  • How to get a 5 yo started in (useful) computing?

  • If he has support, he'll be fine. My issues learning stuff growing up was no one in my family to teach me anything, so frustration and giving up was common. Imo fishings just boring af most ppl would hate it, especially if you don't like nature. Learning code is way easier younger, your brain just makes associations related to language easier. Coding itself isn't particularlly hard, easier the younger you learn.There are coding related games on iphone like human resource factory that might help.

    Id introduce them to scratch on the tablet and see if they like that.

  • Benefit of Ventoy/Vhd for Windows vs Dualbooting? or VM

  • I can do it so why not, why not have peace of mind about that 10% storage is cheap and os is free

  • What app/program do you browse through Lemmy with?

    Jump

  • Its prob because of my self hosted instance being iffy(goes down for a few seconds at a time because all of my cpus will go from 18% to 100% for a second sometimes, think friendica causes it), the other apps dont have issues reconnecting when it tweaks, thunder I usually have to force close a few times before it works again, thats more of a shoddyinstance issue with the app.

  • Everything is hard to search and ppl pull the same its already been asked before stuff in there lol Great idea moving help forums to a chat, as a supplement its great, terrible as the main/only option.

  • Thunder has become my main, has the least issues for me, been meaning to customize arctic since its a bit quicker being native. Thunder will sometimes take a bit to post a comment.

  • Reddit, ruined forums, I loved checking forums, I wish federation became a thing back then and all the forums interconnected instead of moving or dying due to reddit communities. It bugs me how they went from being a useful hub for the internet, a link aggregator, guide to the web with wiki/comments to a walled garden.

  • My issue right now is having to give up a lot of size for partition when theres a good chance I never need to open windows again, just in case if I need to it can update and install what I need

  • Benefit of Ventoy/Vhd for Windows vs Dualbooting? or VM

    Jump

  • I want a backup persistent windows, but I dont want it taking up 128gb when im only using like 70gb, I thought vhd were a way to avoid this and have an install I can keep on my ssd or move to my usb with ventoy eith ease and launch if I need windows

    Jump

  • Theres always a chance something I need doesnt support linux, imo its smart to have a backup, I just dont want to waste unnecessary space or want to deal with partitions for windows since they give me a lot of issues trying to shrink them. I saw vhds with usb method mentioned on lemmy a few times and it seemed like a way to avoid partitions since you can have a 1tb whd, with 10gb on it on a 100gb harddrive, so Im assuming you can avoid having to lose hella space to a windows install you might never use, instead only as much as it actually takes up.

    Jump

  • I just want windows in case I need it for specific software or apps for whatever reason, Im not sure how a vhd boot off ventoy works, im trying to avoid wasting a partition on a windows install that will rarely be used

  • Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC

    Jump

  • Just deleted my windows parition and grew my cachyos one, im never going back after a week with it, I like cachyos/arch since I can use gnome and plasma at the same time easily (i like swapping looks a lot), idk if its as easy with others since they reccomend you rebase for different des like bazzite, aurora, bluefin. cachyos is straightforward with a gui installer, easier and much faster than windows to install and use, I used ventoy so I can keep using my usb for data.

  • Do you know anyone in real life that uses Lemmy?

  • People don't like redditors in general, its an insult, I dont think lemmy has the same vibe but its also not popular

  • Do you know anyone in real life that uses Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I didn't know a single redditor either, some ppl who had seen my name (my dumbass doxed my full unique name as my username when I was a kid and I didnt change it forever) irl had mentioned it to me, but they didn't use it past google, they weren't posting, commenting, or signing up

  • Frameworks cool if you can afford it, but if you want the best perfomance/deals, then laptops go on sale for half off or 70% off often, you just gotta check daily since they sell out within the day for those deals

    Give yourself a month to look at deals, its around week 3 for me where I usually purchasep

  • I recentlly swapped to cachyos, works way better than windows, had hella driver issues on windows, I forgot and reinstalled my windows os (shrunken partition, just in case I need it) had the same issues.

    All I've had to download is like two extensions in the package manager for the amd gpu to work in blender, everywhere else it workd well instantly (because of cachyos and all it installs)
