You can install powershell on Linux if you’re feeling masochistic

Thanks, that does sound familiar. Maybe it was the gpg bit that confused me before.

Is there a simple guide to checking checksums? It doesn’t seem like it should be complex but half the time the distro’s instructions don’t work for me!

XFCE is fine, it seems to largely behave and while it doesn’t have any bells and whistles it can do everything it tries to do fine. Gnome on the other hand… everything I wanted it to do required a plugin which had since been broken by a new version. Plasma seems great so far!

I just moved to Plasma from XFCE and my first thought was wow, this runs fine on old hardware, why have I been suffering through the 2010 experience when I could have had features all this time!?

I saw winboat recommended the other day and was pleasantly surprised at it’s performance, so yeah I’d recommend giving it a try too

I’ve never tried it myself but I’ve heard a lot of speedrunners map mouse click (or whatever button they need to spam) to the mouse wheel, that’s probably something you could do in Steam Input (if that’s how you’re running your games)

Use the exact same setup you have, then when she calls and asks you how to do something then you either already know or can check on your own machine!

I think GameMaker is free if you’re not selling your game

If you want to make money from your game, you need to buy a Commercial License for $99.99 .

If you want to export to Console you need the Enterprise subscription.

Other than that, everything else is free and unlimited!

Well I can think of a few things wrong with Kryten’s favoured method of plugging in his “cable”

I rarely need to do it but what’s wrong with just plugging in a cable?

I recently installed ChromeOS flex on a 2GB RAM device and it seems to work fine, it was an old EoL Chromebook though

What are the issues with multiple drives?

Plenty of people uploaded stuff to youtube for years before it started giving them any money

What do they say if you don’t have a smartphone?

I use Cryptomator so I don’t have to trust my cloud storage providers not to read my data

If you’re comfortable with scripting CLI tools then rclone seems to support icloud, you can use it to sync everything to a local directory which you can then backup however you like

You can rip out ChromeOS and install Linux, good if you’ve already got an old EoL Chromebook but I’m not sure if it’s worth actually buying one for it

FYI Lemmy already supports RSS, for instance I could add this feed to any RSS reader to follow you
