Google will change the APIs every 2 years and break all your old games so I’m kinda over it at this point.

Ok so I’ll just focus on dual booting since there are other thorough replys here.

I really recommend that you DO dual boot but only in a specific way.

When people say “Dual Boot”, this can mean two very different things.

A common way to dual boot is to have windows and Linux exist on the same drive by partitioning the drive and installing a boot manager. I strongly advise against this. It’s not worth the risk and pain.

Just install linux on a totally new drive and select it as the boot drive from bios. Leave you windows drive untouched.

Linux is much better than it ever has been. There is a very good chance it can do everything you want. But, especially as someone running a business, there will be times when you just need to get something done and will want to fall back to what you know. These times often lead to people giving up and rolling back to windows in a panic.

Just leave yourself a way to instantly and effortlessly fall back into windows as needed and eventually you will end up doing that less and less. Until you don’t do it at all and the windows drive gets wiped for more Linux storage.

LM studio is not open source at all.

The Luanti community generally does not see it as a “Minecraft killer” and doesn’t want it to be that. But it’s a cool project for sure.

Idk if most software developers know this is what they should be doing and ignore it completely or if they just don’t know.

There are so, so many reasons to do this.

But I don’t think this really happens very often in the real world because it’s not the shortest line from A to B.

This is a thing. It just doesn’t work very reliably for the reasons you mentioned.

It does work kind of ok on some comics like the one OP shared and generally pretty well on manga since that tends to be more consistent with the boxes.

I don’t know of anything open source or self hosted that does this though.

So this is kind of going to be weird advice. Maybe not exactly what you are looking for.

You don’t need all those synths and plugins. You really don’t. You can get so, so far just by learning to use the tools that are built into Reaper or Bitwig.

There are really only a handful of audio effects that “really exist” a lot of FX plugins are just complex chains with fancy UIs. But if you understand what they’re doing “under the hood” you can reproduce almost any sound from from the basic building blocks you have.

The same is true for synthesisers. You truly only need one synth as long as it is a flexible, general purpose modern synth. Learning to use one specific synth to it’s full potential will let you make almost any sound you can imagine. Vital synth is a perfect candidate here btw.

Overall I kind of think part of the Linux mindset in general is kind of about doing things your self based on an understanding of the core principals at play.

That being said, there are tons of plugins coming out with native Linux support all the time and it’s getting better every day.

I’m actually about to drop some Linux builds of some plugins myself but I don’t want to dox myself here so that will have to remain a mystery for now.

Depends on what you mean by “audit”.

I look at the GitHub repo.

• How many stars?
• Last commit?
• Open issues
• Contributer count

Do I read the whole code base? Of course not. But this is way more than I can do with closed source software.

I’m openly blocking any emails that include the words “Microsoft” or “windows”.

It’s hard to tell if you actually are making a coherent counter argument here since your response is 90% ad homenem.

Concepts are high level ideas. Mechanics are lower level implementations of those ideas.

But I think the original poster really meant “vision” or “motif” more than they meant “concept”.

A game with lots of deep mechanics but lacking overall vision is really just seen as a fancy tech demo by most people.

You’re describing mechanics not a concept.

An ad for what?

I wish Nvidia agreed.

Literally why? Not even criticizing rust but the GNU core utils are easily some of the most reliable and documented software tools ever written.

Not to mention, looks like the rust core utils are MIT and not GPL.

This is making me want to distro hop back to pop_os!

It’s likely more than you think

I like both games but this is subjectively true. I think a lot of people would find the art in Mindustry a lot easier to look at.
