In theory it should be mostly fine to touch, idk much about it either unfortunately. it might be a good idea to put some sort of spray on sealer if you will be touching it regularly and are concerned about it at all.

It is definitely dangerous to sand or cut with a saw or something, definitely want to do that outside with gloves and a respirator because then you’re getting loose fibers both on you and airborne.

I’ve only used cura (no particular reason, just what was shown to me and I now know how to use it

However, I’ve heard good things about both prusa and klipper

Currently have been playing a fair amout Stormworks: Build and Rescue and the new Space dlc, unfortunately there are a fair amount of bugs but it’s still quite fun.

The other game I am playing a lot of is Deep Rock Galactic

I doubt windows either has or wants to have that functionality, given their more business/general purpose oriented focus, also the steam deck runs on Linux.

A part of me wonders if it would be possible to put the Linux distro/is of a steam deck onto a dedicated gaming computer to get some of the optimisations from it like that.

I’ve not tried it yet myself, i would check the satisfactory forums on either steam, here, or reddit if you really want to for discussion of it.

Yep, although its still on the experimental branch which is update 8. The list seems to focus more on upcoming titles than already released ones interestingly

There’s a browser based version of Oregon Trail I’ve played a fair amount of

the Vex series are pretty good parkour/platformers that even had their own level builder

red ball

one fun one was the helicopter one where you move blocks into positions that I forget the name of

I forget the exact name of the series, it’s Flight or I Can Fly or something like that. The one with the penguin where you upgrade your glider and try to destroy an iceberg

A pretty good one with a rocket you upgrade and eventually get to Mars that’s fun

Sorry I forget the names, it’s been a while. Most probably aren’t even playable anymore unfortunately

I had just been searching around and messing with stuff and narrowed it down to only having problems when in a discord call and connected to my headphones with Bluetooth, but not when the same device was in wired mode. I tried a different audio channel mixer that I found for free after a quick search, and now it works! Thanks!

Yeah that’s a little what i suspected, it’s worked fine on win 10 with the exact same setup thoughm What other software did you find that worked? And was something to replace discord or just help with audio mixing?

For the CAD, that’s pretty much what I expected and definitely seems to be the overall conclusion.

Some of their more prominent characteristics are high, soaring vocals, kinda constantly epic sounding, and pretty cheesy (which is a good thing)

I like them a lot

Yeah for the most part it is fine, it’s just given me some weird problems I haven’t had before, not sure if windows is to blame or the computer itself. For some reason whenever I am playing a game on steam and also in a voice call on discord the game audio will get cut out and/or distorted a lot of the time. The overall complaints are of course being somewhat bloated and morals.

Yeah my current setup is far from ideal, my laptop is pretty solid though, it’s better than my PC. Win 11 is kinda sucky from the few weeks I’ve been using it though

Yep I’m doing mechanical engineering, and already like doing CAD on solidworks and have experience on it already so there’s no way I’m going to switch anytime soon. This post really wasnt intended to be trying to find how to run it on Linux, more just to see if it’s even remotely possible out of curiosity.

My current plan is to just run raw windows 11 on the Dell Precision 3571 that I got recently, I don’t use Linux nearly enough on my dual booted PC to warrant putting it on my laptop too, even though the PC will stay at home for the time being

Wait, cargo shorts are ‘out’? Shit. That’s like most of my shorts lol, they’re the best. For reference I’m 17 but not particularly fashion aware. Most of what I wear is robotics club t-shirt plus cargo shorts, jeans, or cargo pants. So don’t feel bad about what you wear, just wear what’s comfortable and you like.

I might learn other cad software eventually, but I already have 4 years experience with solidworks and will basically have to use it for college anyways so I won’t get any benefit at the moment. As for gaming, I have gamed on Linux and know it works fine, it is just overall more of a hassle and needs more time than I can commit to right now, at some point I intend on fully switching over as much as I can and properly learning how to maintain Linux.

Im pretty sure Inventor is the other main industry cad software, and considering they are both Autodesk it may also work ok.

I’ve used OpenScad a little, definitely agree it’s only good for small things.

I have the exact same list for power metal lol, only thing I’d add is twilight force.

I also like chiptune stuff, a great artist that kinda crosses over chiptune and metal is rainbowdragoneyes, he has done remixes of gloryhammer and alestorm, and has a whole EP of remixed and OC pirate metal chiptune.

Personally I’ll just use windows since I don’t mind it that much, although even in my few weeks using it on the laptop I got windows 11 is significantly worse than 10, been having some goofy audio mixing issues. I do kinda want to try it on wine tho just for the hell of it and see what happens.

I’ve heard mostly good things about onshape besides assemblies being weird. Haven’t tried it out yet but I also have ~4 years experience in Solidworks already from using it for robotics club in HS and like it well
