Not sure about multiple monitors

Most usb-c ports with DP alt mode support up to 1 monitor at 4k@60Hz, or 2×1080p@60Hz, and I believe 2×1440p@30Hz. It comes down to bandwidth, so I think that as long as you're fine with one monitor running at a slower refresh-rate or lower resolution, you can have your primary screen displaying in high-res.

Of course, you have to also take into consideration the GPU performance, running higher resolutions will usually degrade performance!

well, the point of flatpak is to have bundled dependencies so they run predictably no matter the distro

if one of your software's dependency gets updated, and your software isn't, you may run into issues - like a function from the library you're using getting removed, or its behaviour changing slightly. and some distros may also apply patches to some of their library that breaks stuff too!
often, with complex libraries, even when you check the version number, you may have behavioural differences between distros depending on the compile flags used (i.e. some features being disabled, etc.)
so, while in theory portable builds work, for them to be practical, they most often are statically linked (all the dependencies get built into the executable - no relying on system libraries). and that comes with a huge size penalty, even when compared to flatpaks, as those do have some shared dependencies between flatpaks! you can for example request to depend on a specific version of the freedesktop SDK, which will provide you with a bunch of standard linux tools, and that'll only get installed once for every package you have that uses it

i hate it when they only give out A20 exam sheets

my helping you

okay, this is a personal thing, but i need the source/citation for the 3rd quote. that grammar rule has beeg bugging me for like a month, i need to know where and when this is from, and who wrote this

and some native japanese words get katakana-ised too!

e.g. バカ, most animal names, etc.

the package is maintained (will continue to install on modern ubuntu versions), but the software is unmaintained (no bug fixes, no new features, will stagnate and eventually become obselete as incompatible with future desktop standard modifications)

and when they're caught, they'll dispute the claims with regulators, like every company does all the time.

i remember digging a bit into the french data protection office v. discord a while back, when they got hit with sanctions for not respecting gdpr, and they disputed every single claim, sometimes arguing in real bad faith, like them claiming they handle very little private user data, so they don't need to do data protection analysies like the law says.

considering google's sheer empire on data, i imagine they play the same tricks, but like 1000× worse

i swear i argued with someone that said killing lightning would create so much ewaste, and that still sounds like a stupid arguement to me…

i used ShowMeTheKeys!

= is not a terminator! it's a modifier for the previous key: e= -> ə!

i did set up both space and enter to commit a word though, yeah!

i'm not saying that you should use a VM if everything on your PC requires windows... only if one specific app you sometimes need doesn't work on linux!

as someone studying foreign languages for example, i know that if i want to do translation, i'll have to use windows for some specific proprietary cat software. but i don't spend my whole time in a cat software! i would also need to work with email, and some projects would require me to use a browser-based tao software, and in those cases, i'd much prefer being on linux to use things like a better japanese input, tiling window management if on a laptop, and generally, not having to deal with advertisments!

i switched my desktop to wayland a few months ago due to weird performance issues in some 3D applications

it went mostly flawlessly, i haven't had much if any issues in terms of app support, as long as your wayland compositor supports xwayland, everything should work pretty great!
the application ecosystem isn't as widely developped though, so you may run into issues if you try to use standalone window managers/compositors like sway, hyperland, etc… but besides that, everything's been great for me!
