the problem is if the connection gets interrupted your progress is gone. you download to a file first and it gets interrupted, you just resume the download later

is there compositor support? is there a way to get kde to rotate my monitor to a specific degree via cli?

keep in mind I have no idea if there are real use cases for diagonal monitors, I just duct taped an accelerometer to the back of my monitor and can only get it to rotate in 90 degree increments with kscreendoctor and thought it would be funny if the picture was just always upright

not sure what you're talking about with lisp lol, the military may have some dialect they wrote but lisp started as an academic language and there's plenty of still supported and used dialects outside of that

wayland doesn't support diagonal monitors

little dark age (album) really just should have been 7 copies of little dark age (song). for some reason I always want more but nothing ever quite fits to follow up

this just looks like poor moderation, enshittification very specifically refers to monetization efforts of the company destroying the platform

not sure for what purpose you want a tablet, but I had a fujitsu 2 in 1 in college that was pretty solid for linux support. no problems with pen drivers or anything. the screen swiveled around and it folded down into a tablet. it was pretty bulky compared to an android tablet or similar, but it worked well for taking noes and had a full keyboard when I wanted it

one more for using nix, but for language tooling I generally prefer a nix shell and installing per project dependencies there. then updates don't break random projects and you know all the dependencies of a given project

fwiw it is possible to get games from all the other stores. the only restriction is it has to be runnable on linux, which really isn't that big of a deal anymore with the current state of proton. it is a bit more work than games from steam tho
