I think a boost is referring to the Mastodon kind, so basically a retweet

it's ridiculous how easy it is to use now once you get the basics down. im a bad artist in general, so i mostly use it for editing existing models, but i can also whip up a simple prototyping model pretty quick too. awesome stuff

Wouldn't be a proper week without a leak on a War Thunder forum

I jumped to transphobia because of my personal experience with gender. Yes, misogyny is a better word. That's not a mark on trans people though, I'm not the one attacking people's identities here.

Definitely keep the original files intact/backup the files before doing anything, but theoretically, I think it should be possible. Likely, though, depending on the game (especially if it's a game not made to be modded) there may be specific things like DLLs that look for a niche Windows component or driver that Proton can't translate and won't work.

That being said, Proton is open-source so there are old versions and forks that may work better, GE-Proton most famously. Also, if the game has built-in mod support or rely on a platform-agnostic runtime like Minecraft Java edition, those probably won't be an issue anyway as the engine/language runtime should handle low-level stuff like that by itself

What I did to learn was basically trying to mimic my Windows install in terms of programs and features. I installed games I played often onto Linux and learned basic software installation and Proton by doing that, then I installed some productivity apps (mostly their Linux equivalents, not the exact ones) and learned to use those, and then did some customizing. Not everything works, at least well (VR for example), so I dual-boot still

I'd also recommend pulling up the terminal to do some basic stuff to get used to it, like using sudo apt install for some select programs, ls and cd for file navigation, etc. You won't need the terminal for daily use in mist distros, but it'll be important sometimes

Also, if you choose Mint like I ~~shill for~~ recommend, searching the forum has proven useful in my experience

Video game assets/customizing :) I used VRChat as an excuse to design a persona (in my pfp) and I made a game prototype to pay homage to my first car. I wanna do way more stuff but I'm still learning

December of 2022. I was moving away from closed-source social media, and after Twitter -> Mastodon, Reddit was next. I didn't become active til the whole API thing tho, because Lemmy didn't have some communities that I liked. So I made one lol

The Nissan Leaf seems to be the only one worth being concerned about. Don't quote me on this but I remember reading the old ones (like 2011ish to around 2016-17) had poor airflow to cool the battery so they lost capacity quicker

English is all good, and honestly that's a good point. I tend to forget that the browser is what forwards the OS to the website, not the OS itself
