  Once you have the idea, seeing that it works if often easy. But coming up with ideas like that can be really hard, which is why gauss was the only one in his class who got it. There is no general method, you just have to think about stuff for a while, but you can get better with practice. And it feels really good when you prove something for yourself, even if it’s relatively straightforward. You can just try to prove some simple things yourself, if you want, the advanced college courses are just for proving really advanced stuff.

  It just goes up all the way

  I’m also unable to see the difference directly, but everything just feels more snappy. If you can’t feel it, maybe you have some extra latency from somewhere else

  If you look at its protondb page, it seems there was an issue with the nvidia drivers that got fixed, so it may work better now. It’s still only silver-rated though, so there are probably issues left. Admittedly, I’m sidestepping a lot of this as I have an AMD gpu, but even with nvidias quality drivers games with such issues tend to be more of an exception.

  I have ~200 games in my steam library, all of which run by pressing “play” in steam. I may just accidentally like games that run on linux, but running through 150 pages of forums definitely isn’t the norm nowadays

  I’ve seen enough devices with the usb ports mounted upside down, for whatever strange reason. Also sometimes you want to plug something in without looking, this is much easier with USB-C

  It doesn’t necessarily need to be 4-dimensional en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinor

  bash’s autocomplete fails (at least with default settings), but e.g. zsh can figure out what you mean
