…does Doom use it for anything?

A lot of the time, rust rewrites are more for devs, than users. Rust code is just easier to maintain (in the long-run 😉) and harder to make buggy. But some times the apps do just run faster when compiled with Rust.

I specifically like to keep up with linux gaming news, so I have these two in my RSS feeds:

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/

https://linuxgamingcentral.com/

They just make good informative posts in general, not always relating to Linux.

Yeah pretty much where I’m at. I have to be careful not to seed basically at all, otherwise I’ll get angry letters from my ISP. Kinda sucks, and most if not all VPN services charge money to be able to use torrenting over them. But maybe someday I’ll work out a system.

Cool, I'll look into messing around with that to see if I can script up a nice comment viewer.

Just in case no one comes along with a better answer; I would say it’s just too niche a use-case to expect a whole distro to be maintained for it. A super stable/popular distro like Ubuntu, Fedora, or Mint will be easy enough to use that I would consider downloading all the apps you’d need for writing to be feasible for a “non-technical” person. i.e., just as easy (if not easier, thanks to Flatpak) as doing so on Windows.

Hugely appreciate all the work you’ve done. Even if not by direct means, I’m certain your work will inspire new iterations in new communities.

TikTok really doesn’t perform that much more data collection on their apps than Google does, if at all more. Sure, data going into the Chinese government might be a bit more concerning, but I’d say most if your argument is dangerously close to Chinese fear-mongering.

Back when I was desiging my own parts, I landed on ponoko and sendcutsend for having the best pricing and quality.

Also, smart move with the Iris. I love the layout but having metal parts would make a huge difference.
