I feel like there is some cause to list CS degrees and their position on Unix and Linux. awesome-linux-cs repo?
Moved from Gentoo to Ubuntu in 2008 as I needed to focus more on my job, moved back to Gentoo in 2022. Snaps were part of it, but really the lack of maintenance and vision around the apt repository was really the issue. More and more I was installing stray debs, or having to use flatpaks / AppImages for what what I wanted the system to manage for me.
Not that I’ve entirely stopped using flatpaks or AppImages, but the process of creating an ebuild is far simpler than trying to do anything with a deb. For a while I had hope about the ppa, however that became fewer and fewer. I do think that the battle to have a comprehensive software repository is a loosing one because of the way things are currently structured.
What languages are you wanting to use, the combination between toolkit and language can make a big difference to your experience.
There are a lot of interesting options out there that aren’t top of people’s minds too. For instance Lazarus, and Flutter. Both can do cross platform.
Used to use Xnest to do this. IDK how easy it still is these days.
It’s probably great for bulk as it gives you something close to what you would expect. I imagine it would be different for things that are specific to the lore, world, etc.
Could mean that there is a lot more detail in games, and a lot might even be unintentional.
Is it Space Odyssey?
The fact that is is from LA Times shows that it’s still significant though
