong.
