Fantastic show that I’ve been recommending left and right since I saw it a few months ago. It goes further than you think it will, and I believe thats what really elevates it from a story about AI to a story about ‘humanity’

That makes sense, thanks!

I want to maintain my Windows 10 install for now as a sort of fallback. I have a lot of random software installed for my university classes, and I don’t know about all the compatibility issues I might face with those. And letting it sit there in the background in case I need it for something feels safer than jumping head first into a new OS.

Trying out liveUSB or VM stuff seemed like it would be an extra hurdle in transitioning to Linux. Like, I want to get settled in and actually use it as a daily thing, not just browse the internet a bit here and there. If I don’t like the distro I choose, I can always just install another one, right?

I currently use Windows 10 and I’d like to try out Linux. My plan is to set up a dual boot with OpenSUSE tumbleweed and KDE Plasma. I’ve read so many different opinions about choosing a distro, compatibility with gaming and Nvidia drivers, and personal issues with the ethos of different companies like Canonical. I value privacy and I’d rather avoid a Linux distro that’s implementing something like ads or telemetry…if that’s even a thing that’s happening?

As a complete beginner, what sort of advice would you all have for me? Should I avoid OpenSUSE or KDE Plasma for some reason? Are there any ‘10 things to do first when installing Linux for the first time’ recommendations?

Despite all the ‘beginner friendly’ guides and tutorials around, I still feel a little lost and like I’m going into this blind.

EDIT: Thanks to everyone who's offered advice, I really appreciate all the help and the patience with my dumb questions! There's a lot to look through and it's been a busy day for me, but I'll get back to reading through everything and replying as soon as I can!

I just got an Apple TV and I’ve been struggling through the setup. Connecting all the accounts, logging into everything and updating everything. I would think by now there would be some way to link accounts and have things manage themselves better.

Every now and then I remember how simple things felt back then. The internet was new and exciting, we didn’t even have cell phones yet. Technology was built with innovation. In some ways we’ve fallen a long way from those days.

I started learning Ren'py and Python last December, but realized that I wanted to do something a little more dynamic. Right now I'm in the early stages of developing a 2D top down RPG with turn based battles and a focus on relationship development, but I chose that because it's something I could do on my own if I don't find anyone else.

If I can get a good team together I'm sure we could come up with some interesting ideas for a game!

Great idea, thanks for the heads up! I'm still finding my way around this place.

You aren’t wrong @Anissem@lemmy.ml. It’s pretty niche, but there’s definitely a market out there.

Tiny game studio? (pawb.social)

Hey, I’m new around here. I’m a unity developer, artist, and musician, and I’m looking around to see if anyone’s interested in starting a tiny studio mainly focusing on M/M furry games.

If any writers, artists, musicians, programmers, or anyone creative is interested, feel free to give me a shout here or a DM at furaffinity.

I don’t have a lot of my work online, but you can find a bit of my art on furaffinity -> Nokinori.
