The enshittification of Ubuntu and Firefox these last years have been tragic to watch, even though i no longer use any of them.

My Arabic is rusty but I’m pretty sure that username translates to “Allah” - so maybe it is God playing tricks?

It is being sacrificed to the dying screams of capitalism, to squeeze one final drop of profit from its corpse.

Thanks to the behaviour of the American Government the past year, it has become really easy. Everybody suddenly understand and respect the argument of boycotting american products and software.

Welcome to the club!

I was surprised to find my Valve Index work flawlessly after switching to Linux (Pop!_OS). Even had a better framerate in some games.

No matter what you end up using, make sure he installs RustDesk, so you can easily connect and fix the inevitable problems

This is the best solution. Look into Tailscale, it’s brilliant for your use-case.

Fuck yes. Like a tiny little laptop or Gameboy Advance. I would replace my smartphone immediately.

Very likely. The Valve Index runs it super well when connected to my Linux desktop. Although I had to downgrade the version of Beat Saber to make it work.

Like wreck the playability of your games? ;)

I really like motiongen.io for quick mechanical sketching

Going through all the Mass Effect games, and nearing the end of the second game. Legendary edition runs amazingly on the deck. If you haven’t played the trilogy yet, I can highly recommend it.

I am a die-hard Jellyfin user, but I still haven’t found a proper way to index and stream my music library with it. As far as i know, Plex is still better at that.

laughs in Pop!_OS

I run Pop!_OS and have had no problems playing through Tears of the Kingdom in an emulator. Don’t know about Clancy games though.

In my experience, the best pipeline is GDScript > Python > (HTML/CSS/JS) > Then branch out depending on needs/interest. My students are 10-15 year-olds, and throwing them directly into something like C# would not work.

Almost all students are extremely aversive to coding at first. Godot is brilliant in the way they can build most things visually at first, getting them invested in their games before programming with all its debugging and hair-ripping is introduced.

I also recently discovered the Block Coding Addon for Godot, which has been a game changer for my dyslexic students.

After the Unity debacle I switched to using Godot in my classroom, for teaching programming through Game Development. It’s been a huge success! It’s a much more user-friendly engine for beginners, and it’s so lightweight that even a bunch of shitty school laptops run it with no issues. Love Godot!

I was floored at how easy it was to get it to run Breath of the Wild, and then I discovered the 60fps patch for the game. Pretty quickly sold my old Switch after that.

Great! Like installing square wheels on my bike
