A KDE app that doesn’t start with K? Preposterous!

/s

So far, Linux has been great for me for most common apps, however there are a few niche apps that don’t run natively on Linux and are borked under wine.

paint.net is the main issue currently as the devs have stated they won’t make any other ports, and the latest versions have a “Garbage” rating on WineHQ. There is Pinta, which is based off an older version, but it’s not good enough for my use cases.

So, for the time being, I’m stuck with using a Win10 VM with a shared folder to use paint.net.

(And before anyone asks: No, GIMP will not work for me. It lacks the tools and plugins I use frequently with paint.net)

Linux distro derivatives of existing Linux distros, such as an “Arch-based” or “Debian-based” distro.

E.g. EndeavourOS is an Arch-based distro (derivative of ArchLinux). Ubuntu is a Debian-based distro, etc.

Looking forward to all my mods breaking. /s (probably real though)

I looked at the supposed additions on this version’s wiki page and there are some really nice QOL improvements made. I think the main feature I’m looking forward to is:

Material Files for me. It feels like KDE’s Dolphin if it had an android port.

I would say it was alright. I may not have had many friends, but that extra time I had allowed me to get into programming with JavaScript and Python.

How can a programmer explain how a sausage is made? They’re not chefs!

/j

Probably would have, but a few scripts of mine broke after distro hopping, so I had to fix those.

Then I found out about Pomodoro timers, so I wanted to test them out. So, I fixed up some scripts with it.

I haven’t started any new projects yet, though.

For ZSH, I have a script that automatically installs oh-my-zsh and a bunch of zsh plugins, and changes my default shell to ZSH.

For everything else, some files will just get copied over, others left behind. I only “manage” them when I need to view/edit them.

Do you know what version you updated from?

Was this a fresh install?

• Painted ledges for climbing
• Compass in open world games
• Crafting
• punching trees/gathering twigs to creste basic tools. (Seriously, so many survival games start like this)
• random stealth section for no reason, and it you get caught it’s game over.
• Title that the first 2 words start with A and C.
• Title that usually has some variant of “Remaster”, “GOTY”, or “Next-Gen”
• For card games, mana system because so many card games have this for some reason.
• party members who usually use inefficient moves against an enemy.
• hunger system where you need to eat 3 whole turkeys to get your hunger back up to 100% after losing 75% from sleeping 5 hours.
• Day/night cycle with sleep that just drains your hunger/thirst stat, but raises your HP to max.

I could go on, but this list is long enough. Ironically, only 1 thing on this list relates to card games.

Arch Linux (BTW) is my main/dev OS, but also Windows 10 VM for certain projects.

For simple scripting in any language: VSCodium

PyCharm, Android Studio for projects in specific languages.

For other full projects: VSCodium

As for testing/deploying projects, I have a QEMU dev VM that’s connected to my IDEs using shared folders running basic Arch with fresh install of KDE Plasma.

Plugins mainly consist of QoL features, linting for certain languages in VSCodium, themes, etc.

GIMP is still missing a way to draw a circle without some convoluted method. It won’t work for my needs currently.

Paint.net for Linux. Most of my experience with making art digitally came from paint.net and there’s not really a good alternative that doesn’t require me to recreate my workflow from the ground up (Krita).

Pinta is technically an option, but it’s missing many of the features that modern paint.net has.

For now, I have to make do with a VM to run it.

Despite having tinnitus, I can still hear very subtle sounds and identify them.

• For example, a long, deep hum means a garage door is opening/closing.
• I can also hear (and feel) footsteps and movement from people around a building, even very subtle movement.
• I can also pick up on all the little creaks a building makes.

However, despite being able to hear subtle sounds, I cannot hear “no” sound or silence due to the ringing. :/

Thank you, I didn’t know you could do this!

On Mobile: Obtainium due to GitHub’s rate limiting after 2 refreshes (I have a lot of apps on it) and having to wait 30 minutes before I can update anything.

On Desktop: I don’t really have anything bad for desktop, so I guess FreeTube since I can stop watching videos instead of doing work.

For me, I mainly just focus on enjoying the limited time I have without really caring what happens in the world. World going to shit? Oh well, I still have my hobbies I can do instead of worrying about that.

Don’t really have a number for your scale as I don’t even know if you could call this nihilism.
