My choice as well. I do my C++ development in Vim, and the keyboard shortcuts for switching tabs were the best I'd found. The easy screen-splitting is great when manipulating virtual machines, or having a man page open when working on scripts.

It would be nowadays, but this is an old old advert.

Yeah; if I was picking the aspects of Ubuntu where they were making a mistake, 'minimal default install but easy to download more' would not be what I'd have selected - that actually sounds a good thing. Having too much out-of-date crud was starting to be a problem. 'Everything is a snap, which runs like a three-legged dog even on a powerful machine, and causes me disk space issues on less powerful ones too' - that's a problem. 'Keeping on messing with Firefox, and replacing my ppa version with an out of date snap, which means I've changed my works machine over to Mint to avoid their nonsense?' - that's a problem.

It's not called the 'Tiananmen Square' by the Chinese - that's just the name of the place. Either 六四屠殺 (June 4 massacre) or 六四鎮壓 (June 4 crackdown) would be more likely. And yes, expect loads of downvoting on Lemmy if you're ever critical of China.

BTRFS, which works great as long as you accept its limitations.

Yeah - I'd narrow that down to brand new AAA game (likely to have Denuvo) or multiplayer, as some anticheats don't work. Basically everything else now? Perfect.

I took the day off work to play Elden Ring when it first came out, and was gutted when it didn't start on Linux. Glorious Eggroll had the fix up about three hours later, after which it's been absolutely perfect.
