- Lua if you want really see functional programming as a philosophy
I'm pretty sure that Lua doesn't follow functional programming as a philosophy...
If you want something that feels more quirky, go with Lisp.
Cool, where can we find it?
I understand the argument being made, but I kind of disagree. Yes, picking a DE in which you'll be comfortable is really important (and often an undervalued aspect of using Linux for the first time), but I think that the time you need to spend self-maintaining your distro is more important, and is also prone to make-or-break your first-time Linux experience. That's the most important factor on whether a new user says "I love Linux and want to continue using it" or "I fricking hate Linux, it's filled with a bunch of problems, I'd rather just use Windows instead". And that's why it's important to recommend beginner-friendly distros, as to avoid frustration of newcomers, because those are more manageable (unless those newcomers want the frustration of managing something that they don't quite understand :)
Does it matter which one in specific? No, and it's probably at this point that the DE and visual looks should kick in.
I'm curious where linux fits into the story.
Someone here on Lemmy recently shared a really interesting article about the invention of Linux, written by a friend of Linus Torvalds who also worked on the project for a long time: https://lwn.net/Articles/928581/
Real Kanjidamage vibes
For anyone wondering:
- There was a plugin on Unity Store that acted a bridge between Unity and libVLC, which allowed developers to make video players inside the game engine. As the post says, it got removed.
- This plugin isn't made by VideoLAN, it's made by a company named Videolabs that includes several people who supposedly have contributed a lot on VLC and FFMPEG.
- The Videolan team made a blog post about this, if you want to know more: https://mfkl.github.io/2024/01/10/unity-double-oss-standards.html
What? Nobara has pre-installed stock Google Chrome? That sucks...
