I was thinking of making a pixel-like mural where I figure out how to use all the colors I have. I was thinking of crowd sourcing it with friends and acquaintances. Then I realized I would probably end up with a huge multi-color bottlecap penis mural in my shitty real-life remake of bottlecap r/place.

I guess it could unlock a special achievement to find it when the nukes fall.

On this Surface Pro, touch, rotation, and even the pen is working! I didn't expect it to just work and it is.

It worked immediately without much fuss. That's why I was scratching my head. Was it always this easy!? I'm enjoying the experience so far

"This only makes sense. Ovens are a very big part of what makes food and designing and building the ovens costs a lot of work. They deserve some share of the food made in the oven. That food should ideally be proportional to how many edibles items are made by the chef, which should be proportional to the amount of times the food is baked. And this is only one of their plans. There are other plans as well. So maybe someone can explain to me why this is not just a sound business decision apart from: I don’t want to give away my baked food?"

What changed to make it happen? I am so done with other OS and Linux does everything I need. I really need to learn more about what's happening and how to better use it so I can further customize and configure.

Yeah, Lemmy uploads made it this way. I even tried to correct it twice. When it didn't work I shrugged and let it be because ain't nobody got time for that shit.

Ok this is getting to the question I had. I found a few YouTube videos that went into detail about updating the kernel. I was wondering what's the purpose when it was working as well as it has. I'm going to try to do this and follow the guides. Initially I had to overcome a BitLocker issue and a bug where I couldn't overwrite the partition. Once I finally got Ubuntu running I was ready to dive into making it touch compatible, but it was already there. I suspect this makes it even better

The after is the more walkable and less car-centric photo right? I know there has been a push to reduce the use of cars and approach work has been done or make it more walkable or by bike.

That's why they are upset. It's so important they can't read it.

It sure did. That's why I was surprised. Thank you!

"Co-op was the most requested feature and we had it in our prior games, but we decided screw you, we arent going to put in couch co-op. We'll make up something about tension being lost, and how it's not a party game. Oh, but we'll still have online co-op where the tension will be there because you are sitting alone from each other I guess."

Ok, that makes sense. I suppose a Surface Pro is still kinda a computer with a touchscreen. Overall I was impressed with how smooth the experience was and look forward to it developing.

Hey, I truly get where you're coming from. I've been down similar paths where everything I knew and believed in seemed to crumble around me. And man, it hit hard. It's like you're built for a world, and then suddenly that world doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Back in my rough patch, it was hard to see any silver lining. Everything felt like it was taken from me, but over time, I began to see those moments differently. It wasn't about what I'd lost, but rather about the new perspectives I was gaining and the resilience building up inside of me.

One thing that helped me during those times was to stop looking so far into the future or dwelling on the past. Instead, I tried to focus on the present moment. It sounds cliché, but it grounded me. Made me notice the opportunities and little blessings right in front of me that I might've otherwise overlooked.

And while I know it's not easy, finding that internal anchor and focusing on the here and now might give you a new viewpoint. Sure, things are different, maybe even unrecognizable, but there's something to be said about the lessons and strength we gain from facing adversity.

Hang in there. Times like these reshape us, and while it's a challenging process, you might find that on the other side, you're stronger and more adaptable than you ever imagined.

Did you try the Serrif suite of Affinity products? Photo, Designer, and Publisher. They helped me step away from Adobe design tools. https://affinity.serif.com

Thanks for these insights. From my laymen experience with Linux, I am a bit fuzzy on all the distros and variants. What's the major difference between Ubuntu (or whatever distro) and what you described? From your perspective

Xournal++ is amazing! It's really the reason a Linux tablet will work for me. I also appreciate using GB Studio and Aseprite with the pen. Makes retro game developing a lot more fun!

Sounds like it's a bust to use terminal on a tablet. Damn.

Yeah, me too. It just works!

I have been on Lemmy for awhile and this post has been the one to gain the most traction. Thank you, this helps even further. I scratched the surface of immutable and this further dissects it into deeper "categories". My first thought is that, if I didn't know about immutable distros in the first place (aside from the meaning of the term), I probably wouldn't know what I'm missing or gaining.

My uses for Linux will grow across 3 categories.

1. Business and office work. Mainly spreadsheets, documents, presentations, and virtual meetings

2. 3D Design, 3D Printing, bitmap and vector graphics editing, coding, and retro video game development

3. Streaming via OBS, ATEM, webcam, HDMI capture, and various USB inputs and devices.

I have tried building machines on non-tablets and have got 80% of the way there with all 3. The tablet has me 100% with 1 & 2. This all gives me a greater understanding that helps me avoid and research more into the options based on needs.
