In French the word "Didascalie" is used for stage directions, often scribbled in the edges of a play, oftentimes by the author. "Les" indicates a plural, so my name would read "Les didascalies", or "the author's notes".
It pronounces basically the same as Lady Dascalie, hence where the name came from.
That was really good, thanks for introducing me to these
Go does this too, and I believe a couple other modern languages do too. Seems like the need for it is real and has been recognised by language authors
additionally, if relevant, i'm running wayland and not x11
lutris-GE-Proton8-7.
However I am using an AMD card, so I can't compare those settings to yours
I have it installed through Lutris in the same way you have, running on Arch instead but that should make no difference really. I don't have those problems at the moment.
Perhaps your setting within Lutris are not right? Which version of proton are you running?
Full time Linux user for about 6 years now. Both at work and at home.
If games is what's holding you back, don't worry about it so much. There are very few games that don't run on Linux these days, like you said, because of anticheat, or just because the underlying company is horrible. Valorant comes to mind for games, Epic and EA for companies.
Some example of game i've been playing on Linux, with no issues: Cyberpunk, Elden Ring, Everspace 2, Dying Light, Sekiro, Warhammer 40k: Darktide, Guild Wars 2, Doom Eternal, Elite Dangerous, Valheim, Minecraft etc...
There's more things working than not working these days.
That said, I would also be lying if I said there isn't going to be a learning curve. It's a little bit more work (especially for games not available on Steam), but it's really not that bad, and the community is very helpful.
Here's the thing:
Fatigue is normal, but will get worse over time if you don't address it.
First, recognize that you might be putting too much on yourself. If you studied / programmed 10 minutes a day, every day, you would achieve more than someone who studied 2 hard hours every weekend. So consider whether you'd be fine doing a half an hour or less on some days if you don't have the energy.
Also as others have pointed out, memorizing everything isn't that useful, practicing is. Build something fun!
Mostly use Memmy at this point. I think it’s the most promising, at least for what I want
A very simple, almost stock setup of Arch + KDE.
I work in the games industry. So it would be pretty surprising if there were a "social cutoff" in my circle.
I've met people who think playing games is weird for an adult, but then they don't question watching TV or YouTube videos for hours. People who judge you based on where you find your entertainment tend not to be fun to be around.
Not the Death Star, this is from empire, this would be the inside of cloud city
