  • Another recommendation for Linux Mint here. I've bounced between Manjaro, Ubuntu, Fedora, and I've found Linux Mint to just be fantastic for beginners, in that everything just works, and it does a great job of guiding the user through installation, updating drivers, updating packages (including choosing an appropriate package mirror), and setting up backups.

    It's just really nice all around; the only thing I could complain about is lack of touchpad gesture support, but that's probably not an issue for desktop PC usage.

    What are y'all's all time favourite game OSTs?

    Personally, I'm a huge fan of Hollow Knight, Ori and the (Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps), and Kingdom Hearts. Orchestral soundtracks are just something else...

    As an amateur writer, how do you figure out your endings?

    Like many, I find I can come up with cool setting ideas and various characters, but one thing I struggle with is figuring out how to wrap everything up.

    What's your process of nicely crafting the middle of your narrative and flowing it naturally into a satisfying ending?

    Why would anyone want to own the libs?

    What browser / extensions do you make use of?

    For a while now I've been quite happy running LibreWolf, with Bitwarden and some other privacy extensions. I've also switched over from Google to Kagi as a search engine; doesn't keep me anonymous, but I do love not being the product for once.

    Programming @beehaw.org

    How'd you get into programming?

    Personally, I started off with Roblox back in the early 2010s, and taught myself Lua. I really liked those Tycoon games, and wanted to see how they worked.

    I eventually found Minecraft (like every kid back in the day did), and learnt Java to make Bukkit server mods.

    Around 2016 I thought websites were kinda cool, so I started learning HTML, CSS, and JS, and I've been in the web dev space ever since.

    What about the rest of y'all? What's your personal programming path?
