I use a trackball because they take up less space but there is a learning curve and you really have to spend time dialing in a sensitivity you’re comfortable with.

It sucks that cool projects like hyprland are usually riddled with toxic weirdos that ruin it. It also sucks that there’s not much to choose in the wayland space that’s usable and actively developed but I refuse to use hyprland after seeing this.

I’m tired of GNOME messing with it’s API but hopefully this is the last time since they’re switching to a standard system. Besides that, it’s my favorite DE on Linux. I have to give plasma 6 a shot when it comes out but right now GNOME feels just right compared to other desktops.

Teeworlds. When I was a kid I searched up “free online multiplayer games on pc” and it actually led me to this Wikipedia article full of open source games. I tried out teeworlds and I was hooked on it and it led me to playing other open source games like cube 2 and open arena. In my head, the term open source meant “free stuff”. Searching for open source stuff led me to discovering Linux and trying it though the Wubi installer and eventually moving to it a few years later.

Once in a while I venture their forums as a morbid curiosity and it always delivers.
