Agreed. It’s really shit for new code, but if I’m writing glue code stuff or repetitive code it saves a lot of time spent on typing.

Unfortunately I can’t help you with Nobara, but I’m surprised you’re having troubles with EndeavourOS.

EOS has been working out of the box for me for almost everything.

Thanks for the response. Seems like I can’t assume other CS degrees are comparable.

We definitely have a strong focus on security in my degree, but I still believe that awareness of what you’re running on your machine and potential dangers of those programs fall into the category of common sense. Mishandling secrets, having bad authentication or not knowing how to setup SSL is definitely experience stuff though.

Neither young or naive. Just assuming others share my experience.

Makes sense, I feel bad for the guys that were happy for a chance and got screwed over. (By the hackers, not you, haha)

That’s a bad take. Unless you get your knowledge purely from shady tutorials or have a fast track bootcamp education, it’s unlikely you never touch on security basics.

I’m a software design undergrad and had to take IT Sec classes. Other profs also touched on how to safely handle dependencies and such.

While IT Security is its own specialisation, blindly trusting source code others provide you with is something a good programmer shouldn’t do.

If you need a metaphor: Just because a woodworker specialises in tables, doesn’t mean they can’t build a chair.

Edit: Seems like my take is the bad one 😂

It’s sad that this works. You’d think especially software professionals would be the most vigilant about running unknown code.

He cs_assaulted the counter

Like many others already said. Being self taught is ok, but employers need at least some kind of confirmation about your skills. So getting some kind of officisl certificate will make your job search a lot easier.

Microsoft offers a bunch of .NET certificates if you do their C# courses for example. You can also become a certified Linux professional.

Find something that interests you and then start learning by doing some tutorials. The most important thing is that you have fun and won’t burn yourself out working in a field you don’t enjoy.

Where I’m from there’s demand for Web Devs, Java devs, .NET devs, It Support, Network Engineers, Embedded systems, whatever.

My immediate thought. And no worries about ink drying up and whatever else might break suddenly. Just pay a shop if you want printing as a service.

Reasonable

No one told me before I bought it, and it’s not mentioned on the steam store, see the point of the specs. So I don’t quite understand what you mean with “if they hadn’t told people”, because they sure didn’t unless you’re on that specific social media they did it on.

I’ve watched all those feature videos before and they don’t mention that I shouldn’t get my hopes up.

Anyways I don’t want to occupy your time and argue, in the end I’m just super miffed and disappointed because I had a free weekend for once and was looking forward to binging CS2.

I strongly disagree. The game has massive performance issues and I’m getting 10-20 FPS on the lowest possible settings with my 2080 Super. At that point it looks worse than CS1 and performs worse.

Also the 7 FPS or so on the main menu are ridiculous, unless they’re using my pc to mine crypto in full force.

If they release a complete game for 50€ or 90€, then I expect that shit to be a super smooth experience, even on the minimum recommended specs, which do in fact note a GTX 980 if I recall correctly.

So either get the specs correct, optimise the game properly or get out of the business. I’m a programmer myself and I’d be deeply ashamed if I released software that performs so poorly.

That made me laugh more than it should have.

I use this method and the only place where there isn’t some slight categorisation going on is the projects folder, because these are relatively short lived and then archived in their respective category again. For example university stuff has its own Area and Archive folder because otherwise it would be too much.

You can always argue that productivity methods like this don’t work, because some certainly don’t work for some people or some special workflows. But these methods can always be changed or just discarded. I’ve read a few books on productivity stuff and found some middle ground that works well for me, just like everyone should do if that interests them.

In case you’re interested I’ve tried out a few things and kinda settled on fish, but will still use bash for scripting.

Fair point. For me using a distro dedicated to making Arch accessible just is more attractive than having an installer and being on my own afterwards.

But yeah, EndeavourOS is pretty much just an installer with purple space theming.

Definitely. For now every fix that worked for Arch, also worked for me.

I think EndeavourOS profits greatly from being so close to Arch, because right now every fix that worked for an Arch user also worked for me.

Idk much about other distros, but maybe try Pop OS first and see if you like it.

As I mentioned I’ve ran into really weird issues with steam because of some missing dependencies that are mentioned on page 49 of google search results.
