Spain would probably be around that much if my calculations are correct.

67wpm 97% accuracy with chrooma keyboard and swipe. Switched to gboard and only got 54/87.

Something with enough context to write sensible test cases for a large codebase. It would be great if you could write test cases for a couple of domains, then ask it to write cases for a third domain following the same general style as the first. It would ideally have a conversation about what things to mock/stub and what things to keep.

I personally think 5 years isn’t enough time to get to that point with something that works really well. It’s tricky enough to get a junior up to speed with doing it sensibly, but cutting down on the time it takes to build a good test suite would mean we Devs can spend a lot more time on features and improvements.

As others have said, that’s basically pop shell. Cosmic will be out of alpha at some point this year, but you don’t need to wait for that to get started. I’ve been using pop os on my personal machine, and Ubuntu gnome with the pop-shell gnome extension for many years and it works great. Pretty much zero config and it is super easy to set up and get started.

Yeah ignore the hate. I really don’t get what that other poster could possibly be missing. LTS versions are where it’s at anyway. I’ve been loving pop and am looking forward to cosmic (when it’s ready). Like you say with all the kernel and libraries updated it’s totally fine to stay on the LTS.

just install its 22.04 release and you should be good until April 2027

I think this is a really great point. A lot of the Linux community really like distrohopping and running bleeding edge systems, but if you want to just use your machine to get stuff done you can’t go wrong with the LTS versions of stable distros.

Pop 22.04 has been rock solid for me and I won’t be switching to cosmic until the issues are ironed out, my work laptop will be staying on Ubuntu 22.04 (with pop-shell) until the next LTS has been out for a while.

Not having to worry about whether a rolling upgrade will bork your system is really nice. I think we should be suggesting LTS to all newbies as standard as it’s a much smoother experience.

To OP: Pop is a great distro and the tiling window manager it comes with is absolutely fantastic. If you want a beginner friendly system which gets out of your way and let’s you actually use your computer it’s a fantastic choice. Getting used to the way gnome/pop-shell works and the workflows takes a little getting used to at first, but once it clicks it’s really hard to think of using anything else.

Top tip: if you hit an issue with pop and googling for pop solutions isn’t working, 99% of the time just search for Ubuntu and you’ll find plenty of info about it.

Yeah I run Pop shell (gnome with a bunch of tweaks) and don’t miss a dock or task bar at all.

Great keyboard navigation of workspaces and automatic tiling make it super easy to organise programs and navigate to what I need almost instantly.

I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with cosmic once it’s ready.

Replacing the thermal paste is essential. It dries out over time and stops conducting heat effectively. Cleaning the fans and radiator fins is important too. Takes an hour or so if you don’t know what you’re doing so shouldn’t take long. I’ve kept my laptop going for years by doing that every 2 years or so.

The polity series would be really cool. It’s a great universe with lots of options for storytelling (which the diversity of the books demonstrates). Starting with prador moon and then following the war with the prador for a while would be amazing to see.

If I had another choice I’d pick the Children of Time series.

eventually

I’d absolutely love to see the whole heresy play out on the screen, but it would be hundreds or thousands of hours to show it all lol. I’ve been reading through it at a pretty good pace and after a year in only about halfway through lol.

Looking forward to seeing what Cavill does with 40k. I heard they only got the rights to 40k though, not 30k or fantasy, so it’s possible someone else gets those rights.

Yeah this article is a nice juxtaposition to that deranged rant. Hopefully if more game devs see it they’ll appreciate the Linux gaming community a bit more.

I’m definitely there with you. I actually forgot that hot existed because it’s basically a ‘new’ sort.

On the one hand it’s handy because it makes me browse Lemmy less and do more productive things instead, but it isn’t good for encouraging growth of niche communities and topics if everyone is just looking at the same few posts.

They do not
