cmake now finally supports c++20 modules

I wouldn’t use modules in production quite yet, there’s still a lot of implementation bugs, but for experimenting its quite usable

Less than half and more than half imply strict inequality, so 6000 < x/2 < 6002, so 12001 <= x <= 12003

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

You can also use revanced to patch your own api key into Infinity and use that instead

Linux by itself is just a kernel, there’s a whole range of operating systems using it. Most of them have some commonalities, but there are also huge differences. Most of them can run directly from a USB stick (or in a VM obviously), so you can try some out.

Some things that basically all of them do very well, compared to windows:

• mainly open source components (± some proprietary drivers and apps, if you want)

• no ads in the OS

• support for very old hardware, being (depending on actual OS more or less) light and resource efficient

• very good package management

• customizability

There are many things that are specific to some OSes. I switched from Windows 10 years ago, and I can’t see myself going back. Everytime I have to use it somewhere, I get annoyed quickly.

There are some drawbacks:

• software has to be built against a specific kernel, and some proprietary software is not offered for linux. There are compatability layers for running windows software on linux without emulation, but they are mainly optimized for games (I’ve had windows-only games run faster on linux than on windows!).

• some drivers are unavailable for linux, as the device manufacturers have to cooperate somewhat. However, almost everything will work.

• some drivers are available, but require binary blobs distributed by the manufacturer. The proprierary NVidia drivers, for example, are faster than the open source reimplementation noveau, but they can cause problems with some software like sway. If you have an AMD gpu, their open source drivers are great, so no problems.

Roughly all the servers (including Microsofts own cloud), half the mobile systems, lots of the larger embedded stuff and some small percentage of deksktop systems are using Linux. Again, just try something (maybe Pop!_OS or Mint) and see if you like it.
