I grew up and lost all respect for Nate over something really trivial that made me realize he was full of BS. He said imperial measurements are better because you could say you ran “4 miles”, he said saying you ran 3.2km would just sound stupid so why would you want metric? Does he think people in countries that use metric are agonising over having to round distances (just like imperial would the majority of the time) or wish they could express it in miles? Does he always run in exact mile increments every single time? Rant over but it made me irrationally mad. He might have been joking but didn’t care enough to find out.
I feel like I’m getting performance below what I’ve been getting on windows for the same games when I’m booting in Linux. Top of the head example is COD WWII, the gameplay and cutscenes stagger a lot but runs fine on windows with the same hardware. I’ve checked that my graphics card is being used by Linux but I just feel like I’m missing some settings that would optimise it.
I’m running Linux mint with a NVIDIA GTX1070. I know there’s some issues with NVIDIA and Linux but would that be the full reason?

I'm doing a python introduction course, I've made a hangman game and caeser cypher builder so far. It's just started getting into dictionaries so it would probably have something to do with that

What is the most beautiful song you've ever heard?
When you're writing a song, how do you know it isn't just a song you've heard before but don't recognise?
