when my cat was little i got a bug catching game on my tablet for him. he still to this day taps on my phone if i leave it screen up.

this looks like a good place to start:

should be pretty easy with imagemagick. it has libraries for most programming languages, or you can bash script something together pretty easily

i did not set a language, so i see all languages

nethack, super startrek (basic), space quest, infocom games, ultima,

one of my favorite games of all time is called Rags To Riches on commodore64. you play a homeless guy getting your life together getting a job and education with very addictive gameplay in my opinion.

there is a pico8 remake you can play oline but the og is better. https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=29519

ive been playing a port of the original rogue (which nethack is based on) and its pretty fun too

do not get a pinephone as a daily driver. battery life is like an hour, and its incredibly underpowered (i say that as a fairphone 5 daily driver). i cant speak for any other linux phones as i havent used them, but i plan to make a conserted effort to switch when fdroid stops working

man honestly those things smell great in the first place for some reason

where will ai steal the info from without the web?

i like realdebrid + aria2c, but i agree

normally id say “linux is free, there’s no harm in giving it a go”, but between your lack of free time, nvidia graphics card, dependence on proprietary software, and previous experience (and slight distain) for linux i’d say just go with win 11.

there may be a way to get your music software to work in linux, but youll likely need to mess around with wine configs and it may never actualoy work right.

if you are interested ever, fire up a vm and play around with linux to get comfortable with it. maybe when win11 reaches eol (or even before) you’ll want to make the switch.

none of this is said to scare you away from linux. searching for drivers is rarely a thing in linux. there are built in tools in most distros to deal with graphics drivers, but apart from that, given the open source nature of linux, everything else is just handled by kernel modules and are basically seamless unless you have some weird proprietary hardware. linux is fairly easy to use these days, but there is quite a bit of a learning curve because it is a fundamentally different os than windows, and the way you solve problems is very different.

you did nothing wrong. ubuntu is a perfectly fine distro for beginners. the reason i dont use ubuntu anymore is the age of the packages started to bother me. also its kinda annoying that releases hit eol at some point. i like arch for the rolling release (no eol) and the fresher packages.

if ubuntu worka for you, keep using it. there is no correct distro.

there’s no need to change my mind. there’s a reason i stated everything in past tense. this was several years ago.

its not an extra step. 9/10 trips were short trips in a neighborhood, and saved the step of putting on the seatbelt. 1/10 trips on highway with an additional step. saved me 9/10 steps.

it does not depend on the state, white claw does not have vodka in it. high noon does.

im rarely id’d for beer…
