@PrivateGER I have an NVIDIA GTX 1060

@deadPix3l I actually like them 😛 I've tried installing Arch tonight but I've had a minor issue with the bootloader that now I know how to fix.

It's bed time now but will try again tomorrow!

@RantSomeWhere Trying it right now

@VaderNT Interesting! What did you end up using?

@Omnisus That is enlightening to some extent actually. Thanks! By the way I'm currently trying out Arch, let's hope for the best.

EDIT: TBH I kinda changed my mind since the creation of this post, I kinda need a Linux environment for work and a VM won't do. That's why I bought an SSD and started trying out some distros in the first place.

@PrivateGER I had distorted audio in discord, barely audible mic input and laggy window resizing

Why are scala and go a waste of time? 😂

It's Java but even more verbose and boilerplate

@sharktits You don't use spotify then I'm guessing

@Mba3gar Reminded me I also listen to more quiet things like chillstep and synthwave too sometimes.

They're pretty nice!

@Mba3gar Upbeat and fast paced music makes me think and type faster probably but I don't focus too much on the music, it's just a background noise.

Techno, rap (I've only listened to Eminem so far tho) and sometimes pop also work really well for this

Instead of watching videos I would suggest writing some code. Learn the absolute basics of python (variables, functions, lists and dictionaries) and start building something and playing around.
That's the best way IMO to get in touch with a language.

@hexc I just said that python is just a language and if you're looking for performance that are many other interpreters that are much faster and easily outperform java, c#, etc.. :/

If you want to understand why Python is great just read the article for a full view (It's like 5 mins) but it basically boils down to development time.

JFYI The backend of the MMORPG Eve Online with thousands of players in the same server is made with python. Of course they used a different implementation that the official one (The slow one) and they probably wrote C here and there but in the end, it's python, and it works

@hexc C/C++ are great options for building applications IMO but don't you think they're too old, too verbose, too much boilerplate to write an entire program in? Sure the performance will be great but how much time will it take to write?

Also I suggest you read this, it may change your perspective on python

@hexc What language do you think should be used instead?

IMO, I don't want to offend anyone, just my two cents:

Java is ugly and very verbose. Also it requires a VM. Sure, you can bundle some kind of executable but the VM is at least 50-100MB. I can only understand its usage for serverside applications to be honest.

Python itself is just a language. The official interpreter is slow yes but there are many others.
PyPy is a just in time compiler much faster than the default one.
Cython compiles to C code.
Both of these can outperform java without much effort and in some very particular cases even c++.
Python can run C and C++ extensions for critical sections that require performance. This is what all scientific or cpu intensive libraries do.

Also nowadays cpu is rarely the limiting factor compared to network and io and even if that was the case you can write that particular cpu intensive task in C and call it from python.

Classic apple bullshit, fuck them

Yes I know about splice, filter and all that. What I meant to say is that it shouldn't be so "difficult", it should be a simple array.remove(value).
