ah, duh, yeah - the share shrunk but the pie grew so it’s still a bit more cake


well, the first thing is that you might want to update the instructions for finding the themes folder. In Gimp I had to look under preferences-interface-theme to find the folder – and even then it was a bit of a journey, since I installed it with flatpak, so the folder ended up being in /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gimp.GIMP/x86_64/stable/5c600asdghjsd0cfe6e9e5bcf71a2e8a1a7e0ca018f43aabfa38dc12bd0954034f06/files/share/gimp/3.0/themes/
…while the Gimp settings just say app/share/gimp/3.0/themes/


“real GDP per capita more than doubled in this time period which means consumer spending also doubled”
GDP measures a lot of things that are not consumer spending.


Nice, I’ll check it out


no, I’d say Blender looks a lot better. I tried to find a roughly equivalent palette for comparison:



at minimum it would be nice if they just looked at the spacing and organization of the different palettes. This does not look tidy… or professional, really. It looks cramped and messy.



Yeah, I’ll have to work on my explanation there as well.
As I understand it, Matrix is a standard for doing Discord-like things (and other stuff as well, but never mind that), but it’s also an organization that hosts a service that follows that standard - you can make an account there, and use whatever client you like to join servers and do Discord-like things.
But anyone could host such a service, or make such clients, so a big tech firm could never fully own Matrix - in the same way that they can never fully own email.
Sound right?


Matrix seems pretty mature, and has screen sharing with audio?


If the software you need to use isn’t very demanding, you can run windows in a virtual machine (VM) inside of Linux – the exception is games that have kernel-level anti-cheat, those will probably never work on Linux in any way, and you’ll have to dual boot to run them. Most other games will run easily if you just install them with Steam, but I’ve come across a few that I use a VM for.
What software and games do you need to run? I might be able to help.
Also, the distro you should go for is called Linux Mint.
Mint has the perfect balance of stability, support and up-to-date-ness for beginners - and honestly for a lot of experienced users as well.
