>>539 as many have already said, linux mint is what i recommend to any beginner. it is my favorite "just werks" distro. i use the default cinnamon DE version on laptop for college and it does me just fine. it functions similar to windows, is based on debian (and is therefore stable), and comes with all the bells and whistles a noob would want from a distro. most games work fine on linux now as well so if you're a gaymer you'll have no issues as installing steam is either one command in the terminal or a few clicks in the software manager.

>>539 I am using gentoo although I wouldn't recommend it to a beginner. I suppose mint or ubuntu are the most user friendly distros out there.

Lua because it's really comfy

It gives a developer lots of freedom to solve problems in a way that is suitable, with the features the problem needs and nothing more. My current long-term project is an RPG written in Love2D (which I adore for giving me a useful toolbox to make games quickly without tying me to a whole engine, though Tiled support sucks a bit), and I'd like to eventually use Lua to write 90% of the code for my dream game (a far larger RPG). There's a lot to critique with lua but the absolute freedom it gives me, along with the nice community and the fact it doesn't require much mental effort to work in makes it my favourite.

Emacs syntax highlighting is as if it were not even there, it escapes me how you guys can navigate that in anything above 1000 lines. Macros are neigh indistinguishable from normal text.

You guys just made me interested in gentoo again. I used it for a couple years back when i was a noob and exploring. It was a bit difficult to set up then , over 10hrs of compilation. LOL this time it'll be much easier

>>472 qbittorrent is open source (you dont need to read the code though), find in what directory its looking for the icons and swap the picture out for something to your liking >I mean there are presets I saw somewhere sometime on the internetz You should be able to find that too unless they did some web-based bs, in that case there is a forum you can ask in: forum.qbittorrent.org

I have a couple in storage that were going to be thrown out. I've missed out on higher quality ones. My mother threw out our big CRT TV against my wishes. If you want a monitor with the CRT aesthetic, there's the Checkmate monitors.

I've been using CRTs from 2020 till beginning of this year. If you use it too much, it can hurt your eyes, I've felt this. I usually use my computer for idk 15 hours/day, so this can be a pain in the ass. Now I'm using a LED 27'inch monitor with nice colors and it was the best thing I've done. I love CRTs and it's aesthetic, but I don't think it's suitable for me anymore. Here's one of my old photos using it.
